Gosswein is from Barrington HS. Does it easy and can spin the hell out of it with good feel for a change.  The strike zone moves around on him a bit but there is feel in there and he has an athletic delivery. Lots of upside with him. Great freakin pick.

    The fact that competetive balance picks exist is still ridiculous 

  • It's necessary now, man. Lets see what they do tomorrow. For example, if they pay a guy $150K tomorrow, it costs $25K against pool. If they did that today, it counts as $150K. There are reasons for do

  • Again, everyone taken in rounds 1-10 is signing or the team wouldn't select them

After the first two rounds it's like everyone is drafting european basketball players. If I recognize them, I like the pick. If I don't, I'm easily convinced one way or another.

Certainly have to like the upside Montgomery/Kath/Burke bring to the table. Worth punting a few rounds on cheapo seniors for.

That's what I'm here for!  He checks a lot of boxes. His command gets a little wobbly but I think he just needs to make a small adjustment and he's plenty athletic enough to do it.  He's going to be a fun one to follow.  

Handa is a real interesting pick considering the circumstances.

Tanner McDougal

Silverado HS, Las Vegas RHP

Notes:

Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 210 | B-T: R-R
Commit/Drafted: Oregon
Age At Draft: 18.3

BA Grade: 45 | Risk: Extreme
Fastball: 55 | Slider: 60 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 40

McDougal, whose father pitched in the minor leagues, isn’t as well known in draft prospect circles because he didn’t play in a lot of the big events, other than the 2020 Area Code Games, leading into his senior high school season. With a solid, projectable frame, McDougal is still very much an intriguing project with a very loose arm that delivers a fastball in the 92-94 mph range, touching 96 mph. His breaking ball, best labeled as a slurve, has a wide range of speeds and can be a plus pitch when he consistently delivers it at mid-80s slider speed. He slows his arm and doesn’t have a lot of feel for an 81-85 mph changeup. He has below-average command, in part because of a delivery with a head whack and plenty of moving parts, which could indicate a future as a bullpen arm, and he doesn’t work out of the windup much. McDougal is committed to Oregon.

Ranked 148 at BA.

shirley is clearly confident in their scouting:

Is he enough of an underslot for Kath?
