2022 MLB draft: Mock drafts, rankings, order and analysis

We're just a few weeks away from the 2022 MLB draft, which will take place July 17-19 in Los Angeles in conjunction with Major League Baseball's All-Star Game festivities.

The Baltimore Orioles have the No. 1 pick, followed by the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals. There is a more clear-cut choice for the top pick this year, with high school outfielder Druw Jones — the son of high-profile former big leaguer Andruw Jones — expected by many to come off the board first. Other top high school draft prospects include shortstop Jackson Holliday and second baseman Termarr Johnson.

The draft will consist of 20 rounds this year, just as it was last year — half the length of the 40-round edition last held in 2019.
