What's a normal return from a team's MLB Draft Class. How many hitters can you expect to see reach the majors? How many pitchers. Pramana Labs CEO Corey Patton and Baseball America's J.J. Cooper use the Shift tool to pull together the answers to these questions. They also look at great drafts and bad drafts of the 21st century.

It’s almost draft day, and with that Ben and Carlos are joined by Peter Flaherty for a joint draft/Future Projection episode where the team does their best to break down round one for each team in the game.

We go through every team in the first round and talk through their potential options for this year’s draft, talk through draft strategy, debate players, talk through team philosophies and much more.

Buckle up, this is a long one and will hopefully get you ready for draft day.
