My first ever mock draft with the overall ranking function...

I am not a big fan of the "projections" from mockdraftcentral.com because they give one the opportunity for false bravado. They don't mean assured success.
But, I can't help but present this projection, as it was my first mock draft using PLAYERtrack's overall ranking draft tool.
I went in with a strategy of making my next pick one of the top 10 available players on my overall listing (unless I had filled the positions already).
This was an ESPN-style draft, ten teams, with one catcher, three reserves, and 25 rounds. I had the second pick.

PREMIUM PLAYERtrack users (Draft Kit, Pay As You Play, and Season Pass purchasers) will have access to the custom overall rankings. All others only get the top 100 standard 5x5 hitters and pitchers.

Last night, Fantasy Baseball Trade Market did a draw for the pick order, and I blessedly get the third pick in the Premiere League (last league listed).
Anatomy of a "lucky season" for a pitcher: using LOB% (strand rate) and BABIP

The Giants signed (again) Todd Wellemeyer off of the free agent market today.
As a result, I needed to update the player profile, and at the same time, I found a great example of why you should pay attention to strand rate and BABIP when determining whether a pitcher is the "real deal" or not.
