1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros MLB.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: It is me Joey b Joe Pi's Appia that of

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 2: course is the Welsh.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: And today we've got.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: A special audio only version of the MLB podcast over

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: at Fantasy Pros. We're going to be talking about the

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: MLB Draft that happened this weekend. And of course who

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: better at talk about this than the Welsh because he

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: is the host of Prospect One. He has gotten thrown

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: out of more Arizona Fall League bars then I don't

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: know some prospects that have had maybe Brett Laurie and

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: the Welsh. Those are the two guys who have been

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: thrown out of the most AFL bars in their life.

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: And we're Josh Hamilton maybe too lightly bring up Josh

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: Hamilton also too. Of course I was actually thrown out.

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 3: I was thrown out of an AFL stadium during COVID year. Well,

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: I was like a team threw me out while the

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: other team let me in. That's a fun restrictions and whatever.

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: This guy was like who are you and I was

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: like I'm the.

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Welsh and he's like, get at it.

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: Here almost verbatim on how it happened. But yes, I'm

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 3: very excited. I have done tons of coverage talk with

24
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: James Anderson on my Prospect one show I was doing

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 3: draft coverage for CBS. These guys are imprinted in my

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: brain and I have already stayed up multiple nights Joe

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 3: almost past two am making sure I have over seventy

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: five of these guys' rank for Fantasy so I am

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: more and well prepared. But there's a lot of good

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: and fun stuff to talk about with these dudes.

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: If you're a Dynasty player, you should be following the

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: Welsho on Twitter.

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: It is at the Welsh.

34
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: You should have absolutely be checking our Dynasty rankings over

35
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: Fantasy pros, and also go subscribe to Prospect one because

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: that is a heck of a show here and Welsh

37
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: does a great job. Let's talk about the Pirates with

38
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: the number one pick, Paul Skeens, your boy from LSU,

39
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: dominant college pitcher.

40
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: There isn't too much.

41
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: To say here except that, look, I mean, if you're

42
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Pirates and you want to take a shot

43
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: on who could be the guy who makes it to

44
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: the big leagues very quickly. We've seen these college pitchers

45
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: have a quicker path he was brilliant at LSU, brilliant

46
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: the College World Series, striking out everybody, and he has

47
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: got certainly big, giant upside at the major league level.

48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: So schemes, your evaluation, where he landed, What do you

49
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: think about him?

50
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we almost didn't think it was gonna happen. There

51
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: were lots of rumors that he was locked to Washington,

52
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: the Pirates might cut a deal. At the end of

53
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: the day, kind of everybody did right. The best top

54
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: five players went in the top five, maybe a little

55
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: bit of a different order. You know, for fantasy. I'm

56
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: really a very big dealing cruise guy, but you can't

57
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: go wrong with Paul Skeins, and I think in different

58
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: formats you could justify him being the number one first

59
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: year player guy points league A points pitchers makes sense,

60
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: doesn't walk big strikeouts. Even in maybe deeper leagues where

61
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: pitching is really held tightly, you could look at it.

62
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: The problem is pitching in fantasy is kind of a problem.

63
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: But you're looking at a guy fifteen point three k

64
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: per nine last year, struck out two hundred and nine

65
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: with a sub to era we had Lance Brosdowski. I

66
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: mentioned this in some other places. But he did an

67
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: awesome breakdown where he was able to give us some

68
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: underlying things we can't get in other places. Drive line

69
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: stuff plus numbers had a one thirty two on his fastball.

70
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: Stuff plus one hundred is the median average, so one

71
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: thirty two means thirty two percent better than average. One

72
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: thirty two stuff plus on his fastball, one twenty two

73
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 3: on his slider. His fastball touches one hundred and two.

74
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: He sits around ninety ninety nine and commands it better

75
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: than any other guy. Also attacks the zone. His slider

76
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: had a sixty six percent swinging with miss rate last

77
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: year in college, and fifty six percent on his change up,

78
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: which hits around eighty eight, probably because at fastball is

79
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: so dominant. Here's the deal. One of the best pitchers

80
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: we've seen in college and in the prospect world. He's

81
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: immediately going into my number one pitching prospect on my

82
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: fantasy board. He can come up sooner rather than later.

