25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: going on. How are you feeling about this Mets draft

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: so far?

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: I think it was fun. Just from talking to you,

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: who's very invested in the Major league Draft every year,

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: you kind of let me know that this wasn't the

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: best crop of college talent that we're ever going to

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: see in major league draft, especially not compared to last year,

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: where there was heaps and heaps and heaps of college talent,

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: some guys in the upper to the top of the

34
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: first round for they reach the major leagues, which is

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: very rare. But I think that we saw a lot

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: of the normal David Sterns stuff. We saw him look

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: for a lot of pitching traits rather than pictures with

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: stats like we have lots of pictures who throw ninety

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: seven miles n how we have lots of pictures with

40
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: good vert on their fastballs from low armslots we have

41
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: lots of pictures that through splithers in this class too

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: that we're going to talk about. And I think that

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: The Mets were able, David starting is the Ta Chris

44
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Gross were able to do that because the top of

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: the draft Day one we took two college hitters who

46
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: I think look like relatively quick movers, relatively high floors

47
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: in terms of hitters that you're drafting after the thirty

48
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: fifth pick in a draft. And I think with that

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: foundation in the draft class, they went for chaos down

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: the board, more so than the last few years when

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: we saw for what three straight seasons the Mets went

52
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: basically from round three to round fifteen, college pitcher, college pitcher,

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: college pitcher, college pitcher. And now we've built up the

54
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: depth in the system and now we have three rotations

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: deep between Syracuse, Binghamton, Brooklyn of Major League A Jason

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: starthis at some point now it's time to do some

57
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: chaotic things and take some chances. I think the Mets

58
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: did that well in this class.

59
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's first go over the first two picks. Like

60
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: you said, from Day one of the MB draft, the

61
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Mets took Mitch Voight thirty eighth overall, second basement out

62
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: of the University of Michigan. Go big Blue, as James

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: loves to say, Mitch voy what do you think about him,

64
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: because at least for me on the on the side

65
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: of like evaluating seeing what they've got, feels like a

66
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: high floor guy, as you mentioned, feels like someone who

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: is definitely hit first guy rather than like this athlete

68
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: kind of superstar utility guy out in the field by

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: any means. But what you do like about Mitch Voyd

70
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: and something that I've seen him that he does a

71
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: lot and does really well. Hits the ball in the

72
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: air and the exit velos are at a spot where

73
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: they're not elite, but they can be worked upon, especially

74
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: because he does make so much consistent contact, doesn't swing

75
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: a miss, doesn't chase a lot, like you said, feels

76
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: like a really safe pick, especially when the Mets have

77
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: to make their first pick of the entire draft, that

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: pick number thirty eight.

79
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mets really have their work cutout for them in

80
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: every single draft because we always get bumped back ten

81
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: spots because of the penalty for the contacts that we

82
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: go into every single year, and we'll likely I'll take that. Yeah,

83
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: I'll continue to go into that. I'll take my draft

84
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: pick knocked ten picks a year from the late twenties,

85
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: or hopefully pick thirty one day all the way down

86
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: to the late thirtiesn't pick forty one day to get

87
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: one or so other and be competing year after year.

88
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: But the thing I like the most about Void is

89
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: just seems very It's a hard thing to describe, like

90
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: he does seem hitherish like. It seems like he controls

91
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: the barrel well, like he's this power hither who can

92
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: spray the ball and lift the ball to all fields.

93
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: We would like to see him pull the ball a

94
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: bit more, but not like he's incapable of pulling the ball,

95
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: and you can just see that there's power in every direction.

96
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: I like that, and he is a plus athlete, He's

97
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: not a premium defender. I could definitely see them though,

98
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: because I think he has a strong arm, and he's

99
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: only been a full time position player for a year now.

100
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: He was a hit did pitch, Yes, he was a

101
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: pitcher up until twenty twenty four. Wasn't great there. So

102
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: now they people have been kind of purporting him as

103
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: a bit of a two way player. I think he's

104
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: certainly a position player, only I'd be shocked if they

105
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: go back to two way, which is exactly the same

106
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: thing to messed with Carson Bench last year. This pick

107
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: again has drawn lots of comparisons to Carson Bench because Voight,

108
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: on top of having that power and the ability to

109
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: lift the ball, he has incredible eye. He takes his pitches,

110
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: he has an unbelievable recognition of the strike zone. He

111
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: works hitters counts, and that is how he's able to

112
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: kind of that's kind of one of the best things

113
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: that seems like he's able to do as a hitter.

114
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: And now when you marry all those traits again, it

115
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: seems like you have a relatively high floor prospect.

116
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think just getting someone safe here at

117
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: the top of the draft, someone who I don't think

118
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: is going to be anywhere over the slot value, which

119
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: is very important as well when drafts. Yeah, he's probably

120
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna be under. It's important to have that money to

121
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: be able to spend on some of the guys that

122
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about a little bit later where you

123
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: can draft them, give him some money, steal them away

124
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: from the colleges that they're going to next pick that

125
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: the Mets made was at number one oh two, and

126
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: that was Antonio Jimenez, a shortstop out of UCF he's

127
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: a little bit different than Mitchvoyd. He's a little bit

128
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: more of a free swinger, but at the same time,

129
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: he still doesn't really strike out much. He gets on

130
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: base a decent amount, but he does have some pop

131
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: and shout out Matt Eddie, friend of the podcast, I

132
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: love the crazy comp that he went with. He goes,

133
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: is this their idea of their pipe dream of like

134
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: a Jeremy Pania type And I can kind of see

135
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: the vision there.

136
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: Definitely, also because Chris Gross, who's now the Mets head

137
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: of amateur scouting, was with the Astros when they took

138
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: Pania of a similar mold. And while he Meanez doesn't

139
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: didn't strike out much in college, he was playing the

140
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: Big twelve at UCF, which is so bizarre saying that

141
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: UCFS in the Big twelve, he's the go hit there.

