The 2013 draft class is a crop full of high risk talent with tools to spare. There are plenty of athletes like Austin Wilson, Aaron Judge, and JaCoby Jones to choose from, and plenty of teams are going to be willing to select those types of players. Then, there are the safer, albeit lower upside, bets like Virginia Tech’s Chad Pinder. Fans don’t like the sound of the word “safe” when it comes to their team’s draft picks, but the reality is that there’s a great deal of merit in taking a player that your scouting staff feels is a safe bet to become a solid big league regular.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.
