2018 MLB Draft Grades: Results and Scores for Each Team Before Wednesday

Steve SilvermanJun 6, 2018

The biggest names and the brightest prospects were selected during the first two rounds of the MLB draft Monday, and the talent level was also impressive on the second day of the selection meeting as well.

The league's 30 teams selected players in Rounds 3 through 10, and while many of these players will need two years or more of minor-league seasoning to develop their talent, the sharpest teams have found players who can play important roles in the future.

Kody Clemens, the son of pitching legend Roger Clemens, was selected in the third round by the Detroit Tigers.

Knight had a 10-0 record for the Razorbacks this season along with a 2.78 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 95.1 innings. 

Knight is a 6'3", 165-pound pitcher, and he should be able to add more power as he adds weight and gets stronger in the future.

SS Terrin Vavra, Colorado Rockies

Vavra has been an impact player for the Minnesota Golden Gophers this season, and the Rockies will be hoping he can continue to develop as an impact player.

Vavra has a .393 batting average with 10 home runs and 59 RBI, and he has struck out just 19 times in 214 at bats.

C Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners

Raleigh is a switch-hitting catcher from Florida State, and he has the size and strength at 6'3" and 205 pounds to become a durable backstop.

Raleigh has had an outstanding year with the bat, hitting .326 with 13 home runs and 54 RBI. He also has an on-base percentage of .447, as he has received 51 walks this season.
