What happened: Colorado selected Kentucky shortstop Tyler Bell with the 10th overall pick. Bell was rated the top eligible sophomore prospect in the class. He is a switch hitter with projected power, runs well, and carries a good arm at short.

Why it matters: The pick adds a college bat to a system that's been retooling under the same front office turnaround that has Colorado on pace for 66 wins. Scouts view SEC hitters as more polished entering pro ball, which could shorten Bell's development runway relative to a prep prospect.

What to watch: Bell now begins his professional career in Colorado's farm system, with his climb through the minors set to test the fast-track projection scouts have attached to his SEC pedigree.
