MLB Draft! Our First Selections (w/ Ratings) - MLB The Show 24 Franchise (Year 1) Ep.6

[@johnshepard313]

The "summary" format you used in the cubs game was perfectly paced. Feltclike a full game, but without the slog

[@jakeepps5980]

Cane I’ve watched you everyday for 10 years since your st louis rams franchise, sunset overdrive, and the backyard sports games. You have been a part of my life for almost half of it. I’m 20 now and I was single digits when I started watching you. I know I don’t comment frequently as I’m in college and have become a bit busier with my life but I just want to say throughout the good and bad days of my life your videos have always been there and you have been a huge inspiration for me. I want you to know that what you do is appreciated and I’m grateful for it. Thank you for being you cane. (PS finish backyard football please 😂)

[@MrHurriicaneLP]

Thanks for rockin with me all this time. Its been so long I don't even remember not finishing Backyard Football 🤔

[@nicholasbuffone175]

@MrHurriicaneLP I mean, there really wasn't any topping the insanity that was Part 2. "HAVE YOU NO UNDERSTANDING OF FORWARD PROGRESS!?" still has a decent chance of springing to mind every time I see a ref give the ball a questionable spot.

[@whowastheoneguy4719]

Same. Cane is legitimately a big positive in my life. Feels like a safe space for all of us franchise degenerates to have fun

[@briannorris4956]

Thank you cane for all you do brotha!

[@7Lothar7]

matsumoto looks like an absolute steal

[@Barista.Nathan]

I knew that Gomez Phelps was the pick, and it's a shame that he wasn't available, but the Benny Matsumoto selection may be the most impactful pick of the draft. No team in the league is making up more value later. If he can hit the ground running, he certainly has the potential to be the greatest of a now stacked starting pitching farm system.

[@paulkollars6667]

I drafted a similar pitcher in my own franchise and he's already developing fast. Feels like the pitcher development has been sped up a little this year.

[@aaronsanders4122]

I worked a 12 hour shift from 6-6 seeing this notification when I got home just made my day so much better 13:49- A’s franchise never dies

Lol 👏👏👏👏 Didn’t work as long as you did. But these notifications always make my day. 😤😤😤

[@Eric_Lear]

Dont forget to give your picks unique animations. Its fun to have new players feel different. I dont know if pitchers still only start with the generic stances or not.

[@MrHurriicaneLP]

That's become a habit for me

[@brendonbuffaloe8830]

@@MrHurriicaneLPPlease give Matsumoto the Christian Javier animation. He’s also a low velocity, high break pitcher.

[@tobyrorrer3454]

Unsigned players are in the next year's draft. I've already done 7 drafts and noticed the ratings are way down as a whole compared to '23. I've saw 1 99 potential guy in 7 drafts

[@tyranttracergaming]

I’m glad it’s more realistic. The generational talents were more like annual talents with multiple even being in the same draft

[@racinegarrett]

Hey Cane, about what you mentioned at the end of the video, I think that prioritizing a series like this is great. Especially with the new NCAA game coming out this fall, my assumption would be that you wouldn't want to have 4 series going on at the same time, which would eliminate the Madden replacement for either the New Orleans Saints or Las Vegas Raiders series, with whatever teams that might be. With the new empty content slot for College Football, I think a more enjoyable style for that series would be in the form of the Raiders franchise. The long term storytelling is something that you excel at, and potentially taking that even deeper with the massive overhaul that a collegiate roster takes from year to year could form some interesting storylines and characters along the way, which is something that the UTSA series didn't allow much for. The depth that a series like the Minnesota and Kalispell dynasties provide was something that I think makes you one of the best sports gaming KZbinrs on the platform today, but with the hopeful continuation of the series beyond the next installment, there is not as much time to dig deeper into those stories like you had. In my opinion those two series provided the best stories that you have ever created, and showed your great talent as a story teller. I also believe that this specific style of content that you do on this channel could be even better suited for the upcoming NCAA game. No matter what, you know that we will support you with whatever you do decide to do, just my two cents and thoughts about what could be really fun both for us as viewers, and hopefully you as a storyteller. Take care!

[@mentalhaze4226]

I was very high on Billy Murray, and not so sure about Castilla... hopefully i am wrong and he turns out fantastic.

