Rex Hudler is truly unlistenable.

For those asking about the prep demographic in this class.
2024 MLB Draft Class Could Be Among Weakest Ever For High Schoolers

Also here's a Sloan report.
Quote94. Ryan Sloan
RHPHt: 6'4" | Wt: 220 | B-T: R-R
Age: null
School: York HS, Elmhurst, Ill. Commit/Drafted: Wake Forest
Age At Draft: 18.5
Sloan is a large righthander with a 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame and a reliable three-pitch mix. His fastball has trended up and he now sits in the 90-94 mph range and touches 96 from a slot that varies from three-quarters to a lower three-quarters angle. In addition to his fastball, Sloan has a low-80s slider with sweeping shape and spin rates in the 2,500-2,600 rpm range and an 84-87 mph changeup that is a swing-and-miss offering against lefthanders. Sloan could improve his delivery and command, but his three-pitch mix is advanced for his age. He is committed to Wake Forest.

17 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:
I love this. Almost forgot he existed. One exciting thing to watch in the rotation.
He's looked electric this spring.

BA Mock 1.0. I'd be elated to get Smith. Top of the class has plenty of fine options for picking #5. I also wouldn't mind Montgomery in this spot.
Quote5. White Sox — Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas
Like Burns, Smith has come out of the gate strong this spring. He put together one of the best outings of the season in a week two effort against Oregon State where he struck out 17 batters in six shutout innings. Through five starts and 23 innings he has a 1.57 ERA with a silly 58.8% strikeout rate and 9.4% walk rate. He looks stronger and the delivery looks a bit cleaner in 2024. His fastball velocity is up three ticks to 96 mph on average, while his mid-80s slider has been a consistently plus weapon that likely earns some 70 grades. Smith has unique arm talent from the left side that currently puts him near the top of the draft board and a candidate to be the first pitcher selected.

Braden takes Cags deep.

Burns sure is high energy. Marches around tons, talks to himself, K struts. I love it. He also works very fast.

Edit. Wrong thread.

Burns pitching against a very good Virginia team. Strikes out the side on 12 pitches in the first.

2. I think Getz would love for Smith or Burns to be there at 5. if not I think they go Rainer.
I'm perfectly fine with any of those options.

I’d be fine with Condon or Kurtz but they should take whoever the best bat is.
You must really believe in Kurtz's bat. That's one profile I want the Sox to stay far away from and I think they will.

Kurtz hurt himself last night and it sounds like he's out the weekend.

God Skenes is nasty.

Cough.

You understand this stuff. You watch the players. How do you feel about them?
I actually haven't watched either of them this season. I think I'm too scarred by the last college 2B the Sox took early. They just don't seem like high impact players and I would prefer other options currently.
-
Is Wetherholt hurt still?

Kurtz and Sirota are having disappointing seasons, aren’t they? If the top 4 are Condon, Burns, Cags and Smith, who’s your guy at 5?
Montgomery, maybe Brecht, and whatever prep bat Shirley is into. Which might be Rainer?
Someone tell me how to feel about Bazanna/Wetherholt.
-
So it sounds like we should start to pay attention to Rainer with the White Sox is what I'm gathering.
-
I like the deal plenty. Thorpe is just about a top 50 prospect, Zavala has a great profile, and I like what I'm reading about Iciarte. I could see him making a big jump. This is a pretty significant injection into the farm system. Let's see what we can do with them.
