MLB Pipeline Jim Callis 2026 Mock draft ..

Post by ramfandan »

https://www.mlb.com/news/first-full-202 ... t-coverage

13. Cardinals: A.J. Gracia, OF, Virginia (No. 15)
The first transfer on this list, Gracia arrives from Duke as an advanced hitter with plus power and fine instincts in center field.


Looking at Callis picks from No. 11 to 15 Here are the 5 players that he has in Cardinal range (13) ..

11. Nationals: Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida (No. 13)
Some evaluators prefer Peterson's slightly louder stuff and perhaps higher ceiling to Flukey's superior polish.

12. Angels: Sawyer Strosnider, OF, Texas Christian (No. 10)
Strosnider has one of the best combinations of size, athleticism and all-around tools available.

13 Cardinals ( See above on Gracia )

14. Marlins: Chris Hacopian, SS, Texas A&M (No. 16)
Hacopian might be the best pure hitter in the college ranks, exhibiting advanced feel for the barrel and control of the strike zone.

15. 5. Diamondbacks: Tyler Spangler, SS, De La Salle HS, Concord, Calif. (No. 11)
Spangler's 6-foot-3 frame and his game earn comparisons to a lefty-hitting Cal Ripken Jr. and Corey Seager.


Thought I would post these 5 as probably a high percentage the Cardinals 13th pick may likely come from this grouping , though long way to go til draft day and these mock drafts will change some.

NOTE: The Spangler HS SS from California ( Stanford commit ) was chosen as Cardinal pick at 13 in their 1st Mock draft released a few hours ago.

Thanks RF

I wonder how well the top 10 stay intact until June.
Maybe get a pulled hammy or twisted knee.