83
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: But he has a pitching prospect which makes him dangerous.

84
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: But he's a top three first year player guy in

85
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: any regard in fantasy, regardless of him being a pitcher.

86
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

87
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Well, the college pitchers usually I feel much better about

88
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 2: They tend to be a little bit more.

89
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: It's just the end of all.

90
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: He pitched a lot in games. That's what people were

91
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: worried about Joe one hundred and twenty. Every single outing

92
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: that has worried about the usage on his arm. But

93
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: I'm not going to focus on that.

94
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Understand me.

95
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: So the thing when I watch Skeen's pitch is, you know,

96
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: big legged guy, you know, good, powerful leg driven sort

97
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: of situation there where you look at the delivery and

98
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: watching him pitch, the delivery is very easy. It's not

99
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: a guy like I'm you see, some guys like Michael

100
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: Kopek always looked like he was giving everything he had

101
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: to get the.

102
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: Ball up to one hundred and one miles an hour.

103
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: Skeen doesn't look like that.

104
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: Skeens just kind of roars back and he's just firing

105
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: balls at you. And it's a very simple delivery that

106
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: he's got, which I also think is really interesting too.

107
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of extra movement here, very simple

108
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: to home plate.

109
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned the control has been very good.

110
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: But to me, I look at that and I don't

111
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: see a lot of issues where I'm looking at him mechanically,

112
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: and I'm worried about him breaking down early in his career.

113
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: And some pitchers you do, you do look at them,

114
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: and you look at the track record of the usage

115
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: and you get concerned.

116
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: One of the things that's interesting about what you're saying

117
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: just really quickly on him is he has an kind

118
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: of abnormal extension on how he throws. And that extension

119
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: it looks more similar to Bruce dark gaderol Hazu's Lozardo.

120
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: But what happened is this change when he went from

121
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 3: Air Force to LSU and in that change he added

122
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: velo a ton. He added over five miles per hour

123
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: on his slider in this new way that he's throwing.

124
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: So this is, though it's not a baseball optimized extension

125
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: of how he throws, it has optimized him. He does

126
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: make it look easy. It is repeatable, and he's a

127
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: guy to bet on and that's what, like you said,

128
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: everything works in a way that is optimized to the fullest,

129
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: and to see those big changes, he just kind of

130
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: want to bet on it. And you also know this

131
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: arm is going to be in the major sooner rather

132
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: than later.

133
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the number two pick. Here

134
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: to the Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Cruz. Some people thought

135
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: he might go number one overall ended up being Schiens instead.

136
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: People said that Cruz might not want to sign with

137
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh or may want to make them pay way over slot.

138
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: He slash four oh five, five forty five, six eighty

139
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 2: five with more walks than K's and that is a

140
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: tough thing to do for any young hitter. But another

141
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: ls you gem here that team was absolutely loaded. So

142
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: let's talk about Dylan Cruz. The upside clearly a very

143
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: high level grade he gets on a lot of things,

144
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: especially that hit grade looking at seventy along with the

145
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: power tools.

146
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: So what's your evaluation of Cruz?

147
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: You know, funny enough, there's not going to be an agreement.

148
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't think on the first year player in a

149
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: good way. There are three incredibly top heavy guys that

150
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: people are going to value, but people are going to

151
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: do it differently. I know some people have talked to

152
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: James Anderson at REALUIR. He likes White Langford because the

153
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: hit tool is viewed around sixty much bigger. Power had

154
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 3: a better slugging percentage than Cruise and runs a little

155
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: bit Cruise didn't really run a little a ton in college,

156
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: which you kind of wish he would a little bit

157
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: more because he only still six bases. He could steal more.

158
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: But I'm Dylan Cruse. Some will have Sciens, some will

159
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: have Langford. I'm Dylan Cruz. Nobody barrows up the ball

160
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: like him. He had a fascinating ninety five point seven

161
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: average exit velocity. That's the average on the ball major League.

