From last week's draft to The Show?! Here are the draftees who, like Paul Skenes, could fly through the minors.
No. 1 pick Travis Bazzana is among the many players drafted this year that could be the first to the majors for their respective teams. , it was heavy on college players in the first round, with 20 of the 30 selections, including the first eight, coming from colleges rather than high schools.
Many of those players are the best bets to be the first from their team's 2024 draft to reach the majors, but let's go team by team for some analysis on who you might soon see take the field in an MLB game. Teams are listed in their first-round draft order, so let's kick it off with the Guardians and their No. 1 overall pick.The Australia native became the first second baseman drafted first overall -- a testament to his high floor as a hitter after slashing .407/.568/.
Of course, the two best players the Rockies have ever drafted were college position players: Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki. The Rockies needed offense and Condon gives them a chance at their first franchise player since they traded awayin 2014 -- although Jacob Wilson, last year's sixth overall selection, was tearing up the minors and just got called up.
Honeycutt was a great roll of the dice for the Orioles. One of the most talented players in the draft, he hit .318 with 28 home runs and 28 stolen bases this season, has grade 70 raw power and can track it down in center field. He also struck out 84 times in 62 games with a high rate of in-zone swing-and-miss. If it comes together, Honeycutt could be an All-Star -- but there's also a chance he never makes enough contact to get past Double-A.
Caldwell is built along the lines of Carroll as an undersized outfielder, although he doesn't project to have as much power. Waldschmidt fell a little later than he was projected, to the 31st pick. He had a big season for the Wildcats this year, hitting .333/.469/.610 with 14 home runs and 25 stolen bases, some big exit velocity readings and good plate discipline. Despite decent speed, he was a fringy defender in left field, although some scouts believe it's worth trying him in center.
