2022 MLB DRAFT MAILBAG -- 8/19/2021

Q: With PGAA this weekend, outside of Greene, Johnson and Lesko. Which guys are you thinking have best chance at going day one in 2022.

Sunday’s Perfect Game All-American Classic is always one of the brighter spectacles for draft talent each summer and this year will be no different. There’s a ton of guys in this years game that have a chance to go on day one next summer. Green, Termarr Johnson and Dylan Lesko are all fantastic candidates. Others to keep on who are currently inside the Prospects Live Top 25 include right-handed pitchers Brock Porter and Ian Ritchie Jr., as well as left-handed pitchers Tristan Smith and Brandon Barriera. On the position player side, we like infielders Cole Young, Cam Collier and Jayson Jones, as well as legacy outfielder Druw Jones Jr.

Truth be told there are countless other players who could ascend into day one and this is only a small snippet. Watch out for southpaws Jackson Ferris and Noah Schultz.

2020 AREA CODES UNDERCLASS STANDOUTS

The state of Pennsylvania has produced plenty of exciting prep hitters over the past few years, with Austin Hendrick and Benny Montgomery. Cole Young is hoping to follow in their footsteps, in being a potential first round pick. And he's doing a great job with that, as he has the talent to stick at shortstop, with an arm that produces 90+ mph throws from the infield, with plenty of bat speed from the left side. His standout moment came when he hit a HR against the Brewers underclass team.
