Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff discuss the 2022 Draft Combine on this week's edition of the MLB Pipeline Podcast. As many of the top Draft-eligible players gather in San Diego to meet with teams and show off their tools, the guys breakdown who’s there and how to watch. Last year's No. 1 overall pick, Pittsburgh Pirates catching prospect Henry Davis, joins the pod to talk about the impact his participation in last year's Combine on him becoming the top pick. We take a look at this week's upcoming set of minor league games on MLB.TV and then cap it off with an answer to a mailbag question - in the form of a draft of the Draft class' top outfield prospects.
