MLB Draft Talk

Hope everyone is enjoying Opening Weekend! I'm excited to share my 2020 MLB Mock Draft: Opening Weekend Edition. Enjoy! docs.google.com/document/d/1G2…

You want a crush job? Watch this. Ian Moller is the one of the best players in this draft for a reason. He cranks this inside FB from Rocco Reid for a no doubt bomb. Just watch this swing.

Shane Panzini is one fun arm. FB sat 93-95 throughout, with a power SL that sat 78-82 with great movement. There was a CH at 88 too. This sequence to Charlie Saum was nasty.

Malakhi Knight just unloaded on this pitch and sent it over the LF fence off Ty Sexton. Smooth swing and he's looked good this weekend.

Joshua Baez with the opposite bomb at @ACBaseballGames

Good look at some pregame work from the top prep SS for the ‘21 #MLBDraft Jordan Lawlar (TX) defending pregame. Effortless athleticism w/ big arm strength. Confident aura pervades. Crisp attention to detail. #MLBDraft @NathanRode @PBR_Texas

Chase Petty came out guns blazing today. In the 1st, 95-100 FB, 89 CH, saw a SL but couldn't get velo. Little wild, but did garner a couple of strikeouts, including one of Brady House.

@cookiedabookie9 I liked him but wasn’t overly bullish. I’ll admit he advanced through the minors faster than I thought he would. All credit to him

@MLBDraftTalk He was my favorite draft prospect that year, not surprised at all. I ranked him fifth, higher than anyone else iirc.

It’s so awesome to see Jo Adell make his debut tonight. It was only three years ago where there were concerns about his feel to hit and his arm. Now he’s the first prep bat in his class to reach the majors. Hope this is the start of a long and successful career for him!

@FlaSmitty For sure. The ultimate all star game lol

@MLBDraftTalk Well that would be loads of fun lol

With the Perfect Game All American selection show starting in 45 minutes, here's my predictions for the rosters #MLBDraft

@mason_mcrae I could see him sneaking on there

A thread of recent video on top-3 round types I've collected on the 2021 draft prep class: Earlier this week, SoCal SS Cody Schrier (UCLA commit) took some healthy cuts in his first AB, so I went down the side for his next AB and you'll want to turn the sound up @codyschrier5

Does House ever take a break hitting?

2021 Jordan Lawler (TX) with the no doubt 💣. His second of the day as he is making a strong case for top prospect in the 2021 class so far at #WWBA17u National Championship following up a standout showing at #PGNational #1 @Texas_PG

Chase Petty (2021 NJ) sitting 97-98, touched 100 once, just humming along here. Stupid fast arm with a hammer slider too. #WWBA17u

It’s official. Shoutout to @maddelucchi for having this a month ago

2021 @USC_Baseball commit @Marcelo_Mayer10 made a case for himself as the top HS prospect in his class with a great showing at our @BaseballFactory West Showcase. Here he is showing the smooth actions that will allow him to stick at SS. Huge ceiling! @ASB_titan @sdshowbaseball

Big game from @DTigerBaseball Hernandez’s Jordan Lawlar (@jordanlawlar11) who cranked a home run and a double in a win. #FiveToolHitting #FiveToolPower Jesuit (TX) 2021 • @VandyBoys commit @followaabc #DonMattinglyWS

I LOVE that 8 first rounders got overslot deals this year (as opposed to only 2 last year): - They're paid below market value under the slot system - Slot values would've been higher under normal circumstances (I'd say by ~4%) Mitchell will sign very soon and could make it 9

Where are the Giants draft signing bonuses?
