MLB Draft 2014: Results, Grades and Top Steals for Rounds 1-3

The first three rounds of the 2014 MLB Draft didn't go as planned.

And for some teams, that was in their favor. They managed to select prospects who were supposed to hear their name called long before they did.

RHP Sean Reid-Foley, Sandalwood HS

49th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays

MLB.com rated Reid-Foley as the 18th-best prospect in the entire draft class. Toronto has to be thrilled to have landed him where it did. Of course, it'll be praying he doesn't choose to instead attend Florida State.

Reid-Foley recorded an ERA of 0.64 and 120 strikeouts this season. He isn't the tallest pitcher at 6'2", 210 pounds, but he can throw 95 mph. And, as you can see, his slider is as strong as his fastball.

OF Monte Harrison, Lee's Summit West HS

50th overall by the Milwaukee Brewers

Harrison is an elite athlete. Ask Jeremy Crabtree of ESPN.

Harrison committed to Nebraska to play football as well as baseball. He isn't too bad at basketball either.

On the diamond, he hit .433 and 35 RBIs. The 6'4", 180-pounder can throw 97 mph, which comes in handy throwing home from deep center. ESPN's Keith Law (subscription required) rated Harrison the 17th-best prospect in the draft.

RHP Zech Lemond, Rice

86th overall by the San Diego Padres

Lemond likely didn't expect to be drafted later than he was in 2011 when the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him 50th overall. Law (subscription required) sure didn't. He had Lemond 36th on his big board. 

NBC's Derek Togerson also expects Lemond to have starter potential, which is phenomenal value for a third-round pick.

Lemond recorded an ERA of 1.34 this season. He also threw 52 strikeouts in 53.2 innings.

C Jakson Reetz, Norris HS

93rd overall by the Washington Nationals

MLB.com rated Reetz the 40th-best prospect in the draft class. That's an amazing bargain at No. 93. Reetz also committed to Nebraska, though, so he'll be difficult to sign having been drafted this late, but he's worth the risk. 

Reetz hit .486, eight home runs and 37 RBIs his senior season. He also played football and basketball like Harrison in high school, just not as well.
