Jan 16 2024
This first bullpen column takes a look at the last 30 days of NFBC Draft Champions (draft and hold) average draft position alongside BaseballHQ.com initial projections to help find the sweet spots for selection closers as well as some later-round relievers who could turn a profit if things break in their favor. We start with the top of the chart—closers taken as early as the second(!) round through the fourth round:
