He could have easily washed out at a low level of the minors if that had continued. That's what I said. Hansen high ceiling. They didn't go high floor in round 4; I presume he's high ceiling. FIU so they should be able to sign him. Edited June 5, 20187 yr by GreenSox

June 5, 20187 yr I can't believe this but...I love this entire draft so far. What's going on with this organization?

June 5, 20187 yr I'm fine with a boom or bust guy after going with possibly the safest player in the draft, another relatively safe player, and a seemingly safe but projectable player.

I'd hazard a guess most players tracked with that technology at this level are prospects of some sort. DIII to Juco to D1 and pro. That said, it's obvious he has some flaws in his game, hence the 4th round.

I like the direction that they have gone so far in the draft. 1) Madrigal - great pick, arguably best college position player in the NCAA. Plenty of upside, high floor 2) Walker - Enough upside to be a potential regular in the OF, solid contact skills and has shown some power. 3) Pilkington - Young college lefty that has shown flashes. Could have the ceiling of a backend innings eater. Adds left handed depth to the farm. 4) Delgado - Toolsy HS SS/3B, provides depth for our low minors and a quality raw project. Risks like this are important to take now and then.

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 45 Stiever wasn't a high-profile recruit as a Wisconsin high schooler in 2015, but has developed into Indiana's best pitching prospect since the Brewers made Eric Arnett a first-rounder in 2009. He became the Hoosiers' Friday-night starter as a sophomore, ranking 11th in NCAA Division I in walk rate (1.1 per nine innings) and 14th in K/BB ratio (6.3), and has been even more effective, if not quite as precise, this spring. Stiever usually sits in the low 90s with his fastball, which peaks at 96 mph and plays above its velocity thanks to its run, sink and plane. He has advanced feel for an upper-70s spike curveball, which he'll turn into a harder slider on occasion. His changeup works as well, serving as at least an average third pitch to keep left-handers in check. Though Stiever is a little smaller than desired for a starter at 6-foot-1, there are no concerns about his ability to stay in the rotation. The athleticism that helped him earn Wisconsin all-state recognition as both a wide receiver and defensive back translates to the mound, as he generates quality strikes and maintains his stuff deep into games. He also earns praise for his competitiveness.
