2022 MLB Draft Thread

If this guy threw 96 instead of 94, he’d be a top 3 pick.

Not sure what else you wanna see at 20.

Relax.

Velocity can be added with strength and a change in mechanics. If he does go up a couple of mph then he could be badass

I always wonder when I see things like this if Murphy was pretty sure he was going to be the Braves' pick and the suspense was over whether the Braves would change their minds at the last minute.

 

[Hudson2]

He's gonna be a great closer

My nephew is the starting SS at MS state.

Relax.

I shoot for more projection. If he was 6-3 with broad shoulders I'd be stoked. I'm fine with higher risk at 20, I just want higher reward.

JR Ritchie. Who?

I love lane. He made a lot of progress with the bat this season

 

[CyYoung31]

Who?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Lmao, who? What a great baseball name though

 

[striker42]

What is AA doing?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Two high schoolers. A bit like the old days of Braves drafts

Yeah he’s a stud. We’ve worked a ton on him since he was born.

 

[IslandBrave]

What is AA doing?

Does his purple haired brother come with him?

 

[striker42]

Yeah, I don't think we're going underslot for Murphy.

That’s good, I can’t imagine he was that good when he was born.

Your likelihood of going under slot has basically nothing to do with where you’re committed and everything to do with where you would have otherwise been drafted.

It’s not like a kid committed to ND ranked 140 would need to be paid 1st round money or else he’s going to school.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. The relative strength of a college commitment clearly plays into where (and sometimes if) a guy is drafted. I doubt the Braves would have drafted him in the first if there was a big obstacle in terms of likely signing. The point I am making is that the magnitude of possible slot savings can be somewhat dependent on what cards the player is holding and a college commitment is just about the only card a high school player has. If the Braves low ball him, he'll just go to college and a Notre Dame education is a pretty valuable piece of sheepskin.

Lol. Who called two high school right handers?