142
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: It looks like he will strike out more as he

143
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: moves up in pro ball, just because it's a it's

144
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: a lot of swings. He just likes to take his hacks.

145
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: He's a swinger and he doesn't really recognize pitches as well.

146
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: Definitely not as well as Mitch voy but he has

147
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: a lot more It seems like natural ability. Somewhere where

148
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: Void struggled a bit was against velosity, because Void does

149
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: that thing that we talk about much we love with

150
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 2: one So though not comparing them, but someone who waits

151
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: a lot because you have faster hands, you have the

152
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: ability to send the ball to the ops the field

153
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: with power while you weigh the lies a guy like Void.

154
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: The one area he struggled a lot as a college

155
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: hitter was against pitches that of high velocity. Him and

156
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: Nez did not have that. Him and Haz crushed hot

157
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: velocity him. Nenez gets his hands out, he swings, He

158
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: crushes the ball. Paul power lifting the ball like one

159
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty mile anarrow max ex velocity while playing

160
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: a smooth shortstop. Which I think is why Matt Eddie

161
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: made that comparison Jeremy Payne, because you saw power, you

162
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: saw not so good swing decisions. You saw someone with

163
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: the arm of the athleticism and big size. It looks

164
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 2: like they could stick a shortstop. And that is why

165
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: he also I think, has a high floor.

166
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he looks to be a ballplayer as well,

167
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Mitch Voight, Him Andez feel like ballplayer picks for sure.

168
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

169
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Moving on to the third pick of this draft. I

170
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: know we're kind of flying through those first two guys,

171
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: but we've talked about him in an episode already. This

172
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: is where we get into the real different between us

173
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: and every other podcast in the world. Let's get going

174
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: into it. Peter Cuso third pick by the Mets, a

175
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: high schooler starting pitcher out of a high school in Wisconsin,

176
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: which is always crazy when you're picking high school kids

177
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: out from there, but the Mets have been showing it

178
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what school, what area. If you've got

179
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: some stuff, they'll be all over you. He was the

180
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: only high school pitcher invited to the MLB Combine this

181
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: past season. Pretty cool. I don't think he threw, but

182
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: he was invited, and his fastball's been up to ninety seven.

183
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 1: He is a big, big kiddie, six foot five. Feels

184
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: more like a development project to me. To have someone

185
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: who we're gonna talk about another high schooler down here

186
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: named was a Camden Lowman that I'm a little more

187
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: excited about, maybe on my perspective, but he seems like

188
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: a more smooth athletic pitcher, where Kuso has the bigger

189
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: frame but is a little bit more rigid, I want

190
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: to say right now.

191
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: And Kuso and Loman are kind of the same, are

192
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: kind of the concept that we talked about where this

193
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: drafts again didn't have the same level of either top

194
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: end or depth of college talent as especially compared to

195
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: last year. The Mets didn't have the Mets only two

196
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: picks in the top one hundred and two picks in

197
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: the draft. The team like Youuriels had four in the

198
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: top sixty. I think, just to give a sense of

199
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: different teams draft pool, the Mets came into this draft

200
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: think one of the smallest bonus pools ever in the

201
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball draft, the least amount of money, the

202
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: least amount picks ever to give out. But you take

203
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: those guys void and he meant as the top so

204
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: you can then take your shots in some of these

205
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: prep pitchers. And talk about Cruso being rigid, I see

206
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: that too in his delivery. But also I kind of

207
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: expect that with a kid from Wisconsin because most of

208
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: the work that he's doing, Like you're playing baseball outside

209
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: of course as a high schooler, but in this place

210
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: like Wisconsin, you're doing a lot of your baseball training indoors,

211
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: like on like a modified mound, like you're doing indoor prep.

212
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: You have track man's on you, that's what you're doing it.

213
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: But with that, he seems to have great characteristics and

214
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: traits on a slider, better than I would say for

215
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: most high school pitchers I've ever seen doing this for

216
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: a few years now, where there was a report that

217
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: last fall that pitched up to twenty six hundred RPMs,

218
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: and as of this February I saw another report from

219
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: one of the academies he was training with that I

220
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: got to eighty eight miles an hour, sitting between eighty

221
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: eight and eighty six with tons of drop on it

222
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: and nearly a foot and a half of horizontal movement.

223
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: That right there is in like it's not. I wouldn't

224
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: call it like a fault outlier slider, but I would

225
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: call that like a plus plus pitch that has all

226
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: the makings of being something that's nasty. He is committed

227
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: to Louisville, But I think the Mets only are taking

228
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: a kid like that that high when they know they're

229
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: going to put on a full court press to try

230
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: and sign it.

231
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one of the differences that's happened in

232
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: the draft over the last few years is teams are

233
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: not using these first five, six, even seven round picks

234
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: on guys that they don't think they're gonna be able

235
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: to sign anymore.

236
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: It's just a waste.

237
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: It's not something that these teams want to do. I

238
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: heard it mentioned a lot on the MLB Draft coverage

239
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: by guys like Jim Kallis and everybody that does this

240
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: stuff over at Pipeline. They're like, if they're drafting a

241
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: kid right now early, he's going to sign, they're going

242
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: to give him that money. A little bit later down

243
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: the draft. There might be some guys that maybe are

244
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: a little bit questionable to sign, but we'll still talk

245
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: about them as always. Kuso though, definitely, I just love

246
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: seeing that we're taking a big arm and a high

247
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: school kid as well, because we take, like you said,

248
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: so many college pitchers. It's a fresh new look.

249
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: And this is what the ability the Mets have afored

250
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: themselves for the last few year because we've been conferring

251
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: these college pitchers to guys by the time next year starts.

