We’re now less than a week away from the 2023 MLB draft, and it’s widely assumed that LSU’s [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] and [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] will be the first two players off the board.
The only question is, in which order will they be selected?
For most of the year, Crews — the 2023 Golden Spikes Award winner — was seen as the top prospect in the draft. But after a phenomenal performance in Omaha while winning College World Series Most Outstanding Player, Skenes has seen his stock rise.
He’s now seen as the No. 1 prospect per D1Baseball (subscription required). He’s followed by Crews at No. 2 and Florida’s Wyatt Langford at No. 3 as CWS final participants led the way.

Regardless of the order in which they are picked, both will hear their names called sooner rather than later in the draft, which begins this coming Sunday.
