Who will your team take in the 2024 Draft?https://t.co/QkMDhlQ7HF
One name in particular set to hear their name called early is Ryan Sloan. Plenty of mock drafts, podcasts and reports predict Sloan will be selected on day one, in round one. Though no one knows for certain, we wanted to corral some of the info out there and bring it to one spot.
We checked out a few outlets and gathered their predictions, which are listed below.
Outlet | Round | Selection | Team |
Bleacher Report | 1 | 15 | Seattle Mariners |
MLB.com | 1 | 25 | San Diego Padres |
Prep Baseball | 1 | 24 | Atlanta Braves |
Twins Daily | 1 | 23 | Los Angeles Dodgers |
Future Sox | 1 | 25 | San Diego Padres |
Pitcher List | 1 | 23 | Los Angeles Dodgers |
Here are some of the rumblings about Sloan via social media as of late:
While it’s always risky to consider a high school righthander a no-doubt first rounder, Ryan Sloan certainly has first round caliber talent.

With a fastball up to 100 mph, a high-spin slider and advanced changeup, it’s no surprise why.https://t.co/M0b4StT11q pic.twitter.com/0ZmYpg3qAe

RHP Ryan Sloan (York, 2024; Wake Forest) comes in at No. 24 in the most recent update to the @PBR_DraftHQ Mock Draft. We've seen his FB up 98 mph this spring with a wipeout SL.

Given that we are now 3 weeks from the MLB Draft here are my favorite options for the Phils at 27.
Prep-arms:
Ryan Sloan - heavy fastball, easy mechanics feel for 3 pitches
Joey Oakie - on the shorter side, but electric stuff. Fastball has heavy-ride up to 97.
Braylon…