252
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: Christian Scott's Hell, the Brandon sprote Nolan McLain, Jonah Toong,

253
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: Jonathan Santucci, zach Thor did bladed well like we have. Again,

254
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: we can keep going on and on, but we have

255
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: so much depth in the upper miners of pitching. Now

256
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: it is the time to take someone like Kusseau who's

257
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: a been more of a project. You're you're okay if

258
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: it takes two, three, four years to get this guy

259
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: even close to the major leagues. If he's pitching in

260
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: Double A in three years, we'll be like, yes, that's

261
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: a win. But that's the kind of guy you think.

262
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: You see a major ceiling on major potential, and again,

263
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: you have the time to do it now, you have

264
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: the development processes inside your organization where you're confidently able

265
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: to do it. You see a team like the Angels

266
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: never want to really risk this stuff. They actually did

267
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: in the middle rounds of this draft, but they take

268
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: they take guys at the top at first few rounds

269
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: every year who are like, just get to the major

270
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: league as soon as you can, because we're going to

271
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: fuck you up in the middle. The Mets now are

272
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: confident what they can do with some of these guys

273
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: who again are more like projects. Next few pitchers on

274
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: this list I think are projects as well, but that's

275
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: a great show of confidence in both your depth and

276
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 2: the people you have helping to develop them. Scott, do

277
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: you have a Built Rewards card?

278
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Right?

279
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 4: I do crats. I pay a lot of money in rent,

280
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,079

301
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: Go into one of those projects. Peyton Prescott Relief pitcher

302
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: out of Florida State. Really cool fun fact. Coming out

303
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: of high school he was thrown like in the upper eighties.

304
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: He ended up then transferring into Florida State after a year.

305
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: I believe it maybe Jacksonville University, the Dolphins. I think

306
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: they are go Dolphins. Uh power right hit or power

307
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: relief Pitcher throws one hundred now, so he gained ten

308
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: miles an hour on his fastball since his time that I

309
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: was in high school. Now with Florida State getting drafted

310
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: by the Mets, the one like disappointing things that he

311
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: did have Tommy John surgery, so we're not gonna see him

312
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: throw this year. Don't really know when we're gonna see

313
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: him throw next year. But it's another common theme with

314
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: the Mets too. They're taking guys that have been getting injured.

315
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: Seems like that they're kind of jumping the draft, taking

316
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: them a little bit earlier because you see one hundred

317
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: miles an hour. You see a really really good slider

318
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: out of Peyton Prescott. I like the aggressive strategy here

319
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: by the Mets totally.

320
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: And Prescott guy's time in John startsyr relative early this

321
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: season in college baseball, so he's it's not gonna miss

322
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: that much time next year, you know what I mean.

323
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: And a lot of these guys who get drafted, you don't.

324
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: You don't continue pitching this year. You go you go

325
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: straight to the pitching Live, you go down to development

326
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: academy Port Saint Lucy, and you kind of just they

327
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: kind of get a grasp on who you are as

328
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: a player and as a person during this time. So

329
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: that's it's not really that big of a deal. The

330
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: Mets have taken this guy, and who're going to talk

331
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: about next Nathan Hall?

332
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Who else?

333
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: Just had major elbow surgery? Like I think that is

334
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: something that maybe is overrated fans getting upset nervous about that,

335
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: where he's like, yeah, take the couch, who needs arms surgery?

336
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: So what who cares?

337
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said it perfectly. Most of these guys coming

338
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: from college are not going to pitch this season. They're

339
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: not gonna throw again, especially because some of these guys

340
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: have had months off. If their season ended early, they've

341
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: had a month plus, maybe even close to two months

342
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: off since they last competitively through a baseball You might

343
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: get an inning or two, you might get five, six

344
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: innings maybe in a complex league or something like that

345
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. But there's no rush

346
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: to get these guys, especially when the minor league is

347
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: still churning right now for the Mets, especially at the

348
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: lower levels too now.

349
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: And we talked to Ryan Lampert last year about what

350
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: a month after he was drafted, and he said, literally

351
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: straight down to the Mets Academy, down to Port Saint Lucy,

352
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: sets you up at housing, sets you up with food.

353
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: Every single day. It's just lifting and pitching drills. And

354
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: he's like, this is the dream. What's better than this?

355
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: But something else really cool about Prescott that we're going

356
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: to see about lie of these Mets picks. It's short

357
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: arm action. It's a low release point. Did you see

358
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 2: how he threw. He's a bang right here. Bang. He

359
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: also had bleached hair, which I think is funny. I

360
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: like my closers, my relief pitches be a little crazy.

361
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: We love that.

362
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: And then there's thought though, that he could be a starter.

363
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: I've been seeing more and more people kind of floating

364
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: out the idea that I actually don't think this is

365
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: a relief play. I think this is a starter play.

366
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: I think that's true, because I was about to say,

367
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: is that he has a deep repertoire four reliever. He

368
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: has shown a slyer, a curve ball, splither, and the

369
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: change up. The change up and the splitther blend together.

370
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: But there are different grips, a different numb. He's throwing

371
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: different pitches out of his hand, but none of those

372
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: pitches have found any consistency. The slider's been the most consistent.

373
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: It's got like good bite near the upper eighties with

374
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: a true slider shape. So it's not like that down

375
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: where gyro slider we talk about. It actually has horizontal

376
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: moving on it. But like with that bag, even if

377
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: you just pick two of those pitches, the slyther and

378
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: one more, you can now start to work as a starter,

379
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: and if being a starter doesn't work, you go back

380
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: to pitching and relief. That's totally okay. Its one hundred yeah.

381
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: So if he starts so throwing ninety six, oh no,

382
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: But like this is again like good projects with good

383
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: pitch characteristics as defined these Mets drafts over the last

384
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: few years, and it is going to keep defining the

385
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: rest of this board. Well, yeah, this Nathan Hall guy

386
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: really freaky fits the characteristics of what the Mets like,

387
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: especially with that low slot fastball that he has. He

388
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: was a former catcher who then converted to pitcher, throws

389
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: ninety eight on the mound, got internal brace surgery, I believe,

390
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: on his right elbow this season, So again he's gonna

391
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: miss him time. We're gonna see him at some point

392
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: next year, hopefully, But when your fastball touches ninety seven

393
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: ninety eight miles an hour, again, the Mets kind of

394
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: like these projects where like he's a relatively new pitcher

395
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: as well, a guy who can now focus on pitching.