162
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: That's usually around ninety or so. He barrels up the

163
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: ball better than anybody makes consistent contact. Is hitting opposite

164
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: field stuff one hundred and seven miles per hour more so,

165
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: it is optimized swing, pitch recognition, barreling. He doesn't strike out,

166
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: he walks. This is a complete package. I think the

167
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: floor is high. He could just be a twenty five

168
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: homer hitter, maybe ten to fifteen stolen bases while hitting

169
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: three hundred or I think he could go even higher

170
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: and he could be a guy that hits thirty homers,

171
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: steals twenty bases, hits over three hundred, one hundred and

172
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: hundred type of guy, second first round talent. I'm betting

173
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: on Dylan Cruiz because I think the floor is immense.

174
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: So he's my number one first year player.

175
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break in the action to tell

176
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: you about Fanimal.

177
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: I love live events, but I hate buying tickets the

178
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: hidden fees they suck. It's like paying for a whole

179
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: other person who's not even there to be there with

180
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: you at the event, and customer service is terrible, and

181
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: coordinating with friends as a nightmare. But then I discovered

182
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball,

183
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: you name it, and Major League Baseball. And plus there's

184
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: no fees. The price you see is actually the price

185
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,559
Speaker 2: you pay. What a concept. You heard it here first.

186
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get

187
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: MLB tickets. And we've all experienced how painful it is

188
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 2: to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always

189
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing

190
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they.

191
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Flake, I'm stuck with the whole bill.

192
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: But Fnimal's patentent group purchase makes it easy to split

193
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: payments with your friends, so nobody's left holding the bag

194
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: and you don't have to commit until your friends do,

195
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: so just pick the seats, pick how many tickets you

196
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: want to pay for yourself and then send the link

197
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: to your friends, and when you join your group, everyone

198
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: gets stared separately and your tickets are secured, so you

199
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: can stack cash by inviting friends ten bucks every time

200
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: someone joins your group.

201
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Catching baby.

202
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: So fanomal it has amazing customer service to don't take

Speaker 2: Check out fnimal and experience more and now back to

210
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: the action. Yeah, I don't I don't blame you for

211
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 2: thinking that too. It's funny when you look at his

212
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: swing too. I would say a smaller version of Paul

213
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 2: Goldschmidt in the sense that he's sort of get he

214
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: does get lower, right, He's a little bit yeah, but

215
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: you know he's not He's not as big as Goldschmid,

216
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: you know, standing there at the play in terms of

217
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: a timidation factor, but in terms of the way he

218
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: follows through with the two hands of the bat.

219
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: Some of that.

220
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that long center field power that he seems

221
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: to have to when you watch him, you see him

222
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: hit some of these balls where it's going out there,

223
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 2: you know, and that's one of those rare things. You

224
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: don't see a lot of guys who have that middle

225
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: of the field power, and usually it comes from a

226
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: guy who's that really you know, strong contact skills, but

227
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: strong legs and is able to really drive the ball

228
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: out there to dead center field.

229
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: That's a very.

230
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 3: Astute catch on your part, because I haven't heard people

231
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: talk about it I have.

232
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: I put the.

233
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: Comp in before Enosarus and I did a look and

234
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: actually this comp came up and I had said I

235
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: kind of like him to Brian Reynolds. Brian Reynolds has

236
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: similar max evs of one twelve. He had an almost

237
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: ninety two average exit velocity on the lead year this year.

238
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: You know, Homer's da da da, but Dylan Cruz is not.

239
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to mash the ball, which is just like

240
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: Paul Goldschmith. Paul Goldschmid is a doubles all all fields

241
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: contact type of guy and where.

242
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: You pitch it.

243
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: And that was one of the things I always loved

244
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: when I watched Goldschmidt early in his career. He was

245
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: one of those things like you throw down the middle,

246
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: he's going to hit it right back up the middle

247
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: of it.

248
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: And he's not trying to hit homers. He's not trying

249
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: to pull the ball and cruises the exact same way.

