Ranking EVERY 1st Round Pick 2022 MLB Draft 

“And that’s why the Mets had the best draft in mlb history”

It will be interesting to see Rocker and Leiter together again in the Rangers' system

As a high school baseball player from Stillwater I can 100% confirm that Jackson Holliday deserved #1 overall. He’d hit the ball a county mile, he’d make web gems like they were no big deal, and he’d do some things that you wouldn’t even think were humanly possible like when he made an on the run glove flip to first from the third base side of shortstop. This kid is insane!

As a dbacks fan. Holy sweet mother of god i am so excited for the future, not only do we have a projected insane outfield in corbin carroll, alek thomas AND NOW druw freaking jones, but we ALSO have jordan lawlar, ketel marte, josh rojas (very under rated 3rd baseman he absolutely mashes), and we just drafted Ivan "the hispanic titanic" melendez for 1st base? Man that gets me excited and that doesn't even take into account the fact that we got daulton varsho, a man who not only roams the outfield well but plays catcher? The future is looking SO bright in AZ. The only issue is in the pitching side, which will hopefully be answered in free agency when the time for a playoff push comes

Dback fan … finally something to get excited about. That future OF is sick. Always the chance management trades away a few of them though - ugh. It better not be Druw.

Holiday already in AA hitting .360 with a .930 ops meanwhile Jones got moved to A and is hitting .175 with a .428 ops.

I’m sure I can speak for all of us DBacks fans when I can say we are absolutely levitating with how stacked our farm is 🤤

You should rank every teams draft as a whole.

Always love more draft/prospect videos. The only reason I remember the majority of these players is hearing their names in videos over and over (which is a good thing)

As an O's fan I know I'm excited to watch Jackson Holliday develop.....but we also drafted a 7 foot tall lefty that throws 95+ mph. If he makes it to the majors, the Orioles will have the record for the shortest and tallest players to ever play a major league game. lol

I’ve seen Reggie Crawford at my high school and let me tell you he’s gonna be good! I can’t wait to see him pitching and hitting next season

am I crazy, or did my man at 7:36 just throw a 149 mph fastball?

Mikey Romero just sounds like an future name we will be saying alot.

Kumar pick was genius with the money saved and snagging Brock Porter inn the 4th.

Love the A's pick. Oakland has some good catchers in their farm system.

I went to Tamaqua area high school when Reggie Crawford was there and watching him take batting practice as a freshman in high school I was stunned. That man takes and throws heat

Been waiting for this draft content

Didn’t mention how signing Kumar under slot led to Rangers being able to sign Brock Porter in the 4th

And that’s why the Mets got the biggest steal in the draft with Kevin parada

Love the content as always Marc!

a friend and kid i played many times against Jacob Reimer was drafted at 18 to your mets 👀 would be so sick to see him play , it’s crazy seeing people you know make it. really happy for the kid

i went to North Allegheny and played a season with cole young, dude doesn’t strike out and plays an insanely good shortstop. really good team guy while also being very humble

“This is why Jett Williams will be a 10x Mvp and greatest player of all time for the Mets”

Sleeper picks check out Brooks Brannon (hit over 600 in HS) and Gavin Kilen. Both drafted by the Red Sox and I was impressed that they got them so late in the draft

Been waiting all week for this video bruh💪

Brandon Barriera has some huge chip on his shoulder stuff for getting taken in the final third of the first round. That combined with his raw stuff makes him super super exciting for a jays system which is getting ridiculously good at developing arms

Kumar played for the Indy team that's in my city, and as a Vandy fan (especially the Leiter-Kumar duo in '21) I was soooo pumped when I saw the news that he was signing with the 'Cats I saw all but one of his starts here and he was an absolute STUD! It is absolutley sick that he was picked so high and that he's reunited with Leiter, I am so so excited to watch their careers continue!

luv the draft content, keep it coming! Can you give us a list of top 2023 draft prospects?

As a royals fan, I’m very excited. We have very young studs, Pratto, Witt, Melendez, Cayden Wallace, Cross, Pasquantino, and some of the others that played against the blue jays. I think after we get some pitchers we could make a push for the playoffs.

It is a big mistake that the Mets did not sign Rocker last year.

