I watched about half the first round. Manfred is cringey at the podium trying to wait out the boos or manipulate the crowd's response. MLB should have had Griffy Jr just announce the picks or a fan from each team.
I like they did the draft live at the All-star game location, but next time don't have it at a football stadium that's 1/3 full. It made the draft feel small, they also need to be sure to have the top prospects there in person.

I know Skene said in Omaha he wasn't going to the draft because he'd rather celebrate with his family and friends that have been there since day 1 instead of a bunch of strangers...

Yea, I get that, But I'm sure MLB could afford to get 10-20 of his family members to Seattle for the draft party. If MLB wants to grow new young stars they have to get the top prospects in front of the camera live and in person as much as possible. I think of the top 10 picks only two or three were in Seattle, not a good look for a live draft. What makes the NFL draft a must watch is that all the top players are there in person and the fans get to see them from day one.

You'd think that a league without salary caps would spare no expense for the top guys.

Lol they said towards end of the clip Blake's younger brother who looks like a offensive lineman in NFL. Clay Mitchell started last season as a Freshman on offensive line looking forward to him dominating his sophomore year.
