Scott Hunter, Jerry Dipoto and company followed up their selection of high schooler Cole Young by selecting another infielder, this time Tyler Locklear with their second pick of the MLB Draft.
I know the common refrain from many (usually myself included) is that a college position player is rarely a sexy pick and that the upside isn’t nearly as high as a high school player. Sure, that is often the case, but Locklear isn’t your typical older college player, which is sorta true for a lot of players in this class because a pandemic interrupted their college eligibility.
