[autotag]Jim Callis[/autotag] of MLB.com recently released his latest mock draft for the [autotag]2024 MLB Draft[/autotag] and one of the LSU Tigers best players found his name in the first round of the mock.
LSU third baseman, [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] has been projected to go as the No. 26 overall pick of the draft to the [autotag]New York Yankees[/autotag]. The biggest drawback to that would be that Tommy would have to trim his hair and shave his beard off. On the other side of the coin, the Yankees are a team with a plethora of power hitters in Judge, Stanton, and Soto. Tommy would fit right in with them. Here is what Callis had to say.
“The Yankees would prefer a pitcher but outside of Sloan, both the college and high school groups will be pretty picked over by this point,” Callis wrote. “They probably wouldn’t pass on Cijntje or Doughty but may have to turn to hitters such as White, Amick, or Virginia shortstop Griff O’Ferrall.
The MLB Draft will take place from July 14-16 in Arlington, Texas.
