## Resource

The Oakland A’s, holding the eighth pick in the MLB draft, are poised to land another gem with a roster built on savvy, young talent. With stars like Nick Kurtz already proving their worth, the A’s are eyeing polished college hitters like Ryder Helfrick — a top-tier catcher with elite bat speed — despite minor flaws in his pitch recognition. Other names like Hacopian, Burress, Lebron, and pitchers Peterson and Flukey also loom as strong fits. With the top prospects likely gone, the A’s could make a surprising, impactful pick — and the draft’s unpredictability could work in their favor.
