Braves obviously just drafted a middle of the order bat
the more I read on him, the more I like him in this slot. Not a bad pick really.
Coppy
Over .900 ops all 3 years of college. Here's his walk and k rates his 3 years at school...

Jenista is a solid pick. Not as sexy a pick as Rocker would have been, but there’s a lot of power to be found in that bat and he’s supposedly athletic enough to at least play in a corner pretty well.
K rate is a bit high right? Has to have a low hit grade

I can’t imagine Jenista is an underslot signing, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say we might be moving on to the Senior Signings portion of the draft in round 4

Who are the comps for this Jenista kid? Lucas Duda maybe?
Blue Jays straight trolling drafting Conine.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Jenista was the MVP of the Cape Cod League last year.
Two scenarios. One, his tools average out to 53 and you always round down in the overall grade. Two, of the three tools he has a 55 in (power, run, and arm) only power really effects your value. Fielding is clearly superior to arm when talking about defense. And hit/power are clearly superior to run when talking about offense.
