The 2023 MLB Draft is here and the next generation of baseball players are ready to take the stage.
On Sunday, July 9, the first two rounds of the 2023 MLB Draft will take place. The MLB draft is a much different beast compared to the NFL, NBA and NHL drafts, not only taking place in the middle of the season but it also features some interesting and unique rules.
Coming into the 2023 MLB Draft, LSU boasts the top two prospects after winning the College World Series last month. Tigers pitcher Paul Skenes was picked No. 1 overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates and outfielder Dylan Crews was not far behind, going No. 2 to the Washington Nationals.
Here are all the selections made in the first round of the 2023 MLB Draft.
