The latest 2021 MLB Mock Draft from Baseball America has dropped, and the two big name Vanderbilt pitchers, Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker, have dropped from previous incarnations of the mock.
BA has the Texas Rangers taking California prep shortstop Marcelo Mayer at #2, as Jordan Lawlar, the Dallas Jesuit product who the Rangers have been following closely this spring, goes to Pittsburgh at #1 in this mock. Jack Leiter, who had seemingly been anointed by some as the #1 pick a couple of months ago, drops to #4, while his Vanderbilt rotation-mate Kumar Rocker slides all the way to #7.
