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 Milwaukee Brewers selected high school outfielder Trenton Clark with the 15th pick overall in the 2015 MLB Draft.
Clark, 18, is considered among the top prep bats in this year's class after leading Team USA to gold medal in last year's Pan American Championship by hitting .565 with three homers, 20 RBIs, and five steals in eight games.
The left-handed hitting Clark possesses solid speed and strong enough defensive skills to stick in center field at the pro level.

Overview
At the plate, Clark hits like a typical leadoff man - chokes up and slaps the ball with some pop. But from a mechanical standpoint, his swing is the definition of raw, as he begins with an open stance and closes himself off at times, though he's getting better.
In terms of his lower half, he's all arms with his swing, so when he begins to use his lower half with authority, Clark should drive the ball from gap to gap and utilize his speed on the basepaths.
The lefty-lefty outfielder runs his 60-yard dash in 6.84, pegging the glider at a 60 on the 80 scale. In the outfield he projects to be in left-field at best, as he's 76-78 miles per hour from the outfield, though he possesses great arm action that will make way for him to develop some carry on his throws. Given his speed, he should be able to grow into a center fielder as he ages.