396
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure what we're seeing now with David Sern and

397
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: Chris Gross and just the Mets player development and everybody

398
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: making these decisions is and it's it's obvious right now

399
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: with these picks that have been coming after the first

400
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: two rounds, it's like, Flashy, what's the big thing that

401
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: they got? We feel like we can build all these

402
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: other pitchers out like we have with these other pitchers

403
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: in our farm system. Let's see if we can keep

404
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: hitting home runs on these guys.

405
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Mets are not seeking finished project, finished products

406
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or for any of these picks.

407
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: I lost in the later rounds, Like why take a

408
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: guy who throws like ninety two and is a pitcher

409
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: in round like seven. It's like, find the guy who

410
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: throws a hundred. Let's see if we can find a

411
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: diamond in the rough and hall. He does mostly sit

412
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: between ninety two and ninety five. He's touched ninety seven,

413
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: but again he has one of those low, slow fastballs.

414
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: It comes in right here, right at the head. There's

415
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: the rising action through the strike zone. My guy, Mikey

416
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: MJD Analysis Baseball Perspectives capped him to Will Watson. Looks

417
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: very similar to Will Watson, another guy who seems to

418
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: be a Milord success to this point in the Mets system.

419
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: And also the big thing about a haul. While he

420
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: has great pitch traits on that fastball and he gets

421
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: good velocity, the sweeper actually might be his outpitch. I

422
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: think the fastball is definitely his best pitch, but the

423
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: sweeper got up to eighty five miles an hour, which

424
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: is a good barometer for like a really effective sweeper,

425
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: getting over eighty five and up to twenty eight hundred

426
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: RPMs just based on raws spin alone, that would be

427
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: in the top twenty percentile of all qualified Major leaguers

428
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: who've thrown to split it this season, and that's with

429
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: well above average velo near the seventieth percentile. So right there,

430
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: you have another plus pitch and experimented with a curve ball.

431
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: It's one of those curve balls though, where you're like,

432
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: you kind of just trying to throw curveballs. Got the

433
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: big hump the Major lea killer. Yeah, the major league

434
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: hitchers will see it. But just right there, another fastball sweeper.

435
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: Really great spot to start for a guy who got

436
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 2: internal brace. Probably won't start pitching until next summer in

437
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: the system, but just awesome stuff to start to start

438
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: out with.

439
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I love what the Mets are doing here.

440
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: And then they finally they get they get to the SEC.

441
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: I get to brag about the best conference in all

442
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: of college baseball.

443
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: The SEC.

444
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: Shout out Auburn. They had a player drafted here, Cam Tilly,

445
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: right handed reliever in college The thing with Tilly. If

446
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: you look at his numbers, you'll be like, oh, like

447
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: a six y r at college, Why the hell are

448
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: we drafting this guy? But James tell the people why

449
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: we like Cam Tilly.

450
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: He's got another good fastball with a good spot. He's

451
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: got a good slider, and he's gotta splither. Another big

452
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: thing about Tilly's that he had a lot of buzz

453
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: coming to major legue draft out of college. Eric Logenhagen

454
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 2: thought that he was going to be someone who actually

455
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: could have been drafted high enough as a high scholer.

456
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: Logenhagen and fangrafts to go to the major leagues with

457
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: signing bonus, but didn't get what he wanted, went to

458
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: Auburn kind of never really got to start like he

459
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: thought he was going to be able to, is never

460
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: consistent enough to do it. And now he doesn't think

461
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: again that Hilly will even sign with the Mets unless

462
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: they promise him a starting role and something closer to start.

463
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: There's money, but I also think that you can do

464
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: that because again three pig, three pitches with a good fastball.

465
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: They see enough in him, and he was there. Sixth

466
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: player drafted, and again seventh player drafted, way down the

467
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: board because of how few picks the Mets had, how

468
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: far down the Mets picks began. That's another possibility where

469
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: if you see enough from him, he might be the

470
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: one that could go back to college from this group

471
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: that we've talked about so far. But if they see

472
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: it like it's may worth the money, get a lot

473
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: of guys on just slot, why not.

474
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the rare rue where the Mets

475
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: aren't actually competing with Auburn or wherever. He's gonna go

476
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: play in college this year for money for sure.

477
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, which I mean should be able out of

478
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: there in them. But Mark, talk about your favorite guy

479
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: on the board.

480
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: Next up, Yeah, Camden Lowman. So I've been watching this

481
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: guy pitch, you know, going through our research, and he

482
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: just he seems very very athletic on the mound, something

483
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: that I like, loose, most people like. He seems very loose,

484
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: very smooth. The mechanics are fluid. The fastball was up

485
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: to ninety seven. I think he was up to ninety

486
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: three in his junior year, got it up to ninety

487
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 1: seven his senior year of high school. He's another one

488
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: of these big fucking dudes that's like six foot four,

489
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: six foot five, coming out of high school in Missouri.

490
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: Good country country boy, grass fed over there in Missouri.

491
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: And he's got a really nice slider as well. Has

492
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: a change up. Committed to Missouri, which we know is

493
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: a pitching factory in college baseball. Missoo mac Scherzer came

494
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: from Missouri. There's been some really good pitchers that have

495
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: come out of that college. He's a big, tall kid.

496
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: He throws super over the top. I'm not saying like

497
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: Jonah Tong because nothing's like that, but it's about as

498
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: over the top as you could possibly get with that

499
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: big fastball. I'm excited to see what the Mets can

500
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: do with this kid because he feels like someone who

501
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: give him that three four whatever, how for long the

502
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: development is. Because he's a high schooler, I think the

503
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: Mets could really turn him into.

