The 2023 MLB Draft will be taking place in Seattle this year, as Major League Baseball continues to do destination drafts in All-Star cities.
This year features a ton of college talent, with College World Series champions Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes of LSU expected to go top two to the Pirates and Nationals.
After that, things get interesting. Wyatt Langford out of Florida has a lot of buzz around him, while Wake Forest's Rhett Lowder is being talked about as a top right-handed pitcher.
SCOUTING REPORTS: Paul Skenes | Wyatt Langford | Rhett Lowder
Out of high school, Max Clark and Walker Jenkins lead the field if teams are looking for some non-collegiate talent (who won't demand such a high signing bonus).
