MLB Draft Preview: 2014

Compiled By: DP Staff – June 5, 2014 The workouts have concluded, the notes have been made, scouting miles have been logged and final organizational meetings have been had… and now it’s finally draft time! As we mosey around South Carolina throughout the calendar, we are often asked to make predictions on the upcoming draft, who will be taken, which round will they go in, who is most signable, etc. We’ve asked a few questions of our own to some ‘bigwigs’ and threw in our two cents as well. But this year is a different animal altogether… Check out the drastically new draft rules from year’s past: 2014 Draft / Slotted Signing Bonus The entire process has always been a crapshoot, even for those making the final decisions so we aren’t going to take a stab at which round, but below is what we did come up with regards to who has a chance to be drafted this week. Admittedly, every single scout that we spoke with said we would learn alot from this draft to be a little more bold with our prognostication in future years. Our crystal ball comes with far less confidence than past years, with only one sure thing, but here it is: -Palmetto State Players Receiving Pro Interest this Spring- Name High School Position Signed  *Grant Holmes  Conway   RHP   Florida   *Madison Stokes  AC Flora   SS   South Carolina   KJ Bryant  Wade Hampton   OF   Clemson   Clark Scolamiero  Greenville   OF/LHP   South Carolina   Charlie Barnes  Sumter   LHP   Clemson   Drew Ellis  Blythewood  1B/RHP   Citadel   Ke’Shaun Samuel  Darlington   SS/RHP   Sptg Methodist   Henry Davis  Darlington   SS/OF   Appalachian State   Justin Hawkins  Mid-Carolina   3B   USC Sumter   Shy Phillips  Hartsville   OF   Citadel   Connor Pate  Marlboro Co.  RHP  Coastal Carolina  Adam Renwick  Dorman  INF  Clemson *Selected in 2014 Draft
