Rockies select high school third baseman Tyler Nevin with 38th pick overall

Look back at every pick from Day 1 of the MLB Draft with theScore's MLB Draft Tracker, which includes trades and rumors from around the league.

The Colorado Rockies have selected Tyler Nevin with the 38th overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft.

Nevin is a good pick for the Rockies, given the fact he has an electric bat from the right side. A 50 rating for both power and overall hitting, he's definitely performed well enough in his senior year to be selected in the first round.

Despite being a below-average base runner, Nevin's skills play up because of his plus makeup, something that will go into consideration because he's committed to UCLA.
