2027 MLB Mock Draft: November 13

Tyler Henninger
Michael Albee
Joey Cohen
Ryan Miller
With our updated board expanding to a Top 200 last week, it was only fitting that we follow it up with a mock draft. With roughly eight months remaining until draft day and no real intel available on which players individual clubs may be targeting at this stage of the cycle, we decided to take a different approach than we typically do. Rather than attempting to match teams with players based on projected preferences or organizational fits, members of our draft team stepped into the role of general manager, taking turns making selections for their assigned clubs.

As for the draft order, teams were slotted according to the current lottery odds. The San Francisco Giants are not eligible for a lottery selection and are therefore slotted into the No. 10 spot. It is also worth noting that it remains to be seen if a draft lottery will even take place in December due to impending CBA negotiations. 



With all that being said, the Colorado Rockies are on the clock…

1) Colorado Rockies: Dylan Seward, SS, Norco (CA)
 At the top of recent drafts, the Rockies have shown a tendency to go college-heavy, but will take a high-impact prep if they’re on the board. Seward gives Colorado an advanced blend of speed, impact, and high-level defense at a premium position. A switch-hitter, the California native boasts legitimate 80-grade run times with smooth actions on the dirt and a strong throwing arm fit for the left side of the infield. Seward employs a quick and compact barrel from both sides of the dish, with budding impact turning into more over-the-fence juice as of late. From a draft strategy perspective, Colorado will likely have to spend near or over slot for this selection given Seward’s status as a highly ranked prep shortstop. The total package is exciting with confidence in the hit tool, landing the Rockies a top-of-the-board talent from an elite demographic. -RM


2) Los Angeles Angels: Brendan Lawson, SS, Florida
 Lawson is the top collegiate bat at this point in the process, and the Angels will gladly take him in this spot at two overall. I’m not overly concerned with the position debate, as I’m sold on the two tools that will carry him to the big leagues: hit and power. The back of his baseball card is elite, and so is the underlying “advanced” data that backs that performance up and then some. Lawson will likely get flexed to a more premium defensive position throughout the spring to give himself a chance to sell some scouts on his abilities there. Even in the worst case scenario of first base, this offensive profile fits the bill for that too. -MA

3) Athletics: Dax Whitney, RHP, Oregon State
 Whitney coming off the board here would give the Athletics one of the premier college arms in the class and likely the highest-ceiling pitcher available. Oakland has shown a willingness to invest in college pitching early, most recently with Jamie Arnold, and Whitney offers another potential frontline starter to build around. There's some risk involved given his injury history, but the pure stuff and upside are more than enough to justify the selection. With a promising young offensive core already in place, adding an arm of Whitney's caliber makes plenty of sense at 3. -JC

4) Kansas City Royals: Tomas Valincius, LHP, Mississippi State
 The Royals have held a Top-6 pick in two of the last three drafts and have gone the collegiate route. They do so again here with the selection of Tomas Valincius. You could make a case for Valincius going 1:1 so Kansas City would feel real good getting him here with the 4th overall pick. The Mississippi State left-hander has the makings of a top of the rotation arm. He features a power mix that is located with precision. It is an arm that could be fast-tracked to the big leagues. -TH

5) New York Mets: Chris Levonas, RHP, Wake Forest
 After both of the top collegiate arms went off the board, the Mets continue the trend and select from the next tier of high-level pitchers. Levonas is a New Jersey native with a long track record as a draft prospect, turning down a second-round selection in 2024 out of high school. He has turned himself into a Friday night ace at Wake Forest, posting a 3.82 ERA over 26 career starts. This fall, Levonas has gotten his run/ride heater up to 101 with a deep bag of secondaries. He has always had feel to spin breaking balls, including a sharp 11-5 curveball and a horizontal slider with late bite. Levonas also employs a firmer change-up and a cutter that has proven useful. The Deamon Deacons’ ace works from an athletic right-handed frame with length and room to fill, utilizing some moving parts in his operation. -RM

6) Cincinnati Reds: Malachi Butler, SS, McEachern
 Butler has seen a rapid ascent over the course of the last year. The Reds have paid preps quite handsomely in recent years, and they won’t shy away in this spot either. Butler is a slam dunk shortstop with budding impact to go along with his pure left-handed swing. The swing decisions and ability to make contact to all fields are already present in his game. There are not too many holes to poke in this profile right now. There may be some questions about the ceiling for his power, but that should not be a deterrent given everything else he provides. I am feeling really good as a club getting Butler at this spot. -MA

