The Boston Red Sox are in the middle of one of the hottest streaks of their season, as they've won their last five games, their last three series and they're coming off of a sweep against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre this week.
While the players and coaches will be focused on their games on the field, the front office is doing some work for the upcoming MLB draft which will start on Sunday, July 14.
Ahead of the event, ESPN's Kiley McDaniel released his most recent mock draft which has the Red Sox taking Tennessee second baseman Christian Moore with pick No. 12.
Here's what he had to say about the potential selection:
"There's been a lot of heat for Moore coming off the board with this pick during his rise throughout the end of the regular season into the college postseason. Boston seems to be in a similar spot to Detroit, hoping to grab one of the top 10 talents who happen to fall out of the top 10 picks, with a bias toward hitters with some power. Moore and Kurtz both fit that focus on hitters with power.
I think Boston is the floor for Griffin or Rainer should they fall. Trey Yesavage, Malcolm Moore and Tommy White are in consideration, but more outside looking in. Keep an eye on College of Charleston 1B Cole Mathis at Boston's second pick."
In 69 games this season, Moore has hit .385 with a 1.276 OPS, 33 home runs, 73 RBIs and four stolen bases. He also became the second player in college baseball history to hit for the cycle in the College World Series.
Moore and the Volunteers are set to take on Texas A&M in the College World Series championship starting June 22 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
