Mock draft: MLB Pipeline’s final predictions

The hours before the 2023 MLB Draft kicks off are dwindling and time is running out for teams to try to line up their Draft boards.

Trying to bring you the latest intel, we worked late into the night to come up with our best final projections of how the first round will go Sunday. There’s still much up in the air, and teams will undoubtedly be working feverishly leading up to the Pirates making the first selection shortly after 7 p.m. ET, live on MLB Network and ESPN. With the likelihood of Pittsburgh working through the names in contention for the top pick up until the last minute, there’s still a lot of uncertainty of how this will go down, but we can’t wait to see how it unfolds.
