What if your favorite team had a future Hall of Famer in their grasp and let him slip away? The MLB Draft is a high-stakes gamble where a single pick can define a franchise for a decade—or haunt it forever. Every year, scouting reports, analytics, and gut feelings collide to predict the next big superstar. But what happens when they get it spectacularly wrong?
In this episode of That's So Zen, we're diving into the dramatic world of draft-day what-ifs. We'll uncover the stories of five prospects who were massively underrated, overlooked, or outright dismissed, only to become legends of the game. You'll hear the original scouting reports, discover why teams passed on them, and relive their incredible journeys from underdog to icon.
Join us as we explore the fine line between genius and regret in the MLB front office. Could your team have been a dynasty if not for one fateful decision?
