2021 MLB Mock Draft: Kiley McDaniel’s latest mock draft for ESPN has the Texas Rangers taking Louisville catcher Henry Davis at #2 overall, passing on, among others, Vanderbilt pitcher Jack Leiter and Dallas Jesuit shortstop Jordan Lawlar.
Davis, who we wrote about here, seems to be the undisputed best college position player in the draft, with a bat that could potentially play at a corner spot should he not stick behind the plate. I still tend to think that the Rangers will go with one of the prep shortstops at #2, but that’s not much more than an educated guesstimate.