7) Detroit Tigers: Carter Hadnot, SS, Aquinas
 Hadnot feels like a natural fit for Detroit given the organization's recent track record of investing in premium prep athletes, particularly those with the ability to stick up the middle. The Tigers have gone that route with Max Clark, Bryce Rainer and Jordan Yost, showing a clear willingness to bet on high-end tools and offensive projection. Hadnot brings a switch-hitting profile with defensive value at shortstop and plenty of room for his offensive game to develop. Even after Detroit went college heavy in 2026, the overall demographic and upside make this an easy selection to buy into. -JC


8) Seattle Mariners: George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene
 The Mariners have had a knack for developing high-level arms in the last handful of years. Here they get the top prep pitcher on the board with the potential to be yet another impact starter for them in George Ferguson. The Texas prep had an outstanding summer showcasing a power mix with plus control. The pure strikes and stuff is unmatched on the prep side at this point in the cycle. Seattle and Fergueson feel like the perfect match. -TH

9) Washington Nationals: Gavin Kelly, C/UTL, West Virginia
 Getting Kelly at pick nine would be an instant win for Washington, as he’s a player getting consistent top-five consideration. Kelly is a proven hitter with a well-rounded profile from the right side of the dish. After a productive freshman campaign, the Pittsburgh-area native slugged 19 homers while posting a 1.202 OPS. He employs an athletic operation at the dish with an accurate and impactful barrel. Despite proven power at the plate, Kelly’s frame raises questions about his future defensive home. There aren’t many everyday catchers his size, but his athleticism allows him to be a sound defender there presently. The likely outcome for Kelly is at second base, where his actions and body type fit well. The Nationals have been attracted to up-the-middle profiles recently, and Kelly is amongst the best in the class. -RM

10) San Francisco Giants: Dylan Volantis, LHP, Texas
 The Giants went with a premium collegiate righty at the top of their class last year, and now take a lefty in Volantis. Despite not having overwhelming velocity right now, it’s a coat of polish with bat missing secondaries and monster SEC performance as the top arm in a powerhouse program. He’s going to throw a lot of strikes, limit hard contact, spin the baseball for whiffs and develop into a rotation mainstay at the big league level. -MA

11) Minnesota Twins: Ryan McPherson, RHP, Mississippi State
 McPherson represents strong value at this point in the first round as one of the better college power arms in the class. Minnesota has shown a willingness to invest in pitching, and its development staff would have plenty to work with given McPherson's fastball quality and assortment of secondaries. There's legit starter upside here with the type of arsenal that can miss bats at the professional level. Landing a pitcher of his caliber outside the top 10 would be a strong outcome for the Twins. -JC

12) St. Louis Cardinals: Sebastian Castillo, SS, Byron Nelson
 There are a handful of ways the Cardinals could go with this selection, but I have them taking Sebastian Castillo. It would mark back to back prep picks in the first round for St. Louis, after going the college route the previous five drafts. The Texas prep shortstop has arguably the best hit tool in the entire class. There is exceptional bat to ball skills and barrel feel making for a high-floor profile that still has the upside you would want with a pick in this range -TH

13) Toronto Blue Jays: Landon Hairston, OF, Arizona State
 Hairston’s hit-power combination ranks at the very top of this class, with his defensive profile ultimately determining his ceiling. Toronto has taken a mix of prep and college at the top of their recent draft classes, with familiarity after taking Arizona State’s Cole Carlon in the first round last spring. Hairston posted video game-like numbers last spring, slashing .400/.509/.860 with 28 homers and 20 doubles. The under-the-hood numbers are just as loud, with high-end exit velocities and strong bat-to-ball skills, despite a bit of chase. Hairston operates from a medium left-handed frame with strength present throughout. He profiles best in a corner outfield spot or at first base long-term, with hopes for average defense. The stock for Hairston undoubtedly lies in the bat and leaves little doubt as one of the most productive players in the class. -RM

14) Baltimore Orioles: Jimmy Janicki, C, Troy
 The Orioles pivoted off of Rutschmann this past season, leaving a bit of a hole behind the dish. The minor league system is a bit light right now, and it just feels right that Baltimore takes Janicki in this spot. He has seen a rapid ascent in the past few months, thanks to his offensive performance and underlying metrics to pair with the athlete and catching ability. This is a pretty dynamic catching profile, and one that Baltimore would feel thrilled with selecting here in this spot. -MA

