2019 Tenth Man Out Mock Draft

Kirby Yates (SD - RP)
Draft: While no team is without flaws, Tenth Man Out doesn't have many leading to old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".  This mindset leads on to believe that the team will adopt the best player available or the player that allows it to remain status quo. Veteran major league ready pitching is likely the avenue taken here with arms like Ross Stripling (LAD - SP), Yusei Kikuchi (Sea - SP), Nathan Eovaldi (NYY - SP) and Rich Hill (LAD - SP) all potential picks here. 

Prediction:
RD 1: Ross Stripling (LAD - SP) - See above
RD 2: Luis Urias (SD - 2B) - Would be an excellent rich get richer pick
RD 3: Michael Pineda (Min - SP) - Just a few years ago he was untouchable
RD 4: Travis Swaggerty (Pit - OF) - Scrappy with guile, will produce with time
RD 5: Corbin Burnes (Mil - SP) - Many predict big things if given full year as starter
Rd 6: Nick Pivetta (Phi - SP) - Rule-5 Draftee
Prospect Draft:

RD 1: Kevin Alcantara (NYY - OF) - Big time international bonus baby with lofty tools
RD 2: Ryley Widell (Min - SP) - Nice projectable frame with nice K rates

RD 3: Sherten Apostel (Tex - 3B) -  Not talked about bat with room to grow