[@nicholasbuffone175]

Man, I was really looking forward to making endless "Groundball Day" puns if we went with Billy Murray instead. Oh well. Excited to see Castilla and the rest of this class in the seasons to come! (Just going off a glance, Matsumoto is basically Sean Early if Sean's arrival actually lived up to his surname. :P) Also, shoutout to Arden Mercer doing his part to mercilessly resurrect the Cleveland Sports Curse. Consider yourselves lucky that Cosmo Fernandez's a bust, digital Guardians fans: you would've gone insane otherwise.

[@MaadhatsOnTwitch]

I liked Billy Murray better but overall the draft was pretty good. 2 future starters and a possible bench bat or 2

[@aaron8977]

Honestly I just wonder who the cardinals hitting coach is in real life. Through the years cardinals have a track record of “bad” hitters leaving and being incredible and vice versa (lifelong cardinals fan btw)

[@AdamLeeNichols]

Turner Ward. The manager is Oliver Marmol.

[@Dran_Kito]

That's some quality drafting as far as the pitchers go. Maybe we can get lucky and see them by the end of next season.

[@CookieBanana]

Dylan Carlson bringing back A's franchise memories in the bottom of the 9th

[@CadChamberlain]

If you need hitting prospects to trade for, just look at the Orioles farm system. They have a bunch of guys that have no chance of starting on that roster.

[@MrHurriicaneLP]

I legitimately may

[@CadChamberlain]

@@MrHurriicaneLPHeston Kjerstad or Colton Cowser would definitely help the teams farm system or starting lineup, whether or not they are ready for the pros.

[@cesarpadilla3456]

15:00 it’s such a satisfying feeling to see that animation let alone a sacrifice fly 🤣

[@Matt11560]

I got thrown out with that animation one time

[@samdeabler9979]

BEST SERIES ON YT!

[@bfharper1]

Yes been hyped about the first draft

[@hundoH]

Afaik unsigned players will appear in future draft classes, sometimes with higher ratings and rankings

[@paulkollars6667]

I think sometimes they can fall off a bit too. In my franchise I saw a good looking first round pick go unsigned and then fall to the 4th round the next year. He was revealed as just an ok prospect, which maybe was always the case and he would have been a bust of a pick, hard to say.

[@CASEMSTR]

15:00 was actually super cool seeing the celebration trigger for a fly ball like that! The little details like that

[@ryanhicks7321]

I was watching your past streams and I don't know if you know but when you player lock you can change the settings so you can still watch your batters hit while your player is on the bench

[@CadChamberlain]

Billy Murray should have no doubt been the better pick. Control and break doesnt play a large factor in simming.

[@Noodlelimbz]

And BB/9 has a really big impact. With that and his K/9 I’ll be amazed if Murray isn’t a stud.

[@Waldo2929]

Does anyone else find it funny how MLB the Show has a quirk of sending one and only one relief pitcher to the All Star Game each year? It's always one relief pitcher and the rest are closers, and has been like that for years.

[@troycapybara]

Loving this series Cane! Admittedly I haven't watched one of your franchises in a few years but the Cards franchise has been a banger so far, keep em coming!

[@CadChamberlain]

Diego Casto is now the guy I will unapologetically hype up for his glove

[@Xorgrim]

You have the best franchise content! Keep doing what you're doing. Content is great. I enjoyed the A's series from start to finish. I wouldn't mind if the episodes kept coming regularly even during Football season.

[@chim8939]

I think you made the right pick in the long run. I remember Michael having terrible control... those were some rough times lol.

[@WolfRaging95]

Cane, can you please clip the segment of your video with your settings? I’m trying to set mine up like yours for Franchise mode. I don’t recall when you shown and in what video. Thank you.

[@ddager20]

Cesar Prieto is a favorite of mine. I’m a pirates fan and live in Indiana which means I get to see the AAA affiliate of the pirates play. Went to watch Paul Skenes play against the cardinals affiliate. Prieto gets heckled the entire game, takes it fantastically, and it still hitting .300+. Maybe deserves a little boost

[@resisttheempire3487]

Cane, I’m a bit under the weather today but seeing the Cards video this morning made me feel a lot better. As always you knock it out of the park (get it? Lol) keep them coming man 👊🏻

[@edgarmalone7694]

I say do what make you a great creator in your series. I didn't get invested enough in the A's series to like it but I usually follow all your other work. Just do what keep you enjoying what you do and we will keep watching trust me.

