Lots to like in profile of Basic (NV) OF Andruw Giles ('26). Quiet setup and sound approach with ample bat speed from the left side. Plays w/ hair on fire on defense, AA arm. Good athlete capable of CF long term. Plenty of scouting eyes on the @OregonBaseball commit. #MLBDraft

More from a loaded Basic (NV) team, IF Matthew Kelley ('26) impressed. Lean w/lots of projection left on the frame. Played 3B for the Wolves, + arm and athletic enough to play anywhere on the field. Excellent run times & young for the class. 📈 @AggieBaseball commit. #MLBDraft

Another yr, another draft-eligible Southisene. This time, it's Troy ('26) making an impact up the middle for Basic (NV). Instincts on defense and competitor mentality are readily apparent & has a knack for finding the barrel at the plate. Current @BeaverBaseball commit. #MLBDraft

A great time at the @TheBorasClassic this week. Accomodations for scouts remain second-to-none, especially when the temps hit triple-digits before I even get one on my radar gun. #MLBDraft

Loved chatting it up with one of the best catchers in the country. Energy, leadership are off the charts and a no-brainer first round talent in my eyes. #MLBDraft

You will not find a better impression on Earth than this one right here.

This week's MLB Draft Notebook is a bit late, but life happens. I cover the dynamic Becker-Gracia duo and a trio of fun underclass prospects to keep an eye on throughout the next couple of cycles. Link: justbaseball.com/college-baseba…

Hello from (windy) Winston-Salem! Going to be sitting in on Wake Forest's series against Florida State this weekend to get a ton of draft talent. Blake Morningstar and Wes Mendes will be the pitching matchup tonight. Excited is an understatement!

Gave out my first 20 hit tool grade of the spring (it was me)

.@AstonMartinF1 get this man on the phone ASAP

Projectable frame but he'll have to cut down on the wing and miss

Talked about Bruins outfielder Will Gasparino on the pod before the season and now he's leading the entire dang world in home runs. Fun player and athlete with massive raw power who's found his stride out in Westwood.

Oh. My. God. T9, 2 outs with 1 on. Roch Cholowsky hammers a middle-middle cutter from Ben Davis to tie this game at 5. 105.5 EV, 439 feet. Unreal game in Arlington.

Let There Be Roch

The best arm of the first game was Arizona State's Alex Overbay, who struck out six across three stellar frames. FB: 94-97, carry with late tail CT: 89-92, firm shape with bite SL: 84-86, sharper depth with sweep Son of Lyle Overbay, draft-eligible this summer. Really good.

One time at the San Diego zoo I overheard a guy refer to Moo Deng as a "system hippo" and it still makes me laugh whenever I see one of these little guys

On the other side, Cole Carlon was just as stellar before cramps hit in the 5th. FB: 93-97 T98 SL: 84-89, bullet shape, plays off steep angle CH: 81-83, kills spin, decent shape CB: 76-78, strike stealer The jump to the rotation has been seamless. In contention for LHP1.

First time seeing Dominic Smaldino in his new colors, but the power remains the same. Smaldino lashes this baseball way out to LCF, leaving the bat at 113 MPH and going 466 feet. Arizona State reworked the swing (hands are lower and more relaxed). Eligible this summer.

Hello from Arlington! Me and @OverdueSports are ready to conquer all 9 games this weekend, starting with Arizona State/Mississippi State at 11 AM CT. Cole Carlon/Ryan McPherson will be the starters. Huge pitching matchup to start off.
