Carlos and Jacob conduct the high school version of their best tools draft from a week ago. The two attempt to create the most impressive player possible by drafting the best tools in the prep class.

90th Percentile: Prep Pitching Gains Real Or Mirage?

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 12:45:25 +0000

This week on the 90th Percentile Matt and Geoff discuss prep pitching prospects and their reported fastball velocity pre-draft. Do prep arms gain velocity in pro-ball? Does it stay the same? Or is there some inconsistency between what's reported and what's real? We examine a variety of prep pitchers taken between the 2020 and 2023 drafts to see how any prep pitchers have gained velocity in the years following their draft.

90th Percentile: An Expanded Relationship w/ Independent Leagues

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 14:02:24 +0000

Since the shrinking of the minor leagues post-2020, independent baseball leagues are playing a larger role in the development picture. We ask if a non-affiliated Independent minor league team would offer a benefit to the minor league structure. We draw from the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League who played the 2023-24 season as an independent team prior to gaining afflation with the Carolina Hurricanes. We discuss how that would work and why it would offer players a viable showcase opportunity against affiliated players.

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 13:54:06 +0000

The game of college baseball is in a period of great transition in 2024, as so much has changed since 2021.

Prep Pitching Risers & The Difficulty Of Lining Up The Top Of The Draft Class

Fri, 24 May 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to talk about impact performers in the first few days of conference tournament action and also discuss the most recent news about ECU righthander Trey Yesavage’s health situation.

After that, the two talk through a trio of prep pitchers who have stormed up draft boards this spring and debate those profiles vs. some of the college pitchers who could go off the board in a similar range.

Next, the two talk about the flaws of the prospects in the middle of the first round and beyond and then pick out a few players who could go in the 10-25 range they feel most confident in—if they feel confident about any.

The show closes with a discussion about how challenging it has been to line up the top college players in the class beyond Charlie Condon and Travis Bazzana. Seemingly every scout we talk to has a different order for lining up Chase Burns, Hagen Smith, Braden Montgomery, Nick Kurtz, JJ Wetherholt and Jac Caglianone. How do Carlos and Peter line them up? Depends on the day.

Digging Deeper Into The 1-1 Debate

Fri, 10 May 2024 09:00:00 +0000

After a Carlos-caused week-long hiatus, the draft team gets back on the podcast to talk about the state of the 1-1 race in the 2024 class. Peter makes his best case for Oregon State second baseman Travis Bazzana as most of the draft world falls further in love with Charlie Condon—but is Bazzana 1-1 as hot a take as you think?

The two dig into their numbers a bit more and explore Condon’s unusual home/road splits and also get into a conversation about the importance of makeup. Peter wonders if Texas A&M outfielder Braden Montgomery would have a 1-1 case in any other year and the two then talk about whether or not Montgomery should keep switch hitting at the next level.

After the top-of-the-class conversation dies down, the two move into a discussion about other players making moves (and not always up) on the draft board including Kentucky outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt, Bucknell third baseman Sean Keys, Austin Peay infielder and outfielder Jon Jon Gazdar, TCU shortstop Anthony Silva and Texas A&M lefthander Ryan Prager.

Brewers’ Tyler Black Gets Callup | BA Prospect Profiles

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 20:50:00 +0000

According to a report from Jon Morosi, the Brewers are set to call prospect Tyler Black to the big leagues. Black currently ranks No. 73 on the Top 100 and earns high marks for his hittability and speed, though his ultimate defensive home is questionable and his power might only be fringe-average once he reaches his peak. The 23-year-old lefty swinger has five home runs this season at Triple-A Nashville.

Data Sleepers To Know In The 2024 Draft Class

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to talk through some of the most interesting players in the 2024 class from a data perspective.

After the rollout of the top 400 draft list this week, the two go back and forth and trade information on prospects who analysts, or those big on batted ball data and stuff+ metrics, might fall in love with.

