May 13, 20223 yr Saw Schultz for an inning tonight. Fastball is legit, was 92-96. Didn’t see much in terms of offspeed pitches. Gave up 3 runs but not a lot of contact.

May 14, 20223 yr I assume Rocker is trying to rebuild draft stock. Wasn't it a partially torn UCL that torpedoed things last time around? If pitches well, I wonder what kind of money he is looking for vs likely to get.
May 18, 20223 yr Author Schultz wasn't very good tonight in front of all the heat. He didn't have the life on his fastball or the snap on his slider and he was fighting his command. He may only have one more game left this spring then he'll probably throw private bullpens until the draft.
May 19, 20223 yr New Mayo mock. Has Holliday going 1.1 https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-2022-jackson-holliday-druw-jones?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Quote 26. White Sox: Sterlin Thompson, OF, Florida (No. 36) Thompson, with his left-handed swing and strong hit tool, may have surpassed his Gators teammate, Jud Fabian, on a lot of team’s boards.
May 19, 20223 yr Author I was told Holliday is the best player in the country and he's the only one of the HS bunch who can play SS. It's going to see what the O's do but I still think they're gonna underslot a college hitter.

May 19, 20223 yr From Law's mock. Quote 26. Chicago White Sox: Robby Snelling, LHP, McQueen HS, Reno Snelling just keeps getting better as the season goes on, with good stuff, a big frame, and enough present feel and command to make him look safer than other high school arms. The White Sox haven’t taken a high school pitcher in the first round in 18 years, although they also haven’t picked down here for a while, and they have taken and paid high school arms in rounds 2-4 in the last few drafts, including Jared Kelley, Matt Thompson, and Andrew Dalquist. Scouting report: “Snelling is a ‘now body’ kind of pitcher, meaning we’re not waiting on a lot of physical projection, with above-average stuff and a delivery that really works. He’s up to 94 mph and extends very well over his front side, and his breaking ball, which falls between a curve and a slider, can show plus'” Edited May 19, 20223 yr by DirtySox

May 25, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, Jack Parkman said: I think it would be cool if Schultz made it to them and they took him. Isn’t happening from what I’ve heard
May 25, 20223 yr Just now, fathom said: Isn’t happening from what I’ve heard Is he going earlier or are the Sox not on him?
May 26, 20223 yr Author They're definitely on him but it's going to be very difficult for them to sign him. If he's even available at 1-26 (which is doubtful) they can only offer him around $3M. At that number and Boras as his agent he would most likely go to Vandy where he'll dominate for two years and be a draft eligible sophomore then sign for $5M+.
May 26, 20223 yr Callis has a new mock. Picks 1 through 12 are hitters. This hasn't happened since 1965 aapparently. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-2022-historic-focus-on-offense?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Quote 26. White Sox: Robby Snelling, LHP, McQueen HS, Reno, Nev. (No. 16) This might be more of a floor for Snelling, who like his fellow prep southpaws Barriera and Ferris could slide into the mid-teens somewhere. The White Sox have shown a willingness to invest big money in high school arms in recent Drafts. No Schultz in the 1st or supplemental round BTW. Since he's being talked about.