250
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: So that's in a stute catch on your part because

251
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: he is willing and trust his barreling to put the

252
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: ball anywhere it's And that's kind of where the question

253
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: is like what will that power end up looking like?

254
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: But I'm willing to make the bet and take the

255
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: safety and cruise where I understand some might want Langford

256
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 3: for the power.

257
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: Well, when you're looking at the rest of the top ten,

258
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: who stands out to you from this draft here?

259
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: Well, I mean White Langford obviously is going to be

260
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: one of the bigger safer tools. He's going to be

261
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: in the top three when you're looking at the top

262
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: ten of what was drafted. It's actually gonna be really

263
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: weird because the number six overall pick, Jacob Wilson from GCU,

264
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: people are gonna want to push him up. I have

265
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: him down near the twenties of my first year player.

266
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: He's a sixty to sixty five hit tool grade, but

267
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: he has absolutely no power, eighty three average exit velocity,

268
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: his max was one oh two in college. He just

269
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 3: doesn't He actually wanted a funny little comp It's kind

270
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: of like Luisa Rise high batting average, doesn't steal bases,

271
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: doesn't hit for power, can score runs, and he's with

272
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: the A's. So that's gonna be one of those guys

273
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put down of the players that we're taking

274
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: on the top ten. Though, high school pitching is dangerous,

275
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: but I love Noble Meyer, six foot five high school

276
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: pitcher taken by the Marlins. Huge fastball, can hit triple digits,

277
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: power slider. They took the best high school righty and

278
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: the high school lefty and Thomas White later, and they're

279
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 3: a great organization to develop pitching. It's very dangerous to

280
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: make bets, especially in fantasy, on high school pitchers. But

281
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: if he falls, especially like out of a first round,

282
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: I really like noble Meyer. I think he could be phenomenal.

283
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: But there's a lot actually more interesting talent Joe in

284
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: players that weren't taken in the top ten for fantasy.

285
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, the second half of my

286
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: top ten fantasy ranks did not go inside the top

287
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: ten of the actual MLB draft.

288
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Well, that's always the thing too.

289
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: You know, whenever we see high school players go, you know,

290
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: the path to the major leagues is longer.

291
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: It's more.

292
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: Downside ridden as well, because not only the injuries, but development,

293
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: the maturity level. There's so many things can go wrong

294
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 2: with an eighteen year old kid as opposed to a

295
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: twenty one or twenty two year old kid who's going

296
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: into professional baseball. And it's if you chart it, you

297
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: look at the success level, especially for pitchers, it's far less.

298
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: But you know, sometimes these organizations still want to go

299
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: down that well. You know, when I was looking at

300
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: White Langford, to me, the first guy here reminded me

301
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: right away it's a cop from the older days when

302
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: the nineties. But Tim Salmon is the guy that stood

303
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: out to me. Outfielder for the old California Angels and

304
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: then Los Angeles Angels. If Tim Salmon understood launch angle,

305
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: I think you would be White Langford.

306
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: That's what I see. Yeah, Wilangford bulked up.

307
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: He's I think a little bit smart.

308
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Funny fun fact was.

309
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: A big guy like Salmon was one of these bigger

310
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: guys too. But watching them, as soon as he comes

311
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: to the play, the first thing I thought was, man,

312
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: he reminds me of Tim Salmon.

313
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: And look, Tim Salmon.

314
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: Had a really good major league career and he was

315
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: he was an All Star player. He was an important

316
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: piece of those good Angel teams around that, you know,

317
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: early two thousands when they had their run to the

318
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: World Series and they beat the San Francisco Giants. But

319
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: to me, if you're gonna put a comp on a kid,

320
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: that's the one that makes sense.

321
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: For the The fun fact is actually worked with Tim Samon.

322
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: I did a voiceover session with him, had his email

323
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: and stuff, and he was a great guy. You know,

324
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: White Langford six foot one, he's a big, bulky guy.

