(thru Friday’s results)
MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline
Chase Burns fans 16 batters in seven innings and breaks the Wake Forest single-season K record.
Tiger Commenter @TigerCommenter
Chase Burns is this years Paul Skenes
(Burns stumbbled out of the gate this season, but he is back to being the first pitcher being picked in this draft)
Vance Honeycutt goes deep for the 58th time in his career, becoming North Carolina's new home run king
(Honeycutt will not be around when the Mets pick. I have him in the 1-9-1.14 range)
Jac Caglianone's 200th career hit is a HOMER
(easily a top 5 pick)
Braden Montgomery goes oppo for his 24th jack of the season.
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB
No. 24 on the year for Braden Montgomery. Let this one travel a bit and hit it 385 to the opposite field. Bat speed continues to stand out.
(a definite top 10 pick)
No. 22 on the year for Travis Bazzana sets the new single-season record at Oregon State! MLB's No. 2 Draft prospect sends his signature leadoff homer into the record books
Bazzana is just piling them on now! The No. 2 Draft prospect clubs his third long ball of the game, 24th of the season:
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB
Please get Travis Bazzana out of the state of Washington. Two more dingos tonight against Gonzaga after three last night v. Washington State. Had four against Washington earlier in the year, plus one more v. Gonzaga. TEN dingos in the Evergreen State.
Travis Bazzana has closed the gap in terms of average exit velocity in recent weeks
(right now, a definite top 5 pick)
Colson Montgomery -- MLB's No. 8 prospect -- launches his second homer in the past four games.
(I have him going in the first 15 picks)
Charlie Condon goes yard for a 6th straight game!
The No. 1 2024 Draft prospect is now up to 32 homers (D1 lead) on the season:
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB
Goodness gracious, man. That's 6 games in a row with a homer forCharlie Condon. 32 on the year. 105 mph to the opposite field.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36
We are accepting nominations to rename our College Hot Sheet the Charlie Condon Hot Sheet.
Condon leads D-I in:
Batting Average by 20 points.
HRs by 7
SLG by 24 points
Total Bases by 31
(He's 2nd in hits, 3rd in OBP, 5th in runs, 7th in RBIs)
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB
Make it 34 for Charlie Condon! A new BBCOR record passing Jac Caglianone from a year ago.
34 in 48 games is just dumb.
(I have him a solid 1.1 pick)
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB
Independence (Tx.) SS Wyatt Sanford has steadily climbed up draft boards this spring, now a potential option for teams picking in the middle of round one. An explosive hitter with a strong glove, he figures to be a steal this July.
(right now I have him as a pick in the suppliment first round)
Stanford RHP Toran O'Harran is probably my favorite under the radar pitcher on the West Coast. Draft-eligible soph. Traditional "looks the part" guy. Loose. Athletic. Ball jumps out of the hand. Easy. Up to 96 w/more coming. CH flashes. Good clay.
(right now, I don’t have him projected in my first 10 rounds)
Iowa RHP Brody Brecht has really turned it on of late and is surging as the season reaches the back-third. His late three starts:
22.2 IP
2 ER
36 K
8 BB
0.79 ERA
ERA down to 3.43 on the season. He's also doing things like this…
( I have him being picked in the 1.15-1.25 range)
Shooter Hunt @ShooterHunt
Bryce Meccage
The 6’3” 210 workhorse has seen movement thanks to rapid secondary advancements including 3000+rpm SL to go w/ mid90s & AA change. Starter profile w/ ease of operation driving strong Top 50 pick potential.
(right now, at best, I have him as a late third day pk)
Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers
Nolan Schubart ties this game up on an absolute missile of an RBI double that almost left for a two-run home run. That was 111 mph off the bat. It's 2-2 here in Austin. Schubart has a pair of doubles today for OSU Baseball.
(could be a steal on Day 2)
Jurrangelo Cijntje was terrific yet again with just one run allowed in seven innings, along with eight strikeouts as Hail State BB clinched a series win over Alabama with an 8-1 victory.
(sort of a freak show, I onlt have him going in the 5th round)
Brian Recca @brian_recca
Mike Sirota
4/27: 2nd look at Sirota this spring. He delivered w/ a well struck ground-rule double. Sirota hasn't had the year many expected but the size, athleticism, and tools all remain intact. Curious to see what happens w/ him on draft day
(Sirota started this mock season as a top 15 pick. Not anymore. I have him now as a late first rounder)
Ian Cooke '24 U Conn
Cooke nearly went the distance Saturday. 8.2 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 9 K. Burly righty was 92-94 early and held 91-93 for 8+. Deception to delivery/arm from high release. Quality cut/ride FB with high IVB. Sharp SL is best pitch, whiff% over 55% in '24
Last 5 starts for Cooke:
32.2 IP; 6+ IP/GS
21 H; 5.8 H/9
0 HR
9 BB; 2.5 BB/9
45 K; 12.4 K/9
1.93 ERA
5.0 K/BB
(still, as of 5-6, a seasonal 4.49-ERA. I currently have him going Day 3)
Ian Smith @IanSmittyGA
This is what PLUS bat speed looks like.
2024 3B Tate Sirmans showing electricity in the hands while matching plane on the low-90s FB. Big-time tools in the 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame for the Ole Miss commit. Just 17 on draft day.
(got him as a 3rd day pick)
Baseball Georgia @PrepBaseballGA
Dominant playoff performance from 2024 RHP Ryan Johnson. The UGA commit ran it up to 94 early, while living a heavy 89-92. CH at 76-78 with good fade and diving action, Two distinct breaking balls with the SL 77-79 and low-70s CB.
Flashed a CT to LHH as well
Ian Smith @IanSmittyGA
This may have been the best that I’ve ever seen Johnson, and after not starting for the last month, made it even more impressive. Whole pitch mix was dialed, 74% strikes, 18 whiffs, 48% CSW.
(I have him as an intriguing 2nd round pick, but a projected back end starter at best)

Clemson Baseball @ClemsonBaseball
For the 2nd time this year, Blake Wright is the ACC Baseball Player-of-the-Week. In only three games...
6-for-11
3 HR
1 double
11 RBI (9 with 2 outs)
.600 OB%
(interesting guy… having a first round one season, but because he is a senior, I push him back to an early third rounder)
1 comment:
Mets targeting any 5'6" guy or guy who needs to switch to first base eventually, but lacks the bat to do so.
Colin Houck was # 32 overall, after "slipping to the Mets." But....
Why do they slip? Other teams see a negative, and pass. The Mets don't see it and pick.
He has fanned 49 times in 29 games in St Lucie, an incredibly concerning rate to me, and should immediately go down to the now-active Complex League to attempt to regroup.
