Latest Fangraphs mock has Texas going bat

2019 MLB Draft: A mock from Fangraphs is out, and while they will have another update tonight, their current mock has the Texas Rangers selecting Texas Tech third baseman Josh Jung at #8, saying he’s expected to ask for slot or a little below.

Jung has been rumored as being a Rangers target for a while, and Baseball America’s updated mock from last night had the Rangers going with Jung as well, although Keith Law’s latest mock draft has Alek Manoah going to the Rangers at #8.

We will know in about 10 hours or so what direction Texas will go. In the meantime, you can read our write-up on Jung here.
