2024 MLB Draft: MLB Mock Draft and MLB Player Comparisons (Ep 148)

The NFL, NBA, and NHL drafts have come and gone. Next on the clock is the 2024 MLB Draft. It's time for SGPN to step up to the plate and deliver an MLB Mock Draft piece. My name is Noah Bieniek, and I host The College Baseball Experience and follow amateur baseball all year long. As a former college player myself and being raised by a baseball coach I am a geek about baseball mechanics and statistics. I used those skills to label all 39 first-round picks with an MLB player comparison.

 

This year's Major League Baseball draft takes place once again during the Mid-Summer Classic festivities. Day 1 of the Draft will be on Sunday, 7/14, in Arlington, TX, prior to Monday's Home Run Derby and Tuesday's All-Star Game.

 

At the top of many big boards, you will see college baseball's Home Run king, Charlie Condon. Slightly behind him, you see a cluster of college bats like Travis Bazzana, JJ Wetherholt, Nick Kurtz, and Braden Montgomery. Two-way talent Jac Caglianone is also a no doubt Top 10 player this year. Will Cags attempt to do both like Shohei Ohtani, or will he devote himself to hitting?

 

Elite college pitchers Hagen Smith and Chase Burns are future Aces in the majors. Lastly, the top two prep stars, Konnor Griffin and Bryce Rainer, look to creep into this year's top 10 as well.

 

In past years, the best MLB Mock Draft has only predicted 4 (FOUR!) correct landing spots. I do not have any sources; I believe that when it comes to the MLB Draft, nobody knows anything. In my belief, 75% of information from "sources" in MLB organizations filtering out information is doing so falsely.

 

Instead, most of the picks in my MLB Mock Draft are based on past draft history. I believe most front offices draft based on their organizational strengths rather than their team's needs. So, with all that said, wish me luck.
