Hmm Shuster out of Wake. Callis had him going 77th lol

**CJ9** · 06-10-2020, 08:39 PM

Gilmartin all over again.

At least Callis said he should be much higher with a lot of late helium. Said the 77 was way wrong. Owned it.

Another cheap first rounder with a lower ceiling. Sigh

Callis said he would put him 25-40, but it's a reach.

I don't love the pick with who was available... but no comparison... Shuster at least has some real upside.

His best pitch is his changeup. Not an exciting pick at all lol

**Heyward** · 06-10-2020, 08:41 PM

Law ranked him 26th

Yeah he did. Got caught up on the feed and you’re right. Said he hits 97 and has a good change

**50PoundHead** · 06-10-2020, 08:43 PM

He went to Jared!

From his scouting report, he throws a lot harder than Gilmartin. Fastball was sitting 92-94 this spring with peak of 97.

**zbhargrove** · 06-10-2020, 08:43 PM

Hopefully this will let us take some big upside gambles tomorrow.

I'm so tired of taking guys who project as middle of the rotation starters at best.

Yeah his ceiling isnt that high, would have taken the gamble on Kelley.

I was prepared to hate the pick (and it's hardly exciting) but I guess it's a typical Braves pick in that it's betting on the latest data points.

**Southcack77** · 06-10-2020, 08:49 PM

Hope he saves them money.

Same.

**CJ9** · 06-10-2020, 08:50 PM

Fastest pitch he threw was 95 mph, average fastball speed was 90 mph. https://twitter.com/aosnacz/status/1...478815744?s=21

Completely flummoxed. That's AA for you.

**clvclv** · 06-10-2020, 08:56 PM

He's got to be a seriously cheap sign and a lot of guys have to slide a long way to make the pick make sense.
