2020 MLB Draft: Profiles on top prospects

The 2020 MLB draft marks my sixth year covering the draft and writing detailed stories on the top prospects.

Over the last five years, I’ve interviewed 191 MLB draft selections, including 67 first-round picks. Out of those 67 first-rounders, 13 of them were taken in the first five picks, including prep outfielder Mickey Moniak, prep shortstop Royce Lewis and college right-handed pitcher Casey Mize, who each went No. 1 overall.

My coverage has been quoted by many publications, including Baseball America, USA Today and The Arizona Republic. I also have made radio appearances as a “MLB draft expert.”

Make sure to check out the Baseball Prospect Journal frequently, as I’ll continue to publish profiles on top prospects until the MLB draft occurs. Also, follow me on Twitter @DanZielinski3.
