With the first round of the MLB Draft in the books, let's take a quick glance at what we saw transpire.
- It didn't take long for the first surprise pick, as Danny Knobler wrote. The Mariners took left-handed pitcher Danny Hultzen. The ensuing tweets from scouts could be summarized by shock, and pretty much all of them noted their mock drafts were already blown up. One note on Hultzen, he's been said to be the type of pitcher who won't need much time in the minors, as he's already seasoned. If he develops as expected, he could be a nice No. 3 behind Felix Hernandez and Michael Pineda for years.
- Two of the first three picks were from UCLA. Trevor Bauer had the far superior numbers, but pretty much everyone agrees Gerrit Cole has the higher upside. Cole went first to the Pirates.
