    D1baseball draft guy says he heard deGrom comps from scouts, which is obviously crazy but at least people like him. More from the same guy:

    "More on #Braves pick Freddy Tarnok - he was 93-98 mph this spring with a plus hook. Can't say enough about this pick...outstanding"

It makes sense in a way...if a guy flashes 97 that means it's in there, just a matter of getting it to show up consistently.

    At this point in the draft there is no consensus.
    Makes sense to me. Especially if he is an under slot guy. 97 is in there. Maybe he Soroka or Minor's his way up toward that as a starter. IF not maybe he's a RP and he can get to 95-97 for an inning.

    Didn't say terrible. But I think he was drafted high. All I recall is a collective "Who?" from the boards. Same thing with this guy...

    Call it a frantic google search pick in the top 3 rounds.

    Can't argue with the pick. Looks like an interesting pickup.


    I wonder if we draft Josh Anthony again.

    Video of him sitting 92-94 at an all star game. Fellow says he is super projectable.

    it sounds like like the Braves got a high school two way player with a big frame whose velocity is easily in the mid 90s.

    Some sites had him in this round by ranking, others had him more of a fourth rounder.

    You'd assume under slot is a possibility and the Braves likely thought enough of him to be afraid that he'd be off the board.

    If the Braves cannot come up with decent starting pitching in the 2020s, it certainly won't be for want of effort.

    Is he eligible again?

    I didn't think you were calling Soroka terrible. I'm just surprised people considered him this huge reach when drafted. He was rated in the Top 50 on most sites that grade prospects.

    Yes. Just finished his junior season at Auburn. He is in Baseball America's Top 500 prospects, but did not have a particularly good season with the bat. I'm guessing he's drafted after the 10th round, but who really knows.

    I think we released him this year.. but going off memory and that is never a good thing.

    At least they gave us a juicy name at this spot.

    Nah we still have him. On the GCL roster. Can't imagine his arm will allow us to stretch him out as a starter, but could be a RP.

    The MLB guys appear to have never even heard of him. They were googling furiously to learn what they could. Awkward minute of near-silence.

    Bacon was at UF during his freshman year but transferred out because he didn't pitch much. Went to Santa Fe right down the street.

    Wright and Waters must be getting at or over slot with these two picks.
