Here is the first attempt at guessing who will be taken in the first round of the 2024 MLB Draft.

The first mock draft is loaded with players from preseason No. 1 Wake Forest baseball with five players off the board in the first 30 picks, including three starting pitchers. 

The first two picks are contrary to the Top 100 prospect list after the first month of play is in the books. Florida Baseball star and Georgia Baseball standout Jac Caglianone and Charlie Condon have ascended the draft boards, and will likely be further up the prospect lists as the season progresses.
