​The MLB Draft is looming, with less than 48 hours to go, and a wave of speculation swirling around who the Colorado Rockies might select with the 10th overall pick. We asked for your best guess among four options: RHP Liam Peterson from Florida, RHP Cameron Flukey from Coastal Carolina, C Vahn Lackey from Georgia Tech, or C Ryder Helfrick from Arkansas. Among the choices presented, Peterson emerged as the most popular pick. Yet, a large portion of fans and followers believe the Rockies could surprise everyone and choose someone entirely different.
Several alternative names have circulated in the chatter surrounding the Rockies’ first-day strategy. Fans suggested options such as LHP Hunter Dietz from Arkansas, SS Tyler Bell from Kentucky, OF Derek Curiel from Louisiana State, LHP Mason Edwards from Southern California, OF AJ Gracia from Virginia, OF Drew Burress from Georgia Tech, and LHP Carson Bolemon from Southside Christian. The discussion doesn’t stop at the 10th pick; Colorado also holds selections at No. 37 and No. 38 on the opening day of the draft, amplifying the anticipation and the possibilities.
