I think they will go for the best players available and the top10 of the first round will be dominated by hitters which has been the standard for the last 4-5 years.

Generally teams now prefer hitters at the top of the draft because teams found out that hitting prospects are easier and safer to develope while pitchers get hurt all the time.

This is true for the very top hitters of course, the hitters with not so great tools won't have much leverage. But the most talented hitters with great tools and some present hitting ability will dominate the top of the draft again, in fact I think the top 2 rounds won't change all that much compared to a normal draft.
