Continuing our series of prospect profiles ahead of next month’s MLB Draft, we now head down to Texas. Catcher Blake Mitchell is the 13th-ranked<\/a> overall draft prospect on MLB.com’s list and the second-highest catcher. The only higher-ranked catcher is Kyle Teel of the Virginia Cavaliers, who is 11th overall. Mitchell, 18, is no stranger to winning. Out of Sinton High School in southeast Texas, he led his squad to a 4-A state title in his junior year, when he also took home state player of the year honors. Mitchell also won gold at the 18-and-under World Cup playing for the U.S. junior team, where he stood out as a pitcher, his other position. He is an LSU commit, but he will likely go early in this year’s draft. Here’s a closer look at what Blake Mitchell brings to the table.<\/p>\n
