MLB Pipeline releases 2023 Mock Draft ahead of college baseball Super Regionals

Super Regionals are set to begin on Friday, with 16 teams still fighting for a national championship. Even so, plenty of players playing this weekend have more than just college to look forward to. Many will hear their name called in the MLB Draft, with the first round set to take place on July 9.

MLB Pipeline has released a fresh mock draft ahead of the Super Regionals. Two of college baseball’s biggest stars are at the top of the draft, with LSU‘s Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes set to go No. 1 and No. 2 overall, respectively.

Throughout the other 30 selections, seven other guys will be in action. Some of MLB’s brightest stars have come from the college ranks and will have another opportunity to prove themselves — and on the sport’s biggest stage.