The players include a few potential day one hitters, but the bulk of the conversation revolves around names who could be upside picks on the second day of the draft. There’s a hitter whose batted ball data fits with a handful of first rounders but is never mentioned in that range, a slugger with exit velocity data similar to Jac Caglianone, a pitcher with perhaps the best slider in the country and another pitcher who might quietly have the best fastball in the country among others.

–

Time Stamps

(2:30) A well-rounded bat who fits with prominent first-round names

(6:50) A deep cut prospect from the Patriot League

(10:15) A day one slugger with elite EVs and strong contact

(14:30) An outfielder with elite bat-to-ball skills

(18:15) The freakiest sweeper in the class?

(24:00) The best fastball in the class you haven’t heard of

(30:00) A small school pitcher with unique usage

(36:30) A righty with a big velo jump

Digging Into Draft Risers Including Bryce Rainer & Walker Janek

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to talk about the state of the top of the 2024 class. The two talk about how the top tier of players hasn’t changed significantly in the last few weeks and that the group seems pretty wide open after about pick 10 or so.

The two talk about one of the more consistent up-arrow prep prospects in the class, Bryce Rainer, who the two previously loved as a pitching prospect, though they both are coming around to liking his toolset and hitting ability as a shortstop prospect. His NHSI performance does nothing to sway that opinion and has him a steady mover up draft boards.

After that the two talk about Sam Houston State catcher Walker Janek, who is having a career year with the bat and also might just be the top defensive catcher in the class. How long will a profile like that last on draft day and what is our confidence in the catcher pecking order at this stage?

Next the two talk about a unique hitter who profiles as both a first baseman and center fielder in Texas lefthanded hitter Jared Thomas, who like Janek is having a strong offensive season. After that the two break down a few Vanderbilt pitchers who, despite a rough last week against Texas A&M, could be poised to hear their names called on day one of the draft.

JJ Wetherholt Is Back & Nick Kurtz Won’t Stop Hitting Home Runs

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Carlos and Peter hop back on the draft podcast to talk about players up and down the board. They get things started by talking about JJ Wetherholt’s return to the lineup for West Virginia last weekend and try and think through where he fits on the draft board now. Is he fully back into the 1-1 mix that he started the season at or have players like Charlie Condon and Travis Bazzana created a gap?

And how about Nick Kurtz? The Wake Forest slugger has gotten back to his power-hitting ways over the last two weeks and all of the sudden looks like the exact sort of hitter we expected to see. Can he rejoin the top-of-the-draft conversation as well and just how insane has his home run streak been?

The two move further down the board to discuss another big power name, but one without the same refined offensive approach as Kurtz: Mississippi State outfielder Dakota Jordan. The two marvel at his bat speed, talk about his improvements this spring and dig into some of the details about his overall offensive approach and hit tool questions.

Next the two talk about Texas shortstop Jalin Flores as a potential salve for the 2024 class' lack of impact shortstops and wonder about how real his loud spring performance is thus far.

Finally the two close by talking about ECU righthander Trey Yesavage, who continues to post weekly, rack up strikeouts, limit his walks and deploy a deep pitch mix with impressive feel to command the baseball.

2024 Bonus Pool Talk + Walking Through Our First Staff Draft

Fri, 05 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Carlos and Peter hop on the pod to talk draft.

The two discuss the recently announced slot values and bonus pools for the 2024 draft. How does having more than $18 million dollars in pool money impact a team like the Guardians picking 1-1? Other teams like the D-backs have a relatively large amount of money to work with considering their first pick, while the Cardinals are on the other end of the spectrum with relatively little inside the top 10.

After that the two talk through a staff draft that they did with JJ Cooper, Geoff Pontes and Ben Badler. Which picks were surprises? What was our thought process for each of our individual picks? And how does the class seem to be shaping up now?

Finally Peter gives a preview of the 2026 college class after dropping his first ranking of that group on the site this week.