325
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: Also was able to cut his strikeouts down. Rangers are

326
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: ecstatic about it, and that's why he's kind of in

327
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: the top ten. But like I was saying before, you

328
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: know out, I love Noble Meyer of the top ten

329
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 3: picks that was taken, also like reht Louder command pitcher

330
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: for the Reds. But there are three guys that were

331
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: outside the top ten that are inside my top ten

332
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: and first year player and those three players are Chase Davis,

333
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: who went to the Saint Louis Cardinals, Matt Shaw, who

334
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: went to the Chicago Cubs, and Tommy Troy, who went

335
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 3: to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Chase Davis might have one of

336
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: the most beautiful swings in this draft, one of the

337
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: most projectable hit tools. Doesn't run quite enough, but hits

338
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: the ball really, really hard, and he's like my number six.

339
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: Matt Shaw is a big match on Tommy Troy. Actually

340
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: very similar. They both steal bases. Tommy Troy was seventeen

341
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: seventeen homer stolen base. They both hit the ball really hard,

342
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: they both don't strike out a bunch of middle infielders,

343
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: and they're going to the Cubs and Diamondbacks, which I

344
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: really love. Those guys are inside my top eight and

345
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: those guys went respectively, twelve and thirteen. Tommy Troy went

346
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: to the Diamondbacks at twelve and Matt Shaw at thirteen.

347
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: Fun fact, Tommy Troy was actually listed as a short

348
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: stop as well as Matt Shaw, where they both played

349
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: some second base and third base. Those are gonna be

350
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: great fantasy assets because there's big floor stolen base five

351
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: tool potential. Yet people might overlook them because they didn't

352
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: go in the top ten of the actual draft.

353
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: Let's run through those top ten of yours right now

354
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: that you've got. So if you're heading into you know,

355
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: the offseason here in the dynasty leagues and you're looking

356
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: at the rookie draft, what does this class in terms

357
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: of the top ten Welsh prospects look like?

358
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we're trying to decipher this for fantasy and

359
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: not just like what you know happen right.

360
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: We want guys who are going to make an impact

361
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: the next two to three years, not the next five

362
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: to six years, because that is a long time to

363
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: wait sometimes for a lot of places. And granted, we

364
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: are getting these guys who get up to the big

365
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: leagues now in two years, who are you know, eighteen

366
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: nineteen years old, And we're seeing these guys jump from

367
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: A ball to Double A in the same year and

368
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: their rookies in their first season in professional baseball. So

369
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: it's it's incredible the pace these guys are at. And

370
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: it's because they're getting better instruction, they're playing year round.

371
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: They're also you know, going.

372
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: Through these development, especially at the college level, such a

373
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: more competitive game than it was even ten fifteen years

374
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: ago with some of these prospects that are coming through there.

375
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: So I think there's every reason to be excited about

376
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: some of these younger prospects, the guys who are straight

377
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: out of high school. But at the same time, we're

378
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: talking fantasy. We want guys that can help our teams

379
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: win sooner than later. But what does that top ten

380
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: board look like for you?

381
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll tell you my fantasy lists are built

382
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: around three years, but I also look at it from

383
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: full dynasty, so I value I will value younger guys

384
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: still very high. But I'm going to give you a

385
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: cave about the end. I'll throw a couple of players

386
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: if you want to excuse the high school players. So

387
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: here's my top ten in first year player Dylan Cruz,

388
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: White Langford, Paul Skins. That's the top three that is

389
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: a tier in itself. The next tier of value is

390
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: Max Clark, who is a true five tool player, huge speed,

391
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: good contact, Quadzilla call him hardest working guy in this draft,

392
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: optimized player high school to the Tigers. He's number four.

393
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: Walker Jenkins with big powers number five. But even though

394
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: I put them in a tier, you could justify for

395
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: just what you said, proximity wise, you might want to

396
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: take the college guys over high school because number six, seven,

397
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: and eight on my list are Chase Davis, Matt Shaw,

398
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: and Tommy Troy. I wouldn't argue if you wanted them

399
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: over the high school players. Number nine and ten, against

400
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 3: my better judgment, are pitchers Noble Meyer at the high

401
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: school guy and Rhet Lauder out of Wake Forest, who's phenomenal,

402
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: incredible change up, big command. But I will give you

403
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: these last little tidbits. If you didn't want to mess

404
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: around with noble Meyer, you want guys to help you now,

405
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: you should look at Enrique Bradfield, fastest player in the

406
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 3: draft at a Vanderbilt going to Baltimore, who absolutely does

407
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: an incredible job with these players. He just needs to

408
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: add power to be elite. Brock Wilkin went to Milwaukee.

