Here's Law's final mock draft:

 

22. Baltimore Orioles: Kellon Lindsey, SS, Hardee HS (Wauchula, Fla.)

The Orioles are also Vance Honeycutt’s best shot at being a first-round pick, although they pick again at 32 and might be able to get him there after he struck out 83 times this spring for UNC. Lindsey is the only prep hitter I’ve heard linked to the Orioles. The other names are all college bats, but most of those guys, other than Tommy White, will be gone by this pick.

Lindsey has a nice profile. Would get a thumbs up from me. The only one that Ive seen us linked to that Im not fond of at 22 is the KSU SS.

[BaltBird 24]

We're pitching heavy in the lower minors, but I wouldn't hate to see a pitcher heavy draft. Kinda hoping Brecht falls to 22 and we can harness the stuff.

Culpepper can stick at SS and according to Law, has the best swing in the draft. Supposedly, super athletic. Was also the best hitter on the national team which included Caglione and Condon. I’d be ok with him.

Now we know who the first 2024 draftee is to the Majors....Christian Moore

Draft falling in our favor? Carson Benge?

[BaltBird 24]

Damn. Benge to NYM.

4 players below 18 (Benge @ Pipeline) have been drafted.....and Benge goes to the Mets

I know zero of these prospects and somehow still feeling some anxiousness hoping that somebody doesn't get scooped right in front of them.

[BaltBird 24]

Honeycutt, Waldschmidt, Brecht?

[Mackus]

Man the Os just do not care about strikeouts. Just said this guy is the highest K-rate to ever go in 1st round. Interesting to see what they can do with him.

I hate this pick....I can't believe Elias is such an....oh wait, I love this pick.

[Slidemaster]

I know nothing about Honeycutt at all, but I reserve the right to complain about him at any time for any reason.

[BSLRoseKatz]

Over/under 0.5 SPs taken in the first round for as long as Elias is the GM lol

[RichardZ]

Honeycutt not my first choice with Brecht and Lindsey on the board but he is high upside. They are trying to hit a home run with this pick but, just like Honeycutt, the chances of a strikeout are strong.

[RichardZ]

Brecht is dropping maybe out of the first round. I guess he’s the pitching version of Honeycutt. High risk. High reward.

[BaltBird 24]

Brecht at 32 would be crazy day one.

[dude]

Given names still on the board, interesting to see if the Brewers are playing some games with 4 selections tonight.

What I like is that I'd expect the Orioles to draft their profile closer than any other team.  If he's in the profile of players they can develop, let's go.

Here we go.
