Rockies select Jackson Cox

Murphy says he will be starting his career as a 2 way player

2021 Pirate draftee and Georgia high schooler Bubba Chandler has taken that route and outside of a high walk rate as a pitcher, he's doing very well.

Tigers select Peyton Graham

Sounds like they will at least let him give it a shot but its clear they drafted him to be a pitcher

Sounds like Murphy does, too.

The velocity scares me with Murphy. He sits low 90s and there's not much to make you think it's going to jump. Ritchie's fastball is a tic or two faster as is and he has more projection.

It's so hard to be an above average MLB starter these days sitting in the low 90s.

Murphy or Chandler or both? I will be surprised if both don't end up on the mound.

Sorry... Murphy

You're literally just assuming he has more projection because he's a couple inches taller. It's just as possible Murphy gets up to consistent mid-90s heat as it is that Ritchie gets up to the high-90s consistently—and it sounds like the latter is going to need that more, given his other FB characteristics.

Personally, I'm more excited by the reports about Murphy's spin-rates / efficiency than Ritchie's mediocre spin-rates, especially given Murphy's excellent command on top of that.

Padres are adding to an already stocked system... Mazur and Lesko by themselves are a haul

Guardians select Parker Messick

Mazur to me is not the other big get, it’s Snelling.

Lesko, Snelling, and Mazur is very nice. Likely going below slot from here on.

Reds select Logan Tanner

The Snelling pick was really good, too. Preller is having a nice night.,

With as many guys as we’ve produced I won’t doubt our scouting department at all.
