July 19, 20223 yr wouldn't mind nabbing Kirschsieper out of U of I Some discussion on getting good defensive players who can hopefully learn to hit. Colby Shade out of Oregon may be that. Since it seems they are targeting power, Nolan Schubert as a flyer HS would be interesting. He's huge, yankees should probably go after him: HT: 6-6 | Wt: 210 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Oklahoma State Age At Draft: 18.1 Schubart is a physical, lefthanded hitting outfielder with significant power potential. Listed at 6-foot-6, 210 pounds, Schubart was one of the more impressive power bats at last summer’s Perfect Game National showcase. That power should continue to get louder as Schubart fully fills out a frame that has more room for strength, but it also comes with significant swing and miss. His bat path can get lengthy and while it is leveraged for power with uphill loft, it can get too steep at times as well. He’ll need to show power in-game, as he’s a definite corner outfield profile, with below-average running ability and average arm strength. Schubart is young for the class and could be a difficult sign away from Michigan.

The change is avg but it doesn't work well off his fastball so he gives up a lot of hard contact. The command is avg/above avg. See him on the right day and you could walk away thinking he's a back of the rotation starter but he doesn't have enough of those days because there's so little margin for error without an out pitch.

July 19, 20223 yr I'd love to know what these draftsa re like in the room. I can't remember a draft where our best pick of day 3 was round 11. Does negotiating not begin in earnest until the first round starts? It's so weird.
July 19, 20223 yr I like how at the start we were getting random guitar riffs when certain players were selected. Presumably it was for players that had video footage? It was like leveling up in Call of Duty.

July 19, 20223 yr Sox are drafting guys with quality mustaches. Burke is another one with a nice stache. Dylan Cease starting a trend here in this organization.
July 19, 20223 yr The Cubs took Mathew Peters. Dude throws 100 and may actually have more in the tank.
