The 2026 MLB draft marks my 12th year covering the draft and writing detailed stories on the top prospects.
In my first 11 years, I interviewed 613 of the top draft prospects, 174 first-rounders, 27 of them were taken in the first five picks, including prep outfielder Mickey Moniak, prep shortstop Royce Lewis, college right-handed pitcher Casey Mize and college catcher Henry Davis, who each went No. 1 overall.
Many publications, including Baseball America, MLB.com and USA Today, have quoted my draft content. I also have made radio appearances as an “MLB draft expert” on major radio stations around the United States.