504
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: Something totally and lowman different also from Jonah Tong. Even

505
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: with a high release point such a big guy. He

506
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: gets the downward play in his fastball. Yes, we doesn't

507
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: have that when we talk about that like high Carrie

508
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: high verd fastball. He has more of a play tidwell

509
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: fastball call that like the steep fastball. The heavy fastball

510
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: will get on the hitters, but he does extend far

511
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: down the mounds, not super far considering his size, but again,

512
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: with that down we're playing, that's something that will work

513
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: better low in the zone. I even saw reports that

514
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: he was only in the upper eighties music junior in

515
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: high school and he put almost ten miles an hour

516
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: in his fastball in a year, which is someone that's

517
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: buzzing right now. And I do think he fell down

518
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: the draft because when someone's committed to a school like Missouri,

519
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: that definitely scares teams off. I could definitely see that.

520
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: But again, if you feel the need to pay up

521
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: to keep him, and you've afforded yourself the ability to

522
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 2: do so with lots of low slot players in this draft,

523
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 2: he looks like someone that could be another like two

524
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: three four year project and wind up with some crazy potentials,

525
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: like a mid rotation guy.

526
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about him a little bit, Todd McLoughlin.

527
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: We sign him for seventy five hundred dollars, which I

528
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: believe is one hundred and eighty thousand dollars underslot, so

529
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: Thatt's will definitely have some money to play with.

530
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: RVO all right before we.

531
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: Talk about him, though, Anthony Frabos short stuff from New York. Oh, hey,

532
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm good.

533
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: This was a good paison.

534
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: But he uh he, it looks like I'll tell you this.

535
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. His swing, it's they gotta change it.

536
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be what it looks like right now.

537
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: His foot hovers in the air. It just seems like

538
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: a guy who's like playing high school baseball in New Jersey.

539
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm better than everyone. There's a couple of good pictures

540
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: in the state, so I can have this kind of

541
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: big leg kick leg floats up in the air type thing.

542
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Obviously with more velo against professional pitching. I don't think

543
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna last. But he looks like a good athlete,

544
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: and the eggs of villos look good too.

545
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 2: Looks like a sick athlete. He's like uber uber athlete

546
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: was was his claim to fame. It's a canna for

547
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: an arm. It's really good footspeed's really good agility. But

548
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: I think that arm might carry him to being some

549
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: kind of picture in the metsist to think. So I

550
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: saw him being and I was like, I agree with you,

551
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: because it looks like a like a high it's a

552
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: high effort delivery, it's a max effort delivery.

553
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: He puts his whole body into the showcases just to

554
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: get to next. I was about to say he's a

555
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: combined warrior. He's a guy who's just like I'm at

556
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: a showcase throw ninety four. But do you think similarly

557
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: to the way that you talked about his swing, I

558
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: don't think the way he's pitching was optimized either. Like,

559
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: this is a big difference with these athletes that come

560
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: out of the high schools in the Northeast compared to

561
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: the South and the West Coast, where it's just.

562
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: You're not you're not gonna be as optimized for baseball.

563
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: He's committed to Ruckers. We'll see what happens there. But

564
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: this was just like an athletic piece of clay. I

565
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: think the Mets went after here.

566
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: If the Mets can't steal him away from Rutgers, I mean,

567
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm feeling a little I'm losing some faith.

568
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: I don't know the shortstop at Rutgers that's gonna that's

569
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: gonna be a good life.

570
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: It would probably be a pretty good life for him.

571
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. Then after that, like Mark mentioned before,

572
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: Tyler McLaughlin, a relief pitcher from Georgia again signed up

573
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: for seventy five hundred dollars one hundred and eighty thousand

574
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 2: dollars below his slot.

575
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: That's going to go to high school players with your

576
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: senior it's like, what do you want? Do you want

577
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: to go play baseball somewhere else? You can't? We got

578
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: you now?

579
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifth year senior who had like a five and

580
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: a half ERA as again as a senior at Georgia,

581
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: his team calls him mcleovin. So that's a fun things,

582
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: good personality, guy, vibe, guy, built.

583
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Like a brick shit house. This dude's like six three

584
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: two twenty five. He looks strong, looks like you can

585
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: play middle linebacker, and he's got.

586
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: Another low slot. Well the fastball touches ninety seven. Can't

587
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 2: believe that? Shock you guys shocked by that or not?

588
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: Ah, Summer, we almost forgot what hels like to play

589
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: just because, but even Summer needs back up, a little

590
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: partner in the good kind of chaos. Someone to bring

591
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 3: the kung fu kicks, yuh to train some dragons fly,

592
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: young dragon writer fly.

593
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 5: The kind of fun that keeps the days going. That

594
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 5: turns living rooms into playgrounds and reminds us what our

595
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 5: body is and our hearts were made for play That

596
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 5: moves you.

597
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: All Right, we've got a new type of player. They'll

598
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: coming in next Wyatt Vincent free outfielder, high schooler Missouri. Again,

599
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: a lot of Missouri in this draft. But what the

600
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: Mets we're doing over there? But hey, if it works,

601
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. We are pretty sure he's signing

602
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: with us.

603
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, We've had a report from Daniel Wexler, who

604
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: has a great He's always sourced on these Mets like

605
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 2: a minor league traft moves. Yeah, well, a exclusive from

606
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: Daniel Wexler, expectations he is ready to sign. Something else.

607
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: I love about Wyan's Vincent. Two things. One three sport

608
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: athlete in high school, a sick football player, wide receiver,

609
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: deep threat, gets down the feet. I saw one of

610
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: the tweets that he got at and eighteen touchdowns a

611
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: sophomore year, which is crazy. Also basketball player. He made

612
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: States in all three major sports, which is awesome. Another thing.

613
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: On May twenty eighth, presumably right after his high school

614
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: career ended, he tweeted, is that why advinton o six?

615
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: I think means he was born in two thousand and six, which.

616
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: Oh, he's definitely born in two thousand and six, which

617
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: he It's even old for some of the high school players.