15) Miami Marlins: Brodie Johnston, 3B/SS, Vanderbilt
 Johnston would give Miami a polished SEC position player with a strong offensive foundation and the versatility to handle multiple spots on the dirt. The Marlins have invested heavily in pitching over the years, but adding a college bat with a chance to move through the system relatively quickly makes plenty of sense. There's enough offensive upside to envision an everyday regular, with the defensive flexibility providing multiple paths to the big leagues. This feels like a strong best-player-available selection for an organization looking to build out its position player depth. -JC

16) Texas Rangers: Brogan Witcher, RHP/C, Liberty
 When a majority of teams went the college route a year ago, the Rangers leaned into the prep class. They showed they were not afraid to invest in young players with big upside. Witcher fits that mold perfectly, as he will still be 17 years old on draft day. The two-way prospect is a power hitting catcher with plus catch and throw. His real value is likely to come on the mound where there is the potential for three plus pitches. The upside is tremendous and one that would excite the Rangers if they were to grab him here. -TH


17) Pittsburgh Pirates: John Hucko, OF, Charlotte Catholic
 Hucko is one of the hottest names heading into the winter thanks to a terrific summer and fall on the circuit. The Pirates took a high floor over high ceiling approach in 2026 but their most recent draft wins have been from the prep ranks. Hucko is an elite athletic tester with a strong and lengthy left-handed frame. He employs a simple and balanced swing with a tight turn of a quick barrel, showcasing impact ability to the pull side. Hucko utilizes a strong run tool and should get some run in center field at the next level thanks to efficient routes and a strong throwing arm. Even if he slides to a corner, the tools and athleticism give you a lot to dream on. Pittsburgh has targeted similar profiles to Hucko in recent classes, and he gives them a high-quality hit-power combination to work with. -RM

18) Arizona Diamondbacks: Connor Salerno, LHP, Sun Valley
 Arizona has shown a willingness to pay prep pitching in the past two cycles, notably giving seven figure bonuses to both Dean Livingston and Blake Bryant (and both are right-handed). Salerno comes with the size, handedness, capacity to spin and strikes that will make it easy for clubs to buy into this spring. He’s a durable 6’4/225, a PG All-American and proven performer. It’s hard to poke holes into this one. -MA

19) Houston Astros: Adrian Rodriguez, SS, Texas
 Rodriguez fits a Houston organization that has historically done well identifying college hitters with strong offensive foundations and maximizing their production through player development. The switch-hitting profile and ability to handle shortstop bring additional value, particularly for a system that could use another quality infield prospect. Playing in the SEC gives Houston an extensive track record against high-level competition to evaluate heading into the draft. It's a sensible pairing of offensive upside, positional value and a potentially shorter developmental timeline. -JC

20) Boston Red Sox: Graham Houston, SS, Venice Senior
 After a long stretch of investing in the prep infield market with their first round pick, Boston has gone the college route the last four drafts. Here they jump back to the prep market with the selection of shortstop Graham Houston. The profile is fairly similar to their first round selection last year in Jake Schaffer. It is a contact oriented offensive profile. There are sound actions defensively on the dirt with Houston showing the potential to be a plus defender. -TH

21) Philadelphia Phillies: Chase Fralick, C, Auburn
 The Phillies haven’t followed one mold in recent draft classes, but selecting left-handed college hitters has been a common occurrence for Philadelphia. Fralick is amongst a deep college catching class that includes a variety of profiles. The Georgia product has been a producer since arriving on campus at Auburn, owning a career .988 OPS with 24 home runs. Fralick has strength throughout his frame with high-level bat speed from the left side of the plate. His under-the-hood numbers show a high-level hit/power combination, failing to whiff or case at an alarming rate. Defensively, Fralick has room to improve behind the plate but profiles there long term thanks to a strong throwing arm and quick transfers. -RM

22) Chicago Cubs: Casan Evans, RHP, LSU
 The Cubs have been pretty college dominant at the top of the draft for the last few years. Evans slides into this spot well for me. He’s a quality collegiate starter at a powerhouse program with a track record of innings, strikeouts and stuff at the highest level. There’s going to be evaluators that have at least two plus offerings on the card (CHG, SL), and the fastball may get to those marks on some as well. Teams will want to see the walks come down a few percentage points this upcoming spring, and if it does, Evans could easily go a lot better than this. -MA

23) Chicago White Sox: Trent Grindlinger*, C, Tennessee
 Grindlinger would represent another investment in a premium position bat for a Chicago organization that has emphasized offensive upside in its recent drafts. After adding considerable middle-infield talent, including Roch Cholowsky and Landon Thome in 2026, going after a college catcher offers a different avenue to strengthen the position-player pipeline. Grindlinger brings experience against high-level SEC competition and an offensive profile worth betting on at this stage of the first round. The combination of positional scarcity and potential offensive impact makes this a sensible selection. -JC

