The spring season is here and we're busy at Draft HQ equipping you with everything you need to see how the college and high school seasons are affecting MLB war rooms in real-time. We recently published our early spring edition of the Spring Mock Draft as well as the latest Draft HQ Top-200 overall rankings. We're breaking down the rest of the players who warrant draft consideration into separate groups, since this is more representative of how pro organizations conduct their business during the draft itself.
Here's our take on the top prep prospects at each of the following positions: shortstop, catcher, outfield, corner infield/utility, right-handed pitcher, left-handed pitcher.
