There have been a lot of new mock drafts released over the past two or three days. I have rounded up sixteen of them to study, in order to see who the Rangers could take at number 12 in the first round. Once again, the only consistent theme in these mock drafts is that most of those creating them believe the Rangers want a shortstop, and most likely a high school shortstop.

## Latest Mock Draft Results for the Rangers in the First Round

**Baseball America - Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Oklahoma**

**MLB Pipeline – Daniel Pierce, SS, Mill Creek High School (Georgia)**

**Keith Law – Kayson Cunningham, SS, Johnson High School, San Antonio, (Texas)**

**Prep Baseball Report - JoJo Parker, SS, Purvis High School (Mississippi)**

Much to my disappointment, not one of these recent mocks have the Rangers selecting Ike Irish. I am still holding out hope though, because once you get past the top seven or eight picks, almost anything can happen. If the Rangers can not select Irish, then Kyson Witherspoon or JoJo Parker would both be very good picks. I think after those three prospects I would favor them picking Brendan Summerhill, the college outfielder from Oklahoma.

Of the sixteen mock drafts that I looked over, there were two names that showed up on three different lists. The two prospects who were mocked to the Rangers three times are Brendan Summerhill and Kayson Cunningham. Shortstops, JoJo Parker, Daniel Pierce and Marek Houston were each mocked to the Rangers twice in these latest mock drafts.

## Who Will Not Be There For The Rangers

After studying a lot of mock drafts and draft boards it has become easy to see that there are some players who almost certainly will be selected before the Rangers pick at number 12\. The players who are in this category are:

**Ethan Holliday, 2B/SS Stillwater HS, Oklahoma**

**Kade Anderson, LHP, LSU**

**Eli Willits, SS, Fort Cobb-Broxton HS, Oklahoma**

**Seth Hernandez, RHP, Corona HS, California**

**Liam Doyle, LHP, Tennessee**

**Aiva Arquette, SS, Oregon State**

**Billy Carlson, SS, Corona HS, California**

**Jamie Arnold, LHP, Florida State**

## Who Could Be There For The Rangers

After those eight players, there are ten other draft prospects who seem to be in the "available to the Rangers" category, or at least have been considered by some as potential picks for the Rangers in the first round. More than likely, the Rangers will pick one of these ten players. The ten prospects are:

I**ke Irish, C/OF, Auburn**

**Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Oklahoma**

**JoJo Parker, SS, Purvis HS, Mississippi**

**Brendan Summerhill, OF, Arizona**

T**yler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara**

**Kayson Cunningham, SS/2B, Johnson High School, Texas**

**Gage Wood, RHP, Arkansas**

**Daniel Pierce, SS, Mill Creek High School, Georgia**

**Marek Houston, SS, Wake Forest**

**Steele Hall, SS, Hewitt-Trussville High School, Alabama**

## Who Should the Rangers Select in the first round

I ordered the ten players listed above in the order that I would like to see the Rangers select them. To me, Ike Irish stand alone at the to of this list. That is probably why he won’t be available.

The next tier, for me, consists of Kyson Witherspoon and JoJo Parker. After that, I think Summerhill, Bremner, and Cunningham make up the third tier. If Xavier Neyens had shown up in any of these mock drafts, I would have placed him in that same tier, just below Summerhill. Then Gage Wood is in the next rung down, for me.

Just one more day and we will all find out.
