1981 MLB Draft
The top draftee is Vasyl Khan, this and last year's Phoenix Amoss MVP award winner in the NCAA for Maryland. He was originally born in Ukraine and will look to break Mykola Taraduda's MLB record 19.9 WAR from the country. Khaaaan has solid defensive skills in both the infield and outfield and has solid potential with the bat as well, though nothing in particular stands out as an elite skill.

The first pitcher off the board was Joel Calzada, a Cuban-born player drafted out of Pepperdine. He has an elite fastball and a near guarantee of four solid pitches. He will need to improve his control before breaking into the big leagues.

The first high schooler drafted was another shortstop - Khalid Jackson - out of Port St Lucie. He has no power potential but could be an elite defender with an average bat.
