June 5, 20196 yr https://www.streakingthelawn.com/2019/2/13/18222102/virginia-baseball-preview-hitting-defense-cam-simmons-tanner-morris This is interesting. He had a great junior year but was injured, drafted 15th round and came back. He hurt his shoulder, so maybe if he gets healthy he could be something interesting.

June 5, 20196 yr 7 minutes ago, bmags said: Chipola is like a really good CC right (for baseball) Yeah, plenty of guys get drafted out of there. Between Chipola and U. Tampa, the White Sox tend to get a guy from one of those schools damn near every year.
June 5, 20196 yr So, just to figure this out. 2017 - All ACC awesome soph year 2018 - misses entire year due to shoulder injury 2019 - regresses a lot. Maybe he can heal up and get the virginia beaten out of him.
June 5, 20196 yr https://baseballdraftreport.com/tag/cameron-simmons/ "Injuries are the worst. OF/RHP Cameron Simmons was poised for a fantastic draft season, but a serious shoulder injury will wipe away his entire junior year. How big a blow is this to the top of this June’s draft? Those who have seen Simmons more than I have were adamant that he was ready to flip his 23 BB/40 K from last season all the way around as a junior. An athlete like Simmons who can run, throw, and hit for power with a cleaned up approach at the plate? That’s a potential first round sleeper. Alas, we’ll either have to wait a year for him to try it all again or see if a team that has really done its homework can draft him in a spot high enough to buy him out of those last two years of collegiate eligibility."

June 5, 20196 yr I would love with all these low risk picks we are nabbing up, we still go crazy and try for Osmond or Spencer Jones.
June 5, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, bmags said: Uh, another one with no BA scouting report. His K : BB rates would be decent if he was a hitter but alas he is just a bad pitcher. Kid has crazy good stuff for this late, just no idea where its going.

June 5, 20196 yr Logan Glass, from PBR: Quote A physically impressive 6-foot-4, 202-pound lean and athletic frame with strength. Offensively, the right-handed hitter bats from a relaxed, upright, and open stance with low set hands and some rhythm throughout. Uses a huge leg kick, moderate stride, and arm bar load before launching his hands on a flat path through extension with bat speed and strength. In BP, shows a flat and middle of the field approach, hitting line drives to the fence, some barrels, 96 mph exit velo. Runs a 6.65 60. Defensively, shows clean confident and athletic actions with excellent closing speed and charges the ball well. Throws with a full arm stroke through a high-¾ slot with elite arm speed and carry, shows some accuracy at 100 mph from the outfield.
