The three-day draft begins Sunday at 4 p.m. at Xbox Plaza with the first two rounds – 80 picks total, including Competitive Balance Rounds A and B. The Angels pick 13th, but the Dodgers don’t pick …
With a pair of exhibition games in the books, MLB’s All-Star Week festivities continue on Sunday when the inexact science that is the MLB draft takes over downtown Los Angeles.
For the uninitiated, the MLB draft also moves at a much quicker pace than those of the NFL and NBA. Teams get three minutes to make their first-round or compensatory picks , two minutes between Competitive Balance Round A picks , then the clock drops to one minute between selections 40-80. Many consider the best player available to be Georgia high school outfielder Druw Jones – son of former Atlanta Braves outfielder Andruw Jones, a 10-time Gold Glove winner. Several other players have MLB bloodlines, including Jackson Holliday , Justin Crawford and Cam Collier .
Rocker, 22, made five starts for the ValleyCats before being deactivated to prepare for the draft. He had a 1.35 ERA with 32 strikeouts and four walks and gave up 11 hits in 20 innings. His fastball was clocked as high as 99 mph and was consistently in that range during his stint with Tri-City to go along with a nasty curveball and slider.
