The COVID-19 pandemic may have brought the sporting world to a screeching halt, but many of the professional leagues are still trying to forge ahead with their respective drafts. Major League Baseball is no different.
In fact, the 2020 MLB Draft is just two weeks away, and it’ll be one of the most unique in the league’s history. ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel just released his revised first-round mock draft, and he has Ohio State’s catcher, Dillon Dingler, included.
Ohio State is not normally known for providing a ton of first-round baseball prospects, but he believes Dingler has an enormous upside and attributes that fit one particular organization’s needs.
