With the 2021 MLB Draft in the rearview mirror, we turn the page to the 2022 MLB Draft. Off the cuff, the 2022 class looks much, much healthier in terms of college bats. It’s also loaded with high octane prep arms. As it stands today, it might be a lighter year on the college pitching side, but there’s a ton of time between now and next July for guys to really pop and take enormous leaps forward.
In this outrageous attempt at forecasting next July, several names stuck out as potential Top 12 picks. These are what we landed on in this outlandish exercise that will almost certainly be completely useless and incorrect a year from today.
