The best draft pick on each MLB team’s active roster
Angels: Mike Trout (1st round, 25th overall, 2009)You’re Carlos Correa, and this all started on Draft Day 2012.
The Astros, it was thought, would select either Byron Buxton, a high-school outfielder from Georgia, or Mark Appel, a right-handed pitcher from Stanford.
When they chose you, Carlos Correa, made you the first No. 1 overall pick from Puerto Rico at age 17, it was a bit of a shock.
Brilliant, as it turned out – the Astros signed you for $4.8 million, $2.4 million under slot, then used their savings to grab a high-school right-hander named Lance McCullers at No. 41. But a bit of a shock.
