Something I noticed in v 13 is that the AI teams will make a run on a position during the draft. I have incorporated this into my drafting, slightly. If there is a 2B and a SP I am interested in, and there are only 10 SP and 30 2B left, I grab the SP. If there are 10 2B and 30 SP, I take the 2B man.
I BELIEVE that the AI calculates scarcity at a position as part of its draft algorithm. I see this in random debut drafts where the names are knowable. This isn't something I have looked out for in v14, specifically, because I assumed it would be the same. However, I will keep an eye out in my next draft.
This might have happened in your draft (you can check the log to see). There were fewer position players than normal and this scarcity caused them to be drafted earlier than if their was a more usual spread re your previous drafts pitcher/hitter split.
