1-26

27-42

Round 1 Picks 27-42

Posted By: Chris Ransom Last Updated: June, 8, 2015

Colorado Rockies: Justin Hooper, P, De La Salle HS (CA)

Colorado continues to look for pieces to build a rotation around. Justin Hooper has a mid 90's fastball, and 75 mile per hour curveball that are both MLB pitches. His changeup is at a AAA level and his slider is at a AA level. Hooper just needs to fine tune his pitching for a few years and he should be ready for the majors.
Atlanta Braves: Dakota Chalmers, P, North Forsyth HS (GA)

Atlanta adds another pitcher to groom for the future. Dakota Chalmers is one of the fast risers in this years MLB Draft.
Toronto Blue Jays: Beau Borrows, P, Weatherford HS (TX)

Toronto loves drafting high school pitchers. They add the top one left with this pick.
New York Yankees: Richie Martin, SS, Florida

Yankees get a shortstop here now that Derek Jeter retired. Richie Martin is the top college bat left.
San Francisco Giants: Cody Ponce, P, Cal Poly Pomona

The San Francisco Giants usually go for college players over high school players. Pitcher Cody Ponce is the top ace left at this point.

Previous Pick: D.J. Stewart, LF, Florida State
Pittsburgh Pirates: Gio Brusa, RF, Pacific

One guy the Pirates have scouted extensively is Gio Brusa of the Pacific Tigers. I think the Pirates would take him if he fell in the sandwich round.
Kansas City Royals: James Kaprielian, P, UCLA

James Kaprilian is the best middle reliever in College Baseball. Kaprielian makes a lot of sense for a Royals tam that could use one or two more middle relievers in their bullpen.

Previous Pick: Frank Vance, 3B, Wooster
Detroit Tigers: Cornelius Randolph, 3B, Griffin HS (GA)

Detroit takes the best player available. At this point that player is Cornelius Randolph who looks like he will be the first third baseman drafted.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Mitch Hansen, RF, Plano HS (TX)

Mitch Hansen has the versatility to play anywhere in the outfield. Right field is his best position though and that's a position the Dodgers could use an upgrade at.
Baltimore Orioles: Riley Ferrell, P, TCU

I gave the Baltimore Orioles Riley Ferrell at 26 in my last MLB Mock Draft back in January. Ferrell is a top 40 pick and is great fit for the Orioles at 36.
Houston Astros: Donny Everett, P, Clarksville HS (TN)

The Astros go with the best pitcher available. At this point that is Donny Everett out of Clarksville High School in Tennessee.
Colorado Rockies: Chandler Day, P, Watkins HS (OH)

I really like what Chandler Day has to offer as a pitcher. He makes a lot of sense for a team like the Rockies that is looking for a 4 or a 5 in a rotation.
St. Louis Cardinals: Joe DeMers, P, College Park HS (CA)

St. Louis could use one more pitcher. Joe DeMers seems like a nice pickup here.
Milwaukee Brewers: Alonzo Jones, 2B, Columbus HS (GA)

The Brewers may need a bat. Alonzo Jones is the best player on the board right now.
Atlanta Braves: Juan Hillman, P, Olympia HS (FL)

Olympia High School usually develops one first round pick. At least it has been that way the past few years.
Cleveland Indians: Chris Shaw, 1B, Boston College

Chris Shaw is a first baseman in the making. Someone needs to draft him and bring him up through the system. Shaw would make an awesome addition to the Akron RubberDucks in AA.
