2021 MLB Mock Draft: Jim Callis has his latest draft projection up, and he has Vanderbilt righthander Jack Leiter going to the Texas Rangers with the #2 overall selection.
Callis’s newest mock continues to show how in flux the top of the draft is — he has Marcelo Mayer going #1 to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and says that his floor is the Detroit Tigers at #3, while he has Oklahoma prep pitcher Jackson Jobe going to the Tigers at #3 in this mock.
Leiter’s Vandy rotation mate Kumar Rocker goes #6 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in this projection, while Dallas Jesuit prep shortstop Jordan Lawlar, seen as a potential first overall pick, slides to the Kansas City Royals at #7, though Callis says Lawlar would likely want more than slot money at #7 to sign.
