Cubs go with Ed Howard. Sox on the clock! I had barely heard of any of these guys before tonight ... but I was sure they'd grab Mitchell. If we do take him, it's only the 4th correct pick in BA's mock.

In a way I’m relieved that they won’t be picking a HS arm. Just so much risk with those guys in the first round. Now watch them pick Bitsko.

Howard and then Bitsko for me Yep, Theo nails it. Might be the best drafter ever. Sox should have lost a couple more games...

BA's write up:
Some evaluators believe Yorke is the best pure hitter on the west coast, among high schoolers. A 6-foot, 195-pound shortstop committed to Arizona, Yorke has a long track record of performing as a high schooler, with a well-balanced swing that’s routinely on time. This spring before the coronavirus shut down the 2020 season, Yorke was tapping into a bit more power as well, hitting the ball with authority to the pull side and up the middle. He has a chance for a future plus bat and fringe-average power while handling a middle infield spot. Yorke dealt with a shoulder injury prior to his junior year and is still recovering from that, which leads some scouts to believe he’ll be a better fit as an offensive second baseman. Still, other scouts have said his arm has looked good, with a better arm stroke recently and above-average arm strength. With solid footwork, instincts and an internal clock, he has a chance to stay at shortstop, or he could slide to third base. Wherever he ends up defensively, teams love the bat that Yorke brings to the table. There are a number of teams that have Yorke evaluated in the second- or third-round range, but he could be a difficult sign out of Arizona.
