[@aduncaroo]

I would love to see them finally get a guy who transcends that ballpark. Taking a pitcher you know will be playing half his games there with your early first round pick is ballsy

[@dougefresh8029]

[@GorbombZombay]

was hoping rox would land Dollander or Jacob Wilson even Rhett Lowder…it’s what I’m nervy about with Skenes being a pirate fan Dollander was projected 2 last year then dropped pitchers can be so up/down injury prone but hope kid figures it out at coors!

[@GeauxTigers2024]

Skenes and Crews are both gonna be great so excited for both of their futures

[@Saintaholik]

I think Hurston was underrated. Outside of Paul Skenes, has the nastiest stuff of any pitcher in this draft. His only knock is a lack of control at times. Which is a mechanical thing that the Braves have been known to fix. If the Braves once again fix his delivery, we could be looking at a perennial Cy Young candidate. This dude is nasty

[@CDawgz99]

💯

[@maxv6825]

His stuff is nasty but control isn't the probably. Players had an OPS of over 1000 on fastballs in the zone off him. His fastball gets hit and it gets hit hard. Concerning for sure but that split is deadly

[@andrewligonis5621]

When he’s on, he’s on, you just have to keep him in control of the game

[@Saintaholik]

@maxv6825 oh wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for the little tid bit. Hey may need to develop a 2 seam or cutter, and ditch the four seam

Enrique Bradfield Jr.'s uber-elite 80++ run tool helped him steal an average of 43 SBs a season in his three years at Vanderbilt. If he were to play a full 162-game season in the majors, he's projected to steal 110 bases!

I don’t think people realize how good max clark is. Had way better stats in high school than both Dylan crews and Wyatt Langfords stats in high school. Max clark has the highest ceiling in this draft

[@Jgoldie49]

@breadandcircuses8127 what do you mean how bruh? I literally explained everything you need to know in my comment. He had better high school stats than crews and Langford if he’s the same age as them and in this past draft class he would’ve gone #1

[@TheRayOfBlue]

Maybe because Langford wasn't a top 5 prospect in high school? Langford has proven more on a bigger stage now, and look at his minor league stats now and you'll see why he is a 5-tool-player.

[@Jgoldie49]

@@TheRayOfBlue I never said Langford wasn’t good. I like Langford a lot I’m just stating the facts. Max clark is also a 5 tool player with lightning speed he ran a 6 second 60 yard dash.

[@lesliejacoby9137]

I think the Orioles draft strategy is really good. We're drafting speedy outfielders who could have amazing potential with the new pickpff rules. Also our infield is already stacked so when the mlb starts wondering where they can get an outfielder they will come crawling to us 😂.

[@LordMayonnaise]

Small correction about Skenes, he is 6'6 (maybe even 6'7) but he isn't 235, he was 235 when he got to LSU, he is 250 now. That extra weight and not being a two way guy really helped his velo. Funny enough, Skenes could probably be a top 100 hitting prospect if he wasn't pitching lol, dude is a freak. I've talked to a buddy of mine who's pretty high up in an MLB front office and he and I (& PitchingNinja who I also talked to a little bit about it) agree that he is the best college pitching prospect we've ever seen. Although Roki Sasaki probably takes the cake for best pitching prospect ever.

[@tjtribble.]

Yes Crews is an unreal talent but the Pirates truly needed legit Ace. Keller is phenomenal but he is a high 2 or low 1. Skenes is a legit High 1. Also the pirates are loaded with with talent in the infield to the point where one will have to move to the outfield at some point.

[@trock6447]

I think you could make an argument the Langford pick is the best purely because the first two were gimmes. Langford was clearly at least the third best player in the draft, and I would not be surprised if his superior bat to ball skills and crazy raw power make him a better hitter than Crews long term in the MLB

[@Bobcat3355]

Also to a team that is ready to compete and not waiting on a young bat to develop. He will be ready for sure during there run in the next couple years with Texas

[@michaelwolf6424]

He's just stronger. Both have great approach to the ball in the zone and both are good/great hitters but Langford's raw power is only beginning to blossom. Some of the balls he crushed in the College World Series defy logic.

You have the Orioles' pick Enrique Bradfield Jr. all the way down at 22. Really, Marc? For shame. I wish you'd have done your homework better, but I know you're doing this on the run, covering all first round picks. I can tell you the Birds are _very_ high on him, and two franchise legends--Cal Ripken Jr. and Adam Jones--have already reached out to him. I'm guessing didn't hear his interview with the Baltimore media. His slash numbers were off this season due to him hitting the ball hard, but right at people. He's considered the best collegiate baserunner/base stealer (130 SB to only 13 CS). Plus, what often goes unnoticed (but not by the Orioles' scouts) is plate discipline/patience/strike zone recognition, and for this, Bradfield walked more than he struck out in all of his three years at Vandy. Oh, and he has elite bunting skills, too. I'd put him closer to a 12 than a 22.
