Where will he end up?
The Braves are a possibility at five, but they’ll probably go with a high school player (like Jordon Adell or Austin Beck) based on the last few draft. The A’s are also a team to watch at six, but the Diamondbacks would be a perfect fit and he would give Arizona a premium outfielder to help rebuild their farm system.
