1. Gerrit Cole – Starting Pitcher 
2020 Draft Top-100 SP
The flame-throwing right-hander firmly implanted himself as one of the league’s premier pitchers in 2019. The change in home ballpark could actually be a welcome one for the UCLA product considering that in 2019, Minute Maid Park ranked as the seventh-most hitter-friendly environment in the league and Yankee Stadium ranked as second-most pitcher-friendly, per ESPN’s park factor metrics.
