I really like the look of this guy. Lot of arm side run on the fastball. Slider has some serious bite and is hard to pick up. That slide step is very funky but probably means he’s great at controlling the running game. I like strike throwers!!!
I wouldn't be opposed to taking a college arm or prep player with the compA pick. I think I still would try for at least 2 college bats with the compA,, round 2 and round 3 picks. Pick 9 should go to the best player available regardless of bat or arm, college or prep.
I really feel there isn't a lot of separation in picks 1 through 10, even the top 3 could change by seasons end. Wetherholt comes back this weekend, Kurtz last 3 hits have been homeruns and his overall numbers are climbing. A couple of the preseason top guys are sliding, a few high school players are rising and some really good bats with questionable gloves should be around with picks 37 and 47. I really hope they avoid high contact little power hitters early as well as pitchers that lack control. Target the poor control pitchers after the 4th round again.

One of my favorite pitchers in the draft. It’s super deceptive; slow, then all of a sudden, quick pitch!!

This^^^^ x 100.
So pirates trade for Joey bart? Does that mean Grandal is out for longer than expected. Trying to make sense of the move.
Delay is off to the IL
Oh I missed that, I just looked into it and it doesn’t appear they know delays injury?