Keep up the great work

Love the draft content

Been waiting for this since the first round started!!

I was hoping that the Mets would Draft Collier and Lesko but I’m so excited with Parada and Williams

Matt Holliday is my all time favorite player. Can’t wait to see what Jackson does

Was hoping you made a video after the draft

As a JMU fan, I'm excited for Chase DeLauter -- sure, the CAA isn't top-of-the-line competition but this kid showed his mettle in Cape Cod play. Look forward to following his career.

Fun take on the picks. Gavin Cross: That pre-swing motion is not weird. He is simply loading. Donny baseball did that.

Lets go been waiting for this big W marc.

Spence! I love Spencer Jones. He’s an amazing player, not to mention super kind. I’m a huge Vanderbilt baseball fan and Spencer is one of my favorites. Can’t wait to see him in the MLB!

Susac grew up in the same area as me. Played on the same football team, and was in the same little league as me. He’s gonna be a star

Eric Brown is an absolute ballplayer, watched him play at Coastal, dude can flat out play. Love that pick for Milwuakee

I love the draft videos

Saw Kevin parada play this year and he is LEGIT. I’m even a Braves fan but I might have to get a jersey or something. He hit 2 dingers when we saw him play at tech vs fsu and it was awesome. And his walk up song (gods gonna cut u down, Johnny Cash) is 2nd to none! Congrats on the stellar draft pick mark! Im jealous lol 😂

Yes I’m a Yankees fan, but Spencer Jones, 6’7, outfielder, lefty in Yankees stadium, I think he has all-star potential. I think he should be a little bit higher but understand why you put him at 17.

I remember watching Jackson play when he played for the stl crush 5-6 years ago knew this kid was gonna be special hard take on druw jones imo time will tell who will be better tho

I’ve been obsessively awaiting this video.

Anyone else notice the 149 mph pitch at 7:38? Lmao

Number 30 hit a line drive single his next at bat against Brandon Barreara and then was scored by a in side the park home run off the wall by 32 pick Sal Stewart

dude brock porter is the obvious number 1 value pick maybe ever in any MLB draft in history

Any idea when you might upload draft grades

Schultz has been up to 98 mph recently. Rocker’s velocity has been sporadic one start he is throwing high 90s next start it’s low 90s. That’s why quite a few people thought he was falling in this draft

The day we get to see Jones and Holliday play eachother in the MLB will be fun to see

As a Reds fan I’m definitely excited for the future infield and pitching

wish you would have listed what pick each player was selected at, and maybe an analysis at the end about the biggest steals/bestvalue

I covered Coastal Carolina baseball this season for the schools radio station, Eric Brown is a beast. raw power + speed, and like you said, baseball IQ. made some throwing errors this year but has great arm strength

Rocker and Leiter will be fun to watch when they come to the mlb

Good analysis. Over the past 10 years, which draft do you think was the most talented? 2015 seemed like a good class for hitters, not so much pitching

One thing that’s interesting about the Mikey Romero pick is that he actually played with the Red Sox first round pick from last year, Marcelo Mayer. If they move Mikey to 2nd base, they will have a great connection. The reason I know this is because I’m on their travel ball team.

Don’t forget with the Rocker pick at under slot value at only 4 million it allowed the Rangers to take Brock Porter in the 4th… I think that has to be included in the ranking for Rocker

The orioles did it!!!! Great draft!

playing highschool baseball with romero, he deserves top 10, our highschool field is 400ft and he easily hits it out and his glove is amazing

Watched Noah Schultz pitch. I go to his high school. He got some nasty stuff. Like he said. Floor of Garrett Crochet but ceiling of Randy Johnson. Don’t be suprised if he makes the opening day roster in 2024.

As a Rockies fan I'm very happy with Hughes I'm excited to see him develop.

Kumar was the best pick in the draft when you factor in the Ranger getting Porter in the 4th. They could not have signed him if they didn’t draft Kumar. The Rangers got the two best pitching prospects in the draft with 1st and 4th round picks

Brooks Lee is the best player the twins have drafted in a minute. Also shoutout to Conner Prelipp for being a great steal in the second. Go twins

Eric Brown, Drew Gilbert, and Cooper Hjerpe are all top 10 picks bases on where they were selected. Kumar Rocker and Jacob Berry are way to high

Hitting LH myself, the prospect of facing a pitcher who is LH 6’9” sidearm is terrifying.