618
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 2: His tragic probably has some of you guys born two

619
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: thousand and eight in this draft. But with the conclusion

620
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: of my high school career, I wanted to post my

621
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: career stats records where I stand in state records and

622
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: all my numbers. Here. They are two screenshots from the

Speaker 2: four ninety six OBP eleven hundred and ninety five OPS.

626
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: Posting the high school ops is fucking sick. He thirty

627
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: five hits, five doubles, four triples, five homers. This for

628

631
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: twenty eight dolen base is sixth homers posts. His career

632
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: slash at the end of that and then the next one.

633
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: His accolades as a baseball player in high school team

Speaker 2: nine at bats. It's incredible. This is fucking awesome. I

638
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: love that he did this. I'm gonna bookmark this sentence

639
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: to you, so it could be I'm the only book

640
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 2: mark in this tweet. Also, by the way, nice so

641
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: we can put this into the YouTube video so you

642
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: guys can see this one. But that's a dog move.

643
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, freak athlete. That's kind of his whole thing. Yeah, Like,

644
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: just think freak athlete. Hopefully it works out, figure out

645
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: how to hit or he plays like centerfield. No hope,

646
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure.

647
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: Another funny one. Kylie McDaniel, lee draft analyst and ESPN

648
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: formerly a fangress. He predicted his right up, I think

649
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: the Mets are going to draft Y Vincent.

650
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: That's he's an insane go.

651
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: He just said he had a feeling in trying to

652
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: project the Mets first pick. We projected to be a

653
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 2: pitcher who he ain't wind up taking. In the blurb,

654
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: he was like, I see why Vincent as a fit

655
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: to the Mets. Later down the board, funny.

656
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: Smashed it absolutely smashed. All right. Next up, true Truman

657
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: and Pauli crazy name people being named Truman he was

658
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: born in the two thousands, being named Truman's Crazy Harvard

659
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: David Stearns Harvard. Maybe a little connection there. I'll tell

660
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: you what the few pitches I've seen this guy throw

661
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: freak demon demon stuff, he's what five to eleven. I

662
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: think it comes from a smaller pitch in the frame,

663
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: but the fastball has got some crazy, crazy shit going

664
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: on with it.

665
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: No, this one got This one got Mets pitching Twitter

666
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: in a blaze because he average.

667
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: Ologies Truman Pauli is six foot two, two hundred I

668
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: misread it. Why Vincent's five eleven?

669
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 2: There you go. I might have been thinking of Camarillo

670
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: the next guy too.

671
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: Who is small, But no, Camarillo is big.

672
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: Oh, Camerono is big too. All right, there you go.

673
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: But so Truman Pauli twenty three inches of inverted vertical

674
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: break on his fastball from a low slot. It's fucking

675
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: nuts and it's in the low nineties, but that shape

676
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 2: makes it play. He's also touched ninety six with touching

677
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: ninety six at that shape with his extension his armslot,

678
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 2: that pitch will feel like ninety eight ninety nine. It

679
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: kind of reminds me a lot of Alex Vessiet. He

680
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: is bigger than Vestiet. Of course he's rity in Vessi

681
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: as a left ee, but Alex Vesi has carved, doubt

682
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: a sensational major league career for himself as a ninety

683
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: four mile and hour fastball guy, just because it is

684
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: the absolute quintessential perfect forceinge fastball shape.

685
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean Vessi is. And he was a

686
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: guy too who like grinded through high school, grinding through college.

687
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: Another dude who did not throw the ball hard when

688
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: he was first getting recruited and now is a premier

689
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: left handed reliever in Major League baseball, like you just

690
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: mentioned Truman Pauli. Though cool name Harvard. I think there

691
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: was like three or four guys drafted from Harvard and stuff.

692
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: This year baseball is kind of crazy, big ivy league

693
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: year for the Major League Baseball draft. But it's also

694
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: cool to see that again no rock goes unturned by

695
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: the Mets organization. Harvard, Missouri high schools, high schools in Wisconsin.

696
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: We got UC Santa Barbara up next. A little bit

697
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: of a bigger school, but still they're going anywhere. It

698
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're playing a big conference or not.

699
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: Frank Camarillo six before big guy. Another dude who's just shocker.

700
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: Great fastball on him. What do you guys think? Are

701
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: you surprised that he throws hard?

702
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: It's got a little slot, explodes out of his hand

703
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: like the Mets. Very clearly you have a type, and

704
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: we got one. We got someone from Jeff McNeil's I'm

705
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: My Mother. Nope, launch state. That was I thought these

706
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: were the dirtbacks. He's thee Santa Barbara, da.

707
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: Santa Barbara, I believe is the Gauchos.

708
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: Maybe, oh do sound right?

709
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

710
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Uh, Santa Barbara was Santa Barbara our boy bent Leutschten

711
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: or no he was Irvine.

712
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: No, he's just Ervine Beteleuschten legend, bet Leuschten. He deserves

713
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: to be in the tournament, an it legend. January hoops legend.

714
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: Shout out gambling day. All right. James Smith the fourth

715
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: next pick, I'm gonna say it simply, freak freak, six

716
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: foot five, lanky, incredible athlete, takes daddy hacks at the plate.

717
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: Two way player. I think if he comes to the Mets.

718
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: Because of this, one's still very much up of the air.

719
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: If he comes to the Mets, I think they're gonna

720
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: go to the pitching side with him, just because he

721
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: throws ninety nine miles an hour and he got hurt

722
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: playing the outfield this year, so I think they might

723
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: just be like, go pitch, you're a freak. But also

724
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: that bat, while the swing is long, definitely got some

725
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: juice of it.

726
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: He can just get hurt playing in the outfield. He

727
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: broke his leg into collision in the outfield right after

728
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: he's the lead, right after he transferred from I think

729
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: it was Northwest Mississippi Community College to Memphis, something like that.

730
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: But fastball up to ninety nine, good shape, good extension.

