Also wonder if this pick was traded more frequently at the deadline by a team pushing to get in and therefore it's the second pick of a team that already picked a couple of times...again making it more likely to be a home run swing.

Are you referring to the 15th pick anomaly? The author had no idea but your logic is interesting.
Although, in the grand scheme of things, it could also have no cause at all, simply be fluke bad luck for teams picking at that spot for internal reasons with no correlation with previous or future teams.
One could perhaps prove/disprove your second ideal fairly easily by correlating the number of times the pic was traded and therefore a 2nd pic, vs games played.
