I don't even know. I feel like montgomery emerges, or TA emerges, and have overcome so much adversity in this system to get their they were that special player who just hits their 100th percentile. But why this org fails is it can't turn guys like Sosa into anything remotely passable because they come up with average defense, they have no approach and are just eaten up and spit out as not good enough.

Liberty university’s next head coach

I know the man for the job

SEC is tough.

Park does have a Stephen kwan comp, and I do kinda like just getting an extremely well rounded and competent guy in the system. Especially at outfield.

The Pitchers and left handed bats draft

Doesn’t feel THAT long ago to me, he had a bit of a resurgence with 15 home runs in Kanny in 2019 but the pandemic happened and he was released when they came back.

I feel like Wolklow is gonna be like watching zangari a bit ( when he finally got healthy)

Oh hell yes. Gonna be fun.

props to mlb pipeline, that's some great video and write-up they have.

not in the BA500 (perhaps because of the draft and follow from oakland?) seems like a pretty big project still. Was drafted in the 11th last year as a high schooler from Oakland.

KC...has happened a lot this draft.

The non-Detmer Dettmer just went.

There's a lot of top 100 prep guys still out there, i'd imagine many get there. I'm kinda intrigued by Spencer Nivens.

I missed that Keith law was the high man on Seth Keener, at 97 just a few spots past Grant Taylor Scouting Report Bats: R, Throws: R Keener has bounced between the bullpen and the rotation for the Deacs, dominating George Mason in the regionals for his best outing of the season before a tough outing against LSU in Omaha. He’s 95-96 mph in relief and more 92-95 mph as a starter, but in either role he will show a 55 changeup and a 50-55 slider, missing bats with both pitches all season. It’s a rough delivery between a long arm action and very abrupt finish, but to his credit he throws a ton of strikes anyway, and I assume someone will send him out as a starter with bulk guy a more likely MLB role for him.

That review seems pretty fine to me? He is a fourth round pick. A left-handed catcher who has a compact stroke with real power but ground balls eat into it, and who is still developing as a catcher after sitting behind one of the top ones in baseball his first two years.

Maui Ahuna just went to San Fran, who definitely owns the most vicious scouting reports of the draft. Keith Law's: keep in mind he's still ranked a strong 63

brooks boyer losing his damn mind at a calvin harris/kaskade double header Harris showed impressive defensive skills out of high school, when he ranked as the No. 287 prospect in the 2020 class, but after making it to campus at Mississippi hasn’t been able to showcase his catching much at all. Royals second-rounder Hayden Dunhurst was the team’s primary catcher in 2021 and 2022, leaving Harris to catch in a part-time role and play the corner outfield. He moved into the everyday catching role in 2023 and hit above .300 for the second straight season, with a .321/.398/.579 slash line and a career-high 12 home runs. Harris has shown solid home run power from gap-to-gap and managed a 90 mph average exit velocity this spring. He will expand the zone a bit, but has solid overall contact skills, particularly against fastballs. Harris has a chance to be a solid receiver, with quiet and strong hands behind the plate. He does a nice job presenting balls on the edges of the strike zone, and employs a one-knee setup. He also has a strong and accurate arm—though he has previously had UCL surgery—that is much better than his 11.3% caught stealing rate (7-for-62) would suggest, with many runners stealing off pitchers who took their time to the plate. via ba

Drafting a guy who just had TJS and a guy who needs to be converted from a reliever don't sound like that.

Hunter Owen to Royals.

top prep talent is going to be expensive with NIL. I don't think hahn is doing anything here, I think it just is a sucky draft so far.

I'm glad I didn't spend too much time on this draft.

You would have passed on players like Alex Bregman then.

Bradfield doesn't fill a need?