[@deathminder9206]

Those who watched the A's series knew when Carlson came up with the RISP in the bottom of the 9th that he was going to deliver.

[@paulmd7747]

If you can sign Arden Mercer in FA that would be super dope.

[@RonnieG]

If it's like real life I believe they would re-enter into the next years draft.

[@briannorris4956]

Love the hour long episodes can’t wait to get some draftees playing in the big leagues!

[@FTLnovaKid]

46:57 yep they will appear in the next draft.

[@ryang9982]

having 93 stamina out of the draft on Steve Castilla is awesome. Hes going to be fun to watch go for complete games

[@CadChamberlain]

Really bothers me that high power guys never develop. They never give them good on-base skills to actually perform unless they are generational.

[@chaoszodiark6237]

Cane, you should check if Benny has potential to play as a 2 way player, given his high potential.

[@YourAverageFan]

He’s not. It tells you if they are two way during the scouting process.

[@StateoftheFranchiseGaming]

Unsigned players under 24 will end up in the next draft class, they finally got it right unlike last year where all unsigned players would end up in the FA pool

[@sjm1922]

The pace on this video was perfect, thanks cane

[@ramonharris5402]

Definitely should have got Bill Murray his HR/9 is much better than what you think, with that high BB/9 he would have turned into a monster…Steve is good but Murray is better in my opinion

[@CookieGod16]

Nice Video Cane love the series!

[@isurrender3640]

13:50 as a cubs fan this was too accurate. Alzolay has been garbage to start the season in real life.

[@dhawk2003]

missing out on Billy Murray is gonna haunt us 😭

[@nicholasbuffone175]

"Haunted," huh? I'd say call the Ghostbusters, but we'd need Murray to do that, so… :P

[@danpearson290]

If you turn every offensive players training to hitting coach sessions (works on vision, discipline, clutch) then it can really help a lot of players improve other areas. Those 3 attributed are 3 of the most important for simulating in The Show. Guys like Wynn and Walker would benefit a bunch from it

[@matthewmaggio6278]

I stay away from drafting the guys that have an overall range close to their potential range. Sure, they may be closer to action now, but they are basically pinch hitters or bench bats. Had an undiscovered player clock in at #17 on my board, was drafted #2 overall. Had an undiscovered guy at #38 on my board, lasted until 4th round. All over the map

[@MartyCantrell]

I can't wait to see where this goes. Great work with the A's, this looks off to a good start.

[@ericblackwell4165]

please do a New England Patriots rebuild in madden 25

[@TheCr8ivity]

I really wish they would come out with this game on PC... I used to play this game all the time, but now that I have a PC and couldn't get a PS5 when it first came out, I have yet to be able to do so.

[@isaiahrozywilliams]

It would be sweet to have longer form vids this team is really interesting

[@JackKnoxx]

Is it just me or do some of Cane's videos on phone display quality settings as "unavailable"?

[@Burnsy217]

Sullivan was a solid pick for the 3rd round. Bat looks pretty good and clutch is nice.

[@jcs8486]

These graphics are sick! Just curious, what kind of flat screen are you playing on?

[@derpdadouch3654]

Man, I hope my power brick is the issue with my x-boi. I've been craving the show bad and my oh my all these franchises I be watching are not helping the itch. And then I'll go and start watching the twins one. Why do I do this to myself? (It's great content and the man behind these franchises are usually quite charismatic, like my man Cane over here) Look at me having a whole conversation with myself. Lets go Cards!!!🎉

[@tome497]

That cubs cards game was electric

[@airswoosh23]

I like to set up my scouting with high effecancy/ high rating (think 85 or above) for a Pitcher, and 2 Position players, then in the weeks I focus on the prospects that are higher ranked or the 65-99 guys and try to get as many of them as I can fully scouted.. then I tend to draft players that have the potential to get 90+ potential in order to get as many A prospects as possible. I do get some B's mixed in as well but its pretty sucessful that way and easy to build your minor leagues up and get superstar players that develop.

[@airswoosh23]

Also I tend to save before the draft as there seems to a bug right now where it gets stuck on the prospects screen and wont start the draft.

[@airswoosh23]

unsigned players will return to Juco or college and end up in one of the next 3-4 draft classes that I have seen.

