June 5, 20196 yr Victor Torres. Another catcher but with upside. Gonna be 19 in the couple of months. From Puerto Rico. Edited June 5, 20196 yr by SoxAce
June 5, 20196 yr I like it. Plus speed, elite bat speed metrics, good arm strength and pop times. https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=394663
June 5, 20196 yr Brubaker. Wasn't that the name of the catcher in that awful baseball movie. Yes I'm going to punch myself in the face for knowing that.
June 5, 20196 yr Also listed as one of the top 5 players from PR in the draft. Here is the write up: Quote The teenage Torres might be one of the best defensive catchers overall in the Draft. Torres is known for his outstanding throwing ability, and he’s very athletic behind the plate. He’s made strides offensively and there is some upside to his game, but for now, Torres is known as defense-first player. But that could change as he grows and develops. Torres has committed to Northwest Florida State College. https://www.mlb.com/news/five-puerto-rican-players-to-watch-in-2019-mlb-draft
June 5, 20196 yr The Pirates took Jase Bowen. He's a fantasic athlete. I think he's going to Michigan St to play WR. White lightning.

June 5, 20196 yr 16 minutes ago, Sleepy Harold said: Have to like the Sox going after such a talented young defensive catcher at this point. Catching depth is very valuable and important in the organization.
June 5, 20196 yr Damnit, Dbacks got Avery Short. He was someone I targeted with our picks today. Apparently he is the most advanced HS pitcher in the draft. Indiana kid.
June 5, 20196 yr 5 minutes ago, fathom said: He’s talking about the catcher in Summer Catch Well damn, my bad @Harold's Leg Lift
June 5, 20196 yr Man I missed the first two picks. Anything on our 12th rounder? Also really glad we are talking about summer catch. I love movies where they need to show you how funny they are by constantly having the characters laughing at each others jokes a lot.

June 5, 20196 yr Sabouri just got drafted by the Mariners. Teammate of Vaughn. I saw him pitch a little bit and he has a NASTY slider.
June 5, 20196 yr Even with that giant pool it will be interesting to see if the D'Backs can sign him. They only took 2 college Sr's in the top 10 and Louisville commits want all the money.
