MLB Announces Inaugural Draft Combine (That Hopefully No Commodores Will Participate in)

In what feels like a Friday afternoon news dump (side note: do days matter anymore?), Major League Baseball announced that they will finally have a Draft Combine (like other sports do), and will launch it this year:

The inaugural MLB Draft Combine (June 20-28) will feature top high school and college baseball prospects, as identified by MLB Clubs, who will have the opportunity to participate in a series of medical & performance assessments as well as educational programming designed to prepare them for a career in professional baseball. As part of the Combine experience, the top 88 high school players eligible for the 2021 MLB Draft will be selected to participate in a unique showcase tournament from June 20 through 26.