[@michaelpatras9970]

Billy Murray has way better per 9s. I think Murray will be better in the sim and your pick will be better in the games you play.

[@brianharvey8404]

Unsigned draft picks seemingly just disappear. They certainly don't end up in the FA pool. I've gone through a few seasons and search for players that I noted were unsigned using Player Search, but they never show up. Someone correct me if I'm missing something!

[@CatchCraftInc]

Dylan Carlson turns into Ted Williams when the pressure is on

[@alecbell1370]

cane,,, can you edit the draft class when the new season starts? its gets very unrealistic when a 72 overall 18 year old with D potential makes an opening day roster. then doesnt get a contract extension at the end of the year. operation sports has a good outline to follow

[@Nbt24167]

I'm loving the series .it's helping me with how bad the Cardinals are in real life lol .. Go Cards

[@0V3CHKiN]

So can you sign those draft picks from other teams that could not negotiate a deal?

[@tobyrorrer3454]

No they go back in the draft next year

[@chim8939]

Even without Cane, the As are still selecting good draft picks

[@MrHurriicaneLP]

They don't need me anymore 🥲

[@HenH515]

Hey cane, I’ve seen unsigned players in drafts up to 3 years down the line after spending multiple years in college. I believe the 22 year olds that go unsigned from college are available in free agency tho.

[@MrHurriicaneLP]

That would make the most sense

[@tako4mvp719]

Countdown to Matsumoto Mania

[@kcvlogz2097]

would have loved to see willie Espinoza in the later rounds to come in and help this pitching staff early

[@HarijanKennels]

Traded for lesko in my nats rebuild…he’s now a 91 overall and putting up great performances. Hope he’s as good for you!

[@jaitao5656]

Saggesse is pronounced Suh-Jacy. I enjoyed following his ascent through the Rangers system before he was traded for Jordan Montgomery. I don't know what position he'll end up playing but the kid can rake.

[@ctrain1072]

Don’t know if someone said this but I’d love to see what the potential of that 1st basemen who had the big power that went to the Mariners :)

[@ehunt2956]

In year 5 with Angels rebuild hung onto Adell he is 72/50 Contact 66/53 Power and actually had back to back decent years for me. 4.3 war season in 2027 lol

[@Koops17]

Is it possible that when next year's MLB the Show comes out your going to play as the Chicago White Sox for Franchise mode

[@mikeb8674]

Carlson is NAILS. And nice touch seeing the hitter celebrate out of the box even when it wasn't a clear-cut base hit to win. Those little touches of realism go a long way. You may want to get some scheduled days off for the vets as well. Keep them fresh and get those prospects (such as they are) a little quality time. PS - when is this franchise gonna stop putting 40-year-old guys in the draft? These player models are wack. They look like they've had beards since they were six

[@migueldeleon9156]

[@dejiolaleye6412]

[@kwezcoma]

Cane that Pitcher will be in free agency next year. search him up on the first day of FA and you can sign him

[@nightfires2k12]

You need to get rid of Adell. He's all speed and defense. Find a guy who can hit better. Also, if I remember correctly, you can sign unsigned draft picks in the off season.

[@brooksholman2258]

Hey cane btw it’s pronounced “saj-is-see” super excited for this series!!!

[@cshelton1738]

Baez and Sageese should both have at least B potential. They are top 4 prospects for the cardinals and in mlb top 100.

The unsigned players can show up in a later draft if they’re still eligible

[@UgRugrat]

So you may see Mercer next year! definitely something to look out for

[@williamknight7907]

Next draft take high potential guys, Bengals been getting some mega drafts in his franchise by drafting on potential

[@NightHowl86]

Seems to me you need some help managing your farm system teams I've been playing franchise for years now and noticed oddities with your players and where they are as far as AA and AAA. Players that are a 63 or better overall should always be at AAA as long as they can get playing time. Players that are 51-62 should be in AA. Players that have good potential but are below 50 overall should always stay in A ball till they mature to atleast a 50 overall. The older players in the farm system like 27 and older this doesn't really apply to them you can put them wherever you need a spot filled. Once a player hits that 72 overall mark I start considering them for the bigs if they are performing at AAA. AAA= 63-75 AA= 51-62 A= 50 or lower Hope this helps the players will progress better for you I promise. Love this series and the Athletics one as well.
