similar to the Langeliers pick in that he's a polished college player...we forsook upside with both picks...otoh neither was a reach...they both got drafted about where the mocks said they would goOriginally Posted by BeanieAntics

We better get a freaking banger at 60.
Interestingly, Langaliers was drafted by the Jays in 2016 (34th round), when Dana Brown was still working in the org.

28 I believe...a couple picks after Walker Buehler...you can get good pitchers in the back half of the first round

Well...he....this sucks!
Hits Quality Pitching...
(Last baseball.org)The knock on another draft prospect, OF Kameron Misner [Draft Profile] of Missouri, is his poor stats against SEC pitching. It raises questions that he might not hit well for average at the professional level. Shewmake is the opposite. He proves it with his career success in the SEC tournament, which is comprised of the SEC’s best 12 of 14 teams. Throughout his career, he hit 11 for 29 in the SEC tournament with 4 doubles and 5 walks. That is good for a .379 average and a .471 OBP.
If looking for further evidence of Shewmake’s ability to hit high-quality pitching, check out his career stats against last year’s number one overall draft pick, Casey Mize of the Detroit Tigers. He went 0 for 3 against Mize his freshman year, which is understandable for a freshman. However, he followed it up in 2018 by going 2 for 6 with a double, which includes a 1 for 3 outing against Mize in the SEC tournament. Here is what Vincent Cervino at Perfect Game writes about Shewmake facing Mize:
“He stands out for the polish and approach at the plate [handling] upper-velocity stuff with ease as Shewmake was one of the few batters who looked comfortable against Mize.”
Additional Strengths
There is more to like about Shewmake than his hit tool. Like most young players his size, he has the potential for more power as he fills out his 6’4” frame. His frame is somewhat spindly currently and will benefit from adding more muscle. Shewmake can hit the ball to the opposite field, which is a good quality in a lefty as the prevalence of shifts increase in baseball. He is no slouch on the basepaths either. Out of 37 stolen base attempts, he succeeded on 30 of them.
Not the same staff!
Swanson's replacement
Doubled up at hitter, cant hate it.
There’s the SS nsacpi wanted
So we drafted a guy who likely profiles as a backup catcher at 9 and we drafted a guy who likely profiles as a utility infielder at 21. I finally see the strategy! We're drafting to improve our bench!
I posed that question earlier today. Projection or production. We have the answer, at least for the first round.
I miss Brian bridges...lol.
remember how revered the pick of kolby allard was? an absolute steal!

Dana talked about watching him develop over the years
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
More likely Culberson's replacement.
Maybe we utilize all this players to make a trade.
Doesn't k (career 9.37%), but doesn't walk (6.69%). Weird both college picks have low walk rates
yeah...but I feel a good one would be there at 60
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
