I think it's just a natural re-adjustment to the previous 8 rounds. Very few pitchers were taken early and the hitting/pitching splits for the roster aren't quite 50/50 (12:9) but close enough that the average was around 6 hitters and 2 pitchers deep after 8 so there's going to be some catching up.
