Board relevant:

1. White Sox: Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA (No. 1)
Mayo: "Very, very good player. Super-high floor. Has played shortstop for a long time. Strong track record at UCLA."

13. Cardinals: Jared Grindlinger, LHP/OF, Huntington Beach (CA) HS (No. 18)
Mayo: "I know that they like him. I think they prefer him as a hitter. I’m breaking the mini run here of college hitters with the Cardinals taking the reclassified two-way player."

18. Reds: Cameron Flukey, RHP, Coastal Carolina (No. 11)
Callis: "I think he was our top-rated college pitcher coming into the year, but he missed two months with a stress fracture in his rib.

"They could go in a lot of different directions ... but I'm going to have them look at this and say, 'Hey how did Flukey get to us at 18?'"

21. Padres: Cole Prosek, 3B/C, Magnolia Heights (MS) HS (No. 33)
Mayo: "The inclination always with the Padres is to give them the highest-upside high school player. ... So, I’m going to stick with high school players. Prosek is versatile. He can really hit."

23. Cubs: Daniel Jackson, C, Georgia (No. 39)
Mayo: "I think we both think that he should win the Golden Spikes Award. This is a catcher who had 32 homers and stole 26 bags for a very good Georgia team that made it to Omaha."

27. Mets: Aiden Robbins, OF, Texas (No. 30)
Callis: "He won the Cape Cod League batting title last summer. He hit for a lot more power this spring after transferring to Texas and facing SEC competition."
