The Oakland A's hold the fourth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft
The Oakland A's have the fourth overall selection in next month's MLB Draft, and that means that more and more outlets are releasing mock drafts. Two of those mocks in particular have the A's landing interesting college players, and both are first basemen., has Oakland snagging Florida first baseman and left-handed pitcher Jac Caglianone with their first pick. The 21-year-old has been an absolute monster with the bat this season, mashing 29 home runs in 212 at-bats while batting .
Every draft prospect is going to come with questions, but if you're the A's, the reason Caglianone is so appealing is because of the improved strikeout-to-walk numbers, and that raw power. We saw the A's take a contact bat that doesn't strike out with the number six pick in Jacob Wilson last season, and that skill has been something the organization has been targeting a bit more in recent years.
Kurtz, 21, battled a shoulder injury earlier in the season but has still hit .313 with a .538 on-base, 22 home runs, and 76 walks compared to 39 strikeouts. That approach is something that the Moneyball A's would have fallen in love with. He may not have the amount of raw power that Caglianone possesses, but it's still well above average, per Pipeline. They also say that he makes better swing decisions that either Caglianone or Charlie Condon, who is projected to go second overall.