409
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: He's my number thirteen prospect, huge power, walks, doesn't strike out,

410
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: maybe the biggest power in this draft. That's a guy

411
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 3: that you could take a look at. And Braden Taylor,

412
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 3: who was a shortstop to Tampa Bay. Those are three

413
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: college guys that you could look at that could be

414
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: top ten. If you're not going to value either a

415
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: pitching or some of those high school But I will

416
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: tell you there is crazy good value in the second

417
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: and third round of first year player. So pay attention

418
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: because there is a lot of production to be had

419
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: because we saw a college uptick in value in the

420
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 3: draft where more college guys were going than ever before

421
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: over some of thesehigh school players, which means proximity, and

422
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: that's kind of what we're looking at with fantasy outside

423
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: of just the long term value.

424
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up Max Clark because I like

425
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: him a lot. He has incredible batspeed. He again Harper esque.

426
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: You know when you look at the way Bryce Harper swings,

427
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: the way way Bryce Harper comes down on the baseball,

428
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 2: follows through the power and balance of the legs in

429
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 2: the lower half too.

430
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: When you watch Max Clark hit, he's got that same thing.

431
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: You could tell this kid grew up watching a lot

432
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: of Bryce Harper, Like there's just no way he didn't.

433
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's a carbon copy. He's a little

434
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: smaller than Harper, but physically speaking, very strong, especially for

435
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: his age. I mean, this is a kid who goes

436
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: to the gym. As you said, like you could tell

437
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: there's power, their strength there. But to me it's also

438
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: you know, he keeps the hands back, he comes through

439
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: the ball, and then you know, watching highlights, if he

440
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: gets fooled, he's got such good balance.

441
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: There's a couple of times I'm watching some.

442
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: Of the highlights of him, you'll see him get full

443
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: of the pitch and he'll end up hitting a single

444
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 2: to left field.

445
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna interrupt him. I think it's so incredible for

446
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: him because, look, young hitter.

447
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: You are doing a very good job. Because something I

448
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: noted on CBS, I noted everywhere is just what you

449
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: said that I find interesting about him is he's a

450
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 3: smart enough player. And I don't know what it is

451
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: because you're you're watching highlighted video. Sometimes if it is

452
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 3: adjustment live to the pitch or pre pitch approach, but

453
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: exactly what you said is so smart that I have

454
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: seen him do a bunch. Is he can spray the

455
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: ball to the opposite field, he can come across his body.

456
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: Sometimes he can go heavy pull where his swing gets

457
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: more uppity and he's pulling, or he can shorten his

458
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 3: swing for more doubles power down left center. So those

459
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: are that's kind of a Corbyn Carroll esque thing. I

460
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: don't think he's anything like Corby Carroll, but I think

461
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 3: he's just start enough hitter that he more likes those adjustments.

462
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: He's more like Harper physically speaking in terms of his approach. Oh,

463
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: he's got a little at swag too, like which I

464
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: really like. I like it a lot. He's got a

465
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: lot of splag, a lot of bravado when you watch

466
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: him play. But also so like I said, that's a

467
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: key thing for young player. It's like, you know, don't

468
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: always watch the balls that he hits out of the ballpark.

469
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: Show me the app bats where he gets full and

470
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: still you know, hits a double in the left field

471
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: gap opo. That impresses me about a young hitter. But

472
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: in terms of physically speaking to eventually, this guy as

473
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: he grows into frame could be a really good player

474
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: because he's because he's got good speed too obviously as well,

475
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: but there's power, there's balance in the swing, good hands,

476
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: incredible bat speed. I'm glad you brought up Clark because that,

477
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 2: to me is the guy that as I'm watching more

478
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: and more of him, the more I like And look,
