In taking our look back at the first-rounders in this year’s Almost Mock Draft, the hitters that have been profiled thus far have gotten off to pretty solid starts. Mickey Moniak is hitting well for the Phillies, Nick Senzel is on a power surge for the Reds, Blake Rutherford is hitting everything for the Yankees, and Kyle Lewis was amid a mid-season turnaround before injury struck.
Today’s prospect is Corey Ray, who has not quite gotten off to the start his first-round cohorts have.
Kyle Lewis could very well be the first position player off the board this June, but Louisville’s Corey Ray won’t be too far behind. The speedy outfielder has put together a solid junior year, and is a lock to be a top-ten pick in this season’s MLB Draft.
