2018 MLB Mock Draft 2.0: Parker Meadows jumps into top 50

The NEWEST Mock Draft is out and here: 2018 Mock Draft 

With the 2018 MLB Draft slated to start June 4, just over two weeks to go, the 2018 MLB draft is set and ready — and Through The Fence Baseball has the goods. For Mock #2, it’s another quick Top 50 with the biggest risers and drops. A lot of mock drafts are still all over the place and we’ve determined to break the average. We’ve compiled mock drafts from the top insiders, combined with our own, to pump out mock #2. The Stock Riser and Stock Drop comes from previous preliminary reports of where they may land.

Stock Riser: Parker Meadows – OF out of Grayson HS in Georgia – Jumps 60 spots

Stock Drop: Nander De Sedas – SS out of Montverde Academy HS in Florida – Drops 22 spots
