Was there an update on this? Supposedly he said his arm was tight. If it was a UCL, I would think he would have described it differently.

 

I think it was on a podcast I listened to recently, but someone mentioned that "arm tightness" is pretty universally what pitchers begin to complain about when they eventually need Tommy John.

Certainly sounds like a torn ucl.

 

Rough, was certainly hoping this didn't happen because I still think it's ridiculous how the Astros treated the whole situation.

 

Hold on, I thought it was something about his back and not his arm?

I have no idea, I was just responding to the link where suddenly his velocity fell off a cliff. I have not seen follow-up reports.

Are there any catching prospects that might be a possibility worthy of our first round pick? It would be nice to have one of those.

nah, imo not this yr. may comp or comp A but nothing at #8.

This is an exceptionally light catching class. Chris Betts is a HS catcher and he's the only catcher I have heard of in this class.

 

Garrett Wolforth and Wyatt Cross are both wants.

 

Wolforth's dad is pitching guru, Ron Wolforth who runs the Texas Baseball Ranch. He is by far the youngest kid in the draft, add be was original slated to be draft eligible in 2016 (Where he was related add one of the top players), but he reclassified to 2015. Kiley McDaniel has his arm rated at 70 and says that he has an advanced feel at the plate (He's an switch hitter). He's 6'3 185lbs.

 

Wyatt Cross is a 6'3, 190lbs catcher or of Colorado, his contact skills might be lagging a bit but he has well above average bat speed, and huge power potential. Some scouts say that he is elite begone the plate.