731
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: Seemed like he could have been a big riser this year,

732
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: which is a reason he might go back to school.

733
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: Because if he is healthy and actually camp pitch for

734
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: all season, I'm sure he gets drafted well ahead of

735
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: where he got drafted this time. But if the Mets

736
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: give him enough money, maybe just comes to the organization.

737
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: And again, this is another sensational ball of clay at

738
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: the Mets got. They can mold someone who would not

739
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: rise quickly in any way, shape or form, but someone

740
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 2: that since we have the depth, we could give him

741
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 2: his time, give him a few years. There's a lot,

742
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that could possibly happen with

743
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: James Smith the fourth.

744
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: All right, guys, we are onto our final six picks

745
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: here of the draft, round number fifteen. The Mets go

746
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 1: with Connor Where, a left handed pitcher out of LSU.

747
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: Shout out the SEC. He was a reliever pretty much

748
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: this year. LSU's got crazy pitching.

749
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: National champions.

750
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, national champions, still pretty good. Like a lot of

751
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: times with these loaded, loaded teams, the relief pitchers are

752
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: just guys that they're like, we don't have room for

753
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: you to start because we have three first round starting pitchers.

754
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: One of the cases with connor Ware came from Juco

755
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: as well, so he was a transfer in lefty fastball

756
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: sat mid nineties, good fastball guys.

757
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: Shocker who and that fastball touch ninety six from the

758
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: left side, which is a big deal. There's only like

759
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: six quali five pitches major League Baseball right now, starters

760
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: and the lefties who can touch ninety six. That was

761
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: in relief, so it probably trends down or we get

762
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: him the lab. Let that trend up. But big thing

763
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: is he has a hammer curve and a good change up.

764
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: Those are two things you love my left handed pitcher.

765
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: They have two p two neutral pitches, especially that change

766
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: up can be not well change up, not the two neutral,

767
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: but two pitches you can use against the right handed

768
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: batters who are going to be facing most of And

769
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: this gives me a similar vibe to Christian Scott, who

770
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 2: when we took him out of Florida, he got bumped

771
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: out of that rotation and got put in the bullpench

772
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: just because there were so many good starters. Bring him

773
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: to the lab. Let it work. And this is just

774
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: I love seeing that ninety six from a lefty with

775
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: a good change up like that that literally will never

776
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: ever ever go out of style. And we just keep

777
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: going down in the list, like keep being like, Damn,

778
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: I like this pick, Damn, I like this guy. Damn

779
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: I like that fastball. Like it's amazing how deep we're

780
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: able to go and how every single time we actually

781
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: have something good to say about these pitchers.

782
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: Another big guy too, six four two oh five, all right,

783
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: pitch number sixteen and the sixteenth round Zach Mack. First off,

784
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: electric name, Zach Mack. Are you kidding me? How does that?

785
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: How does that come together? Loyola Marymount University watched one

786
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: clip of him pitching. He threw a demon fastball in

787
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: on a hitter's hands to the right hand side and

788
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: shattered his bet.

789
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: No different guy.

790
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: Oh that was Joe Scarborough.

791
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: That was Joe Scarborough.

792
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Oh man, there's so many names, all right, apologies to

793
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: the Scarborough family. We'll keep that one for him. But

794
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: Zach Mack is, Oh, he's your Remy boy. Tell us

795
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: all about what Remy's got for us.

796
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: So, friend of the podcast, Remy Bunaeschevitz, Remy, I'm sorry

797
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: if I bought your name. But Remy is a pitching

798
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: consultant with Loyola Marrymount, so he's He had a big

799
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: threat about Zach Mack way back in Mage just about

800
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: his growth as a pitcher. He became a full time pitcher,

801
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: and spring of twenty twenty two he tear he tore

802
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: his UCL got Tommy Johnserho just after that May twenty

803
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 2: twenty two, became a full time pitcher and got tim

804
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: John surge At three months later. Just to give you

805
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: a sense of you know, modern pitching how that goes.

806
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: But he was a Juco guy. Checo guy San Jacinto

807
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: is that ch you think that's high school sand Sino

808
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: is a Juco. So he came there and Remy just

809
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: lauded him for great work. I think got right into

810
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: the lab with them, was trying out a bunch of

811
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: different pitches, added more carry to his fastball, experimental with

812
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: a giro a col a splither. The splither is the

813
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: pitch that they think has stuck, which again, like half

814
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 2: the pitches we mentioned the Mets took. This draft has

815
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: splows there, and Remy loves his competitiveness and a crazy

816
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: attitude on the mount a fire. Pitches with a fire

817
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: that I think we'd love to see, especially when you're

818
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: taking guys this late. And again that splither stuck, That

819
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: gyro stuck. Two pitches that are most people too neutral.

820
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: A fastball as trended upwards. Just again, someone who has

821
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: worked with some of these more advanced pitching ideas already

822
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: in college, came through Juco part of the champion right there,

823
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: and just pitches with intensity and fire. We're just we're

824
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: throwing darts at a border right now.

825
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: At these last picks. There's chances that some of these

826
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: guys never really do anything for us. It's high possible,

827
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: high chance, it's it's more likely that we'll never hear

828
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: of them at the major league level. But throwing darts

829
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: following the process, I like to see it. Sam Robertson

830
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: shortstop out of community college, went to Auburn his first

831
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: year out of high school, didn't play at all, transferred out.

832
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to sign him necessarily.

833
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: There's also not too too much right now on Sam

834
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: Robertson out there no not a time.

835
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: We know he's fast, he's athletic. Hopefully guy that they

836
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: think can stick a short stop, but one of the

837
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: players were not really entirely sure if they're going to

838
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: sign with us. So it's kind of the most he can.

839
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: But definitely some natural talent to work there. Got signed

840
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: off to Auburn out of high school.

