The hours are dwindling leading up to the MLB 2023 Draft and time is running out for teams trying to get their draft boards in order.
In an effort to bring you the latest information, we worked late into the night to come up with our final best prediction for how Sunday’s first round will play out. There’s still a lot up in the air, and teams will no doubt be working frantically before the Pirates make their first pick shortly after 7 p.m. ET, Live on MLB Network and ESPN. With Pittsburgh likely working through names vying for the top pick until the last minute, there’s still a lot of uncertainty about how that will play out, but we can’t wait to see how it will unfold.
