Mack - Weekly Draft Notes


Brian Sakowski - B_Sakowski_PG

 

Andrew Hoffmann and Ryan Hampe, both JUCO transfers from @LoganVolsBsbl, will be huge pieces for Illinois this spring. In fact, those two plus IF Zak Hartleb (also from Logan) form one of the best JUCO classes in the Big 10 overall. 

 

Alabama staying hot on the JUCO trail, picking up LHP Jake Leger. Works in the 88-90 range, misses bats with slider, changeup coming along, big piece for a loaded Iowa Western club

‘21 INF Josh Schleiky hitting absolute lasers throughout BP today

 

Has huge offensive upside & has continued to add polish to his game 

 

 

PG Showcases

 

Uncommitted ‘21 Danny Noli (AZ) has shown plenty of intrigue tonight working at 86-89 with excellent life and feel for a breaker in low-70s with great shape/spin. 

 

Tyler Russo - @TRussoPG

 

Solid uncommitted ‘21 out of Arizona for coaches who are still looking in the class. Attacked and command well; works easy upper-80s, more in the tank there and the breaking ball projects as an out pitch. 

 

 

Joe  @JoeDoyleMiLB

 

Here's a guy soaring up boards: Coral Springs SS/3B Gavin Conticello.

 

Among the best bat speed in the class. Super-rotational (think Bellinger) with natural loft and leverage. Suggests big future power. Quick, soft hands. Really manipulates a barrel.

Unconventional prep southpaw Anthony Solometo has seen a meteoric rise up draft boards this summer.

 

Joe  @JoeDoyleMiLB

 

This is really good stuff. I'm pretty high on Solometo. 

 

 

Burke Granger - @burkegranger

 

An interesting Midwest arm to know is TJ Brock (RHP, Ohio State). Threw well today in front of about 10 scouts. Quick arm, FB sat 97-98 (t99); paired it with a power slider. This angle will give you a sense of the FB run. High leverage arm for the Buckeyes 

 

 

D1Baseball - @d1baseball

 

At 2B, look for big things from Peyton Wilson, who hit .333 in 2020.

 

Went 3 went 3-for-3 in the scrimmage @aaronfitt saw, hitting line-drive singles that exited the bat at 100 mph & 98 mph in his 2 trips from the left side. 

 

 

Texas Tech Baseball  @TTU_Baseball

 

 Connor Queen - In 32 career appearances, he sports a 2.89 ERA and 5-0 record heading into his "second" senior season

 

 

Gregory Gerard - @GGerardPG

 

Loved what I saw from OF LeTrey McCollum (2021 CA) during my time in Arizona. Uber-athletic outfielder with range and solid speed. Really handled the barreled well for @sdshowbaseball at the Fall Nattys using a LD swing and projectable strength
