The 2024 MLB Draft class is already having a major impact on the 2026 baseball season. With seven of the first nine picks in the draft already debuting and contributing to their clubs' success, there's a real possibility that the Class of '24 could go down as one of the best ever. The question now is: If we re-drafted today, who would go No. 1? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman examine the top 20 picks from the now-infamous 2024 draft and conduct a re-draft based on the recent performances of those players. Would the Cleveland Guardians still take Travis Bazzana No. 1 overall, or would they now prefer Sacramento A's slugger Nick Kurtz or St. Louis Cardinals shortstop JJ Wetherholt? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss Rafael Devers not exactly being thrilled with San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello after being pinch-run for, and whether he has a legitimate gripe with the move. They then talk about Bryce Harper's controversial triple that earned him the first cycle of his career for the Philadelphia Phillies, the Detroit Tigers' make-or-break stretch in the postseason race and recap all the other series from the past weekend. 1:31 – The Opener: 2024 MLB Draft Re-Draft 35:48 – How Sweep It Is: Devers Is Not Happy 53:03 – Tigers' Make-or-Break Stretch 55:53 – We Need To Talk About: Harper's Cycle 1:02:55 – Turbo Mode: Weekend Recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
