The 2023 MLB Draft kicked off Sunday night. History was made at the top of the draft, with LSU teammates Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews going No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, to the Pirates and Nationals. 

With the 13th pick in the MLB draft, the Cubs selected Maryland shortstop Matt Shaw. CBS Sports says Shaw is one of several collegiate infielders likely to come off the board in the teens. He's a well-rounded player who walked more than he struck out this season while also setting new career-highs in home runs and stolen bases.

The determinant on when he goes will be his expected position. A few scouts have expressed to CBS Sports the belief that he should at least begin his career at shortstop, but there's a camp who believes his arm is too light for the left side. Even if Shaw ends up at second base, his collection of average or better offensive tools should make him appealing.

Two picks later, the White Sox with the 15th pick took Ole Miss shortstop Jacob Gonzalez. CBS Sports says Gonzalez entered the spring with an opportunity to kick and push his way into the top five. Instead, he'll have to settle for going later in Round 1.

Gonzalez is an established quantity, having faced high-level competition the last few years with Team USA and within the SEC. He should remain at shortstop, and he has the potential to boast an average or better stick despite an unusual swing. 

Not only did he walk more than he struck out in each of the past two seasons, he has above-average raw strength from the left side - though it tends to play more to the gaps than it does over the fence. 

Gonzalez's upside pales in comparison to the positions players ranked ahead of him, but he has a chance to be a solid player.

At 21, the Cardinals took Arizona outfielder Chase Davis. Davis wasn't ranked among the CBS top players in the spring on account of his woeful in-zone contact rate -- you have to be able to hit strikes to make it in the pros. He clearly recognized that flaw in his game and worked to level up. He succeeded, greatly improving his in-zone contact rate and reducing his overall strikeout rate from 22.8% to 14.8%. 

The rest of Davis' game required no tinkering. He has good strength (stemming from a swing that has and will continue to earn him comparisons to Carlos González) and a firm command over the strike zone. He's also athletic enough to profile as an above-average defender in right.

Mahomet-Seymour fireballer Blake Wolters, a projected first round pick, fell to the second round being selectd by the Royals with the 44th pick.

The White Sox took LSU right-hander Grant Taylor in the second round with the 51st overall pick. 

With a compensation second round pick, the Cubs took Arkansas right-hander Jaxon Wiggins with the 68th pick. 

The Cardinals did not have a second round pick. 

The three-day, 20-round selection process, held in Seattle to coincide with the MLB All-Star break, will continue Monday and conclude Tuesday.
