NBL News: First-Year Player Draft

Monday, June 15th, 2020
Lost in all the hoopla of today's amateur draft are the young men who won't be going first, tenth or even fiftieth. Many of them will probably never make NBL rosters, but one and all will be spurred on by the possibility that someday they'll be playing on a championship club. Key West, Portland, Las Vegas, Hartford and Whitby will have the first five choices. BNN analysts report that these players are likely to be high picks in the 2020 draft:


1. Théo Meyer, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
