2016 MLB Mock Draft
With The #1 Pick, the Phillies Select
A.J Puk, LHP Florida
#1 LHP, #1 Overall
Puk stands a redonkulous 6 foot 7 (shout out to Rick Leonard and Lil Wayne) and can consistently top out in the high 90's. Look for Puk to go straight to the league to improve Phillies poor rotation.
With The #2 Pick, the Reds Select
Kyle Lewis, OF Mercer
#1 OF, #2 Overall
Lewis is the best hitter in the class, and the Reds could use some offensive firepower.
With The #3 Pick, the Braves Select
Jason Groome, LHP High School
#2 LHP, #3 Overall
Groome too stands at an alarming 6 foot 5. The skinny kid put on 15 pounds the summer, so I'm not saying he is on steroids but I'm not saying he's not on steroids.
With The #4 Pick, the Rockies Select
Nick Senzel, 3B Tennessee
#1 3B, #4 Overall
Senzel is the closest thing this draft class has to a 5-tool player. If he can improve his hitting, watch out!
With The #5 Pick, the Brewers Select
Corey Ray, OF Louisville
#2 OF, #5 Overall
Some consider Ray to be the best hitter in this class, Ray has great defensive skills.
With The #6 Pick, the Athletics Select
Riley Pint, RHP High School
#1 RHP, #6 Overall
Return of the righties. Look for moneyball to add some young talent to their pitching rotation.
With The #7 Pick, the Marlins Select
Matt Manning, RHP High School
#2 RHP, #7 Overall
Pitchers usually dominate the top half of the first round, look for this trend to continue as this is a deep class.
With The #8 Pick, the Padres Select
Cal Quantrill, RHP Stanford
#3 RHP, #8 Overall
More Righties! Firstly, Quantrill is an awesome name. It's even more trill that he got into Stanford fr fr.
With The #9 Pick, the Tigers Select
Mickey Moniak, OF High School
#3 OF, #9 Overall
Tigers get some help in their outfield. Moniak could easily be a top 5 selection.
With The #10 Pick, the White Sox Select
Justin Dunn, RHP Boston College
#4 RHP, #10 Overall
Black pitcher alert! The white sox see their neighbor Cubs having success with a strong rotation and attempt to emulate their roster.
With The #11 Pick, the Mariners Select
Dakota Hudson, RHP Mississippi State
#5 RHP, #11 Overall
With The #12 Pick, the Red Sox Select
Delvin Perez, SS International
#1 SS, #12 Overall
Perez has the most upside of anyone in this class and may become a 5 tool player.
With The #13 Pick, the Rays Select
Braxton Garrett, LHP High School
#3 LHP, #13 Overall
With The #14 Pick, the Indians Select
Josh Lowe, 3B High School
#2 3B, #14 Overall

Another 6-7 pitcher.
With The #17 Pick, the Astros Select

Alex Kirilloff, OF High School

With The #19 Pick, the Mets Select
Will Craig, 3B Wake Forest
