This year's draft was shortened from 40 rounds to five for budgetary reasons, according to the Associated Press, while the regular season itself is delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Day 2 Prospects to Watch
Texas Tech RHP Clayton Beeter
After an emphasis on hitting early in the opening round, it only seems right a run on pitchers will unfold to start Day 2.
And it doesn't get much better than Clayton Beeter out of Texas Tech.
Beeter registered 41.2 innings pitched over two seasons and fanned 73 batters in the process with an ERA of 2.81. He's got a Tommy John surgery on his resume too, but his return from that injury clearly makes it an afterthought when it comes to draft stock.
Besides a live arm, Texas Tech made sure to use Beeter in critical situations. The allure of his upside as a starter in a rotation is great, though his short resume speaks to immense upside as a situational arm too.
Refugio HS (Texas) RHP Jared Kelley
A good fastball and a nice changeup are the name of the game for Jared Kelley out of Refugio High School in Texas.
Kelley, 6'3" and 215 pounds, looks pro-ready as it gets and his shortened 2020 season was still incredible. According to MLB.com's Manny Randhawa, Kelley got in 12 innings and registered 34 strikeouts over 36 outs.
The broader resume and context is important too:
With incredible measurables, a good set of pitches and the allure of upside alongside the efficient production, it's a bit of a wonder Kelley didn't go Round 1.
The team lucky enough to nab him on Day 2 won't complain.
Georgia RHP Cole Wilcox
Wilcox has remained steady ever since garnering national hype as a prep star back in 2018.
At the NCAA level, Wilcox went 6-2 with 82.2 innings of work, registering a 3.38 ERA with 96 strikeouts. Considering one of his pro comparisons even back in 2018 was Gerrit Cole, it's not hard to see why teams are encouraged he's at least remained steady.
Owner of a high-90s fastball and a strong slider, Wilcox had enough a few years back to be selected in the 37th round by the Washington Nationals. Fast forward to present day, he had borderline first-round hype and shouldn't have to go long before hearing his name called on Day 2.