841
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: Yes, Dylan Stiltner, Am I reading that correct? Dylan Stiltner stiltonre, Yeah,

842
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: this one is exciting. This was a two way prep player,

843
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: someone who again fell down the boy a lot. But

844
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: the BET's already because you don't really know if you're

845
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: going to be able to sign him. But he has

846
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: a fastball that got up to ninety seven miles an

847
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: hour that sits in the mid to alone nineties side

848
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: army three quarters slot and from an eighteen year old

849
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: another one similar we talked about with a Loman up top, easy,

850
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: easy delivery, easy velocity right there from someone who hasn't

851
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: even really grown into his body yet and for an

852
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: eighteen year old, a good feel for a tight slide

853
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: that gets up to eighty seven miles an hour some

854
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: real depth has shown a change up again as just

855
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: as a prep player who also hit regularly. Oh interesting,

856
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: He's committed to Chipola College, which Juco Powerhouse, one of

857
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: the best ducos in all of the country for baseball.

858
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: But you usually go to Chipola because you want to

859
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: get drafted be in the pros. Feels like the Mets

860
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: have a pretty good shot to get him this.

861
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: Guy, and again this skin keeps playing on the strategy

862
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: we've talked about the whole time, and the Mets sick

863
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 2: to two high floor guys at the top. They're gonna

864
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: be able to sign for just underslot who you can

865
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: probably penciland for double A next this time next year.

866
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: Basically with those two guys, Foy and Jimenez. Maybe at

867
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: least hy a Brooklyn at least gets to Brooklyn by

868
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 2: this time next year. And then you just take shots.

869
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: And these random guys. This duo's Stilton. There's never been

870
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: a full time pitcher. Looks like that's where he's going

871
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 2: to wind up, already touching ninety seven with a very nice,

872
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: easy repeatable delivery like that's it's a great ball of

873
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: clay you can start to mold.

874
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And a lot of the guys that they took,

875
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: like Camarillo, James Smith, Zach Mack, James Smith not so much,

876
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: but Jack Zach Mack, Joe Scarborough, who are about to

877
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: talk about Garrett Stratton. They're all fourth year guys as

878
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: well that are in there just overseason season, so they're

879
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: gonna be low slock guys, guys that are not going

880
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: to be getting paid big, big money. Speaking of Joe Scarborough, Okay,

881
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: this was the guy who broke the bat on the pitch. Yes,

882
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: because Jacksonville State shout out the other game Cocks. They

883
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: had two guys drafted in this draft for I think

884
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: the first time ever in their school's history, which is

885
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: kind of cool. He threw a fastball into a right

886
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: handed batter on Florida International broke his bat. When I

887
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: showed you it, we were like, that's an insane pitch.

888
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: That pitch looked ridiculous, and you're like, wait the metal

889
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: back those Oh my god, I didn't even think about that.

890
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: Shattered a metal bat on an inside fastball. And he's

891
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 2: another guy Lo low armslock out to ninety miles now

892
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: with his fastball, and that pitch was deem. He's releasing

893
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: it like here, it's like at his shoulder, like in

894
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 2: front of his shoulder, and just came right on that

895
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: hitter and shattered the back. Great great suite from Mike

896
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: Mayer that had that clip. But over and over again,

897
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: it feels like we're saying the same thing because we

898
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: kind of are the Mets are The Mets are seeking

899
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: the same pitch traits for seemingly every single guy they took,

900
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: and the same blend of like Mark said, these four year,

901
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: fourth year high school college players to then take shots

902
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 2: that either some three year college players, some high school players,

903
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: some community college guys from JUCO guys, they see some

904
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 2: more high potential traits in.

905
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Yes, and last guy that they took with pick number

906
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: six thirteen the twentieth round. Garrett Stratton right handed picture

907
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: out of Rice, Texas. Rice University Baseball Powerhouse. Rice was

908
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: great baseball school. Stratton, I believe was used mostly as

909
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: a reliever this year. I couldn't find too too much

910
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: stuff on him. Honestly, I saw like one clip and

911
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: it was like kind of sun glare blocked me from

912
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: seeing it.

913
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, another one also something that we kind of

914
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: saw a lot of guys who seemingly are smart. The

915
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: mess took in this draft. Guys who got good grades.

916
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: Rice is a grade school. Harvard's a greade school. I

917
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: think it was Tilly or Nathan Hall led their team

918
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: and had the highest GPA, and a.

919
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: Couple of them did. Garrett Stratton I think did too.

920
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: I think Camerrillo had like an insane GPA. Maybe all

921
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: academic teams. I don't know if that matters.

922
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: But I who can not a bad thing?

923
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: Right, can't be bad to be smart?

924
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: No, definitely can't be bad to get good grades in school.

925
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: But that was That was an in depth draft preview.

926
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: That was that was starting the minutes jam packed with information.

927
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: Most of guys that I'm sure no one ever heard

928
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: of a bunch of guys. I didn't here before a

929
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 2: couple of days going to start to prep for this.

930
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: But it's fun that we now have a forward thinking

931
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: front office that kind of understands the chips that they

932
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: have and are playing to their strengths doing things. You

933
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 2: see process building year after year with this mess front office,

934
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 2: which is exactly what we've literally always wanted. I've wanted

935
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: this from the Mets since I was nine years old.

936
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: Two thousand and five we signed Corls Beltron, I was like,

937
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: all right, so is this gonna be sustainable?

938
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: Now?

939
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 2: It's not actually what I said, But this is cool

940
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 2: that we're seeing this play out year after year, and

941
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: it's very fun to be able to kind of like

942
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: put ourselves inside the minds of the people making these

943
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: decisions and try and like short through the logic and

944
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 2: the fact that the logic is actually easily short through able,

945
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 2: Unlike in the past we were like what the fuck

946
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: is going on?

947
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: We're like, we're taking who We're going where we did

948
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, go back to some of the first

949

950

951
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: some sort of process as an organization, and it does

952
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: look like that David Surtons at least from the drafting side,

953
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: and I mean everything that we've seen this far, they've

954
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: got it under control in David Searns, we trust. Shout
