Miami Marlins: Predictions for First Round of the 2021 MLB Draft

As the calendar has officially turned to July 11, 2021, it’s officially Day 1 of the 2021 MLB Draft for the Miami Marlins.

The MLB Draft brings one of the most exciting times of the baseball season. Not only do you get the excitement of any normal draft in any sport, but you get to add numerous players to your organization over the course of three days.

No, this draft doesn’t take place on a field, and no, you can’t win a trophy or anything during the MLB Draft. What you can do however is set yourself up to succeed for years to come to give yourself a chance to go win a World Series.

Now when looking at the draft itself, obviously the pick that sticks out most is the first round selection. Not only is this pick arguably the most impactful, but it is also most likely the selection that your overall draft will be judged on when you look back in a year or two.

Who will the Miami Marlins select in the 2021 MLB Draft?