That pitch at 8:18 is insane... looks like the ball is coming straight at him

As a Giants fan, really excited to see Reggie Crawford's development

3:42 mikey romero is on the away team playing my dads highschool, servite. I was just at a baseball camp there.

Stoked to see Susac, Soderstrom and Shea dominate in an Oakland A's all catcher lineup in 4 years lmao

Been waiting

It’ll be pretty sick to potentially see a future Pirates infield consisting of Hayes, Cruz, and Johnson.

I think you should have ranked this based on value not how good they are

You should do a mlb the show team build where you choose the best player drafted in each round on your squad

post power rankings going into 2nd half

diamondbacks future outfield is insane: jones, thomas, and carroll

Can you do a tier list on baseball movies?

do you have prospect fantasy baseball ranks?

As a O's fan I wanted Drew Jones bad but if we weren't gonna pick him I would had loved Holiday. I think there's a couple reasons why the O's picked Holiday #1 instead of Jones. 1st they are so loaded with OF prospects in their organization. They literally just picked a CF just 2 drafts ago maybe 3 at #5 n 2nd they felt by picking Jones they would have to spend more $ on him then on Holiday n by spending a little less have us the option to draft a guy later n give them Xtra $ so they could sign lk Beavers from Cal who's a giant! N 3rd u never know if any of the other SS u picked in the past will pan out or continue to play the position. We got Gunner Henderson who can play both SS/2B n Jordan Westberg. I think Gunner can be our SS until Jackson Holiday is ready in about 3-4 years. Our #3 prospect is Colton Cowser who's just about ready to be up n plus we got Mullins who's a All-Star CF who's still young. N we just brought up Kyle Stowers now that we got rid of Mancini who we all loved. I think the O's are in great shape for next year. Our rotation will be Grayson Rodriguez, DL Hall, John Means, Watkins pitched great yesterday or Tyler Wells who was was probably our best pitcher so far especially lately n then Kyle Bradish. Our bullpen is great yes we traded out All-Star Closer but to me Felix Baitista was next in line n is NASTY! We got Perez who's leading our bullpen in Era n a few other guys lk Akin who can give u 2 innings, Dillon Tate n other guys who's era's are in the low 3s n under. Our lineup now could be Mullins, Adley, Santander, Hays, Mountcastle, Gunner, Mateo(maybe), Urias,, Vavra n Cowser/Stowers.

Diamondbacks fan but I rly love the mariners pick. Super hyped we got Jones

The Red Sox are a couple of years ahead of the curve. The last 3 drafts have focused a lot on the hit tool. With the shift going away next year now is the time to invest in these guys.

Elijah Green will be interesting. He had the potential to be the best first rounder and worst. Gonna be interesting to follow his career

How do you like the 2 comp picks?

Curious: if Justin Crawford could end up as one of the best picks in the draft, why place him so low? Shouldn't that upside warrant at least top-20?

i don’t disagree with Rocker in the 10-15 range, but getting him under slot and being able to get Brock Porter signed because of that makes the pick an A+ to me

#30 must have learned that stance watching old Julio Franco clips.

Cooper Hjerpe throws like Carl Hubbell, funny!

Cooper Hjerpe is already an all time baseball name

I love the Rangers 5th round pick: Chandler Pollard. He’s an absolute stud built for today’s game.

Dbacks already know our pitching won’t be good so might as well get an All Star outfield to help.

Thoughts on Roman Anthony?

There were a lot of former players kids in this draft

Termarr probably has the best bat in the entire draft, he’s projected to be a .300 hitter once he hits the league. Even if he ends up being a full time DH it’s still a win.

What do you think about the Mets trading for Trey Mancini..

Been waiting on this. go braves

Bowman Draft is gonna go crazy this year 👀

Agreed on Parada... the lil guy, the Altuve comp... thats best case 1/1000 scenario .. guy is 2022 Nick Mandigral. Weird 2ndary pick after Parada

im so bummed the cubs took a crazy high risk pitcher instead of the clear BPA Brooks Lee
