In this year’s MLB Draft, the Mariners will hold the 6th overall. But this is a draft, unlike any others. College baseball has been shut down and many high schools are shutting down their activities for most, if not all, of their seasons. This means scouting will be impossible and could lead to some wild and crazy movement on draft day.
Of course, it could lead to the most boring and predictable draft ever. We simply do not know. But there is no doubt that MLB front offices will reconvene sometime soon and will turn their attention to their draft boards, albeit without a lot of the information they are accustomed to.
