Could be three players taken in the first round of the MLB draft from the Jackson Metro Area.
Braden Montgomery - OF (Madison Central - Stanford- Texas A& M) likely a top 10 pick. Broken ankle shouldn’t hurt his stock. If he makes it to no 7 would be an interesting pick for St Louis. However, they are in desperate need of starting pitching especially a lefty so it would be tough for them to pass on Hagen Smith if available.
Konnor Griffin - (LSU signee - Jackson Prep) SS / CF
Scouts think he has the potential to be a 30/30 guy down the road. Mock drafts have him going anywhere from 8 to 15.
Dakota Jordan - OF. - (Jackson Academy - MSU). Struggled in post season play but teams love his raw power. One Mack draft has him going to the Yankees at 26.