24) San Diego Padres: Ethan Gustus, RHP, Roseville
 The Padres have used their last 10 first round picks on a prep player and four of the last five first round picks have been prep arms. There’s no reason to think they will sway from that strategy here as they take California prep Ethan Gustus. Gustus is a 6-foot-6, 192-pound right-hander with loud present stuff. The fastball has been up to 100 mph. There is an advanced feel to spin a slider and feel for a changeup. The upside is tremendous and fits the Padres draft philosophy well. -TH

25) New York Yankees: Lubin Rincon, SS, The Bennett School
 The Yankees tend to test the waters with multiple profiles throughout their draft classes, but taking prep shortstops at the top has been a trend for New York. Rincon is a consistent performer on the circuit with a massively projectable frame and fits on the left side of the infield. He currently boasts a well-rounded offensive profile with a smooth and balanced left-handed stroke. Defensively, Rincon figures to get a shot at shortstop but may slide to third base deeper into his career. The prep shortstop demographic is a talented one this year, offering tons of projection and a variety of profiles. New York has been successful in developing this profile and continuing the trend would make a lot of sense for the Yankees. -RM

26) Atlanta Braves: Calum Andersen, RHP, Vauxhall Academy of Baseball
 The Braves have a bit of a pipeline going in the past couple of years from Canada into their farm. I like them taking another one here, grabbing Andersen. He came to Jupiter just a month ago and showed everything he needed to. The velocity, the operation, the secondary arsenal and strikes were all impressive and beefed up his draft stock. He is also extremely young for the class. The Braves have shown they are more than willing to go out and pay right-handed arms a pretty penny that they believe in. -MA


27) Cleveland Guardians: Matt Ineich, SS, West Virginia
 This might be one of the cleaner organizational fits in the entire mock with Ineich checking several boxes Cleveland has historically prioritized in amateur hitters. The Guardians have consistently valued bat-to-ball skills, offensive approach and up-the-middle defensive value, all of which make a college shortstop with a left-handed bat particularly appealing. Ineich gives Cleveland another advanced offensive prospect with a chance to develop into a quality everyday infielder. It's the type of profile the organization has repeatedly targeted and found success developing. -JC

28) Los Angeles Dodgers: Drake Hawpe, OF, Liberty Christian
 The Dodgers have leaned toward the prep side of things in recent years and do that here again with the selection of Drake Hawpe. Son of former big leaguer Brad Hawpe, the Texas prep outfielder has the makings of being a legit bat. There is a strong feel for the zone, an extremely quick and accurate barrel, and big time power potential. It may not be the traditional athletic upside the Dodgers have chased with preps in recent years, but pure offensive upside is exciting. -TH

29) Tampa Bay Rays: Juan Diaz, SS, IMG Academy
 Diaz is an exciting middle infielder with loud tools and athleticism that translate on both sides of the ball. The Rays have heavily targeted prep up-the-middle profiles in the past three drafts, a demographic that produces athletes throughout the diamond. Diaz fits that mold, with defensive versatility but the skill set to stick at shortstop if given the chance. The Florida commit boasts 80-grade speed with quick-twitch actions on the infield dirt. A switch-hitter, Diaz possesses elite-level bat-to-ball skills with a no doubt hit-over-power profile presently. Advanced hit tools have been highly coveted in recent years, and Tampa Bay has been in the middle of that trend. -RM

30) Milwaukee Brewers: Elyjah Mason, SS/OF, Huntington Beach
 We liked the SoCal to Milwaukee pipeline that has been brewing the past few years. Naturally, we went with Mason here. He was a massive riser at Jupiter, posting a 1.455 OPS over nineteen at bats and a pair of homeruns. It’s about as projectable a body as you could ask for, giving way for a good bit of power projection to dream on. He’s got present bat to ball ability, reason to believe in the chance for shortstop long-term, and an athletic gait. It’s a first round profile. -MA

Texas American Dominates for the 12U All-State Select Championship A run-rule, 11-3 victory over California National sealed the deal for Texas American’s 12U PG National All-State Select Championship win. 6 different players combined for Texas American’s 11 total runs - Ishmael Ruiz knocked in 2 runs with a double in the bottom of the second, Cannon Hughes knocked in 5 runs with 2, 2-run home runs in the first and second innings and an RBI walk to seal the game.
