As I wrote in 2021 MLB Draft 1st Round Primer: Current Players:
Like Kumar, Jack would definitely have heard his name in the 2019 First Round had he not told teams to take his name off their boards, as he was going to Vanderbilt. In fact, we know he turned down offers of up to $4 million dollars, which, you know... is not something I can even imagine doing.
