Pirates Draft Prospects: There’s a Clear Top Five Group in the 2023 Draft Class
With just over two months until the 2023 draft class, there is still time for changes to be made at the top, but things have remained rather consistent throughout this whole process.
Recent mock drafts and prospect rankings have shown that there is a clear top five in this draft class. Depending on who you ask, there are either 1-2 tiers of players among those top five, and even the cutoff for that split isn’t agreed upon.
Jim Callis from MLB Pipeline was recently asked if this is the best 1-5 since the 2011 class, which was a very strong class at the top. He noted that each of the players would be candidates to go first overall in many years.
