1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: It's been a minute, but it's time for us to

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: rank our top ten prospects in the Mets system. We've

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: been teasing you guys this for a while after the

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: trade deadline, after everything that's gone down. Mets have a

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: pretty good farm system still, so we want to go

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: through and give you guys our top ten prospects in

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: the Mets farm system as of right now time of recording,

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: August fifteenth. Some quick stipulations, you can't have made an

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: appearance in the Major League, So Nolan McLain at the

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: time recording hasn't pitched yet, he'll be on this list.

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: But guys like Christian Scott, Luis an Helakunya, those types

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: of players will not make this list. And I don't

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: think even Acunya technically qualifies for it anymore. But James Truld,

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: we just get started. You want to want to get

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: us going because I think we know exactly who's gonna

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: be coming in at number one.

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's no debate right now as to who the

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: Mets number one prospect is. It's Carson Bench, outfielder from

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma stage where they just drafted last season, who's taken

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: the entire prospect minor league baseball world by storm like.

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: Not only is he the Mets absolute I think clear

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: top prospect, he's become something that's some a top ten

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: prospect in baseball almost with that debate at this point, Yeah.

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean benj is just dominated every level he's been

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: at this year. He has a one to seventy two

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: wrc plus across three different levels. It's very small at TRIPA,

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: but across three different levels has a one to seventy

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 1: two wrc plus this year. It's one of the highest

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: in all of minor league baseball. He's walking fourteen percent

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: of the time. He's striking out less than twenty percent.

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: The average for the average people is over three hundred,

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: the ops is over nine hundred. He's hitting for power

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: to the eggs and wheelers are great. He can play

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: center field. This is a battles a complete of prospect.

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: Is the Mets have had it a very long time.

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: I think that this is the best college bat the

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: Mets have had that they've brought through the system I

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: can ever remember, truthfully. So he's gotten some comps to

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: Michael Confour the recently people are like see someone of

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: the Confour though Michael confour though he can't even hold

41
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: Carsion Bench's drops back jockstrap compared to what he's done

42
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: so far in the minor Leagues' year after being drafted,

43
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: Carson Bench went to Brooklyn this year, a very tough

44
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: place for left handed hitters to hit fine power, nine

45
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: hundred ops and sixty games. Then he went up to

46
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Binghamton for thirty two games thousand o ps, so going

47
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: up a level again. While the atmosphere conditions were a

48
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: little more favorable, he got better. And now he's already

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: in a year after being drafted, we're hearing rumblings that

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: he might be the best opening day center fielder in

51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. And everything happening under the hood is

52
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: as good, if not better than the things we're actually

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: seeing on the surface level. We have a great, great

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: stat from Lance Prastowski some double A batted ball data

55
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: ninety three point three average mile per hower average exit

56
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: VLASI and his fly balls in line drives with the

57
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: league average eighty eight miles per hour. That ninety three

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: point three average egxs velosity on flyballs line drives same

59
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: as Kyle Tucker the major league level.

60
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: Ooh, kind of a good player.

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: Right, another left handed outfield bat, and there were some

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: concerns with bench as to how much he could pull

63
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: r lift the ball. That was kind of the main

64
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: thing that held him back in the draft, made people

65
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: think that was kind of like a more of a

66
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: branded Nemo adjacent type of ceiling. But he's doing both

67
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 2: of those way better and we just drafted them a

68
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: year ago. And another big question for benj was he

69
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: was a corner out fielders like Canny play centerfield because

70
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: you're a corner outfielder, a lot more of the pressure

71
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: goes onto your bat without that much defensive value. Everything

72
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: that we're hearing about him in the center field this

73
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: year is great that you can actually handle it major level,

74
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: better jumps, better routes, like it's all come together beautifully

75
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: to turn him into like a literal super prospect.

76
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I simply think if you don't have Carson Benche

77
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: is the best prospect in the system, It's like, what

78
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: are you looking for?

79
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: What kind of baseball are you watching? He is you

80
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: have to do? Yeah?

81
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: What does he have to do to make you think

82
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: that he is not just the best prospect of the

83
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: Mets system? Like you mentioned earlier, he is one of

84
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: the ten best prospects in baseball, like real prospect people,

85
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: not looking at pipeline, like look at Baseball America and

86
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: other stuff like.

87
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: Those people have him with some serious, serious helium this year.

88
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: Perspectives as well, and there has been some talks this

89
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: year from those prospect people that this is right now

90
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: a relatively weaker group of top one hundred, top fifty prospects,

91
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: but at this moment he's top ten prospect. We're not

92
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: gonna play in the margins game with that. Another cool

93
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: thing with Bench, we talked a lot about how the

94
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Mets have had to get creative with their draft processes, just.

95
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: The way to go about it.

96
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: Just because we get we lose the pick every single

97
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: year we go back tense because of the CBC the

98
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: fourth threshold penalties.

99
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: Benj is a former two way player.

100
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: Nolan McLain, who are going to talk about later, former

101
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: two way player Mitch Voyd, who I don't know if

102
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: he made your list, He didn't exactly make mind. He's

103
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: going to be Moneri mentions another former two way player. There's

104
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: a lot of unexpected runway in these former two way players.

105
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: When you're splitting your time between pitching and hitting, and

106
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: then you start to only do one of those things,

107
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: you can do a lot of development quickly. So we're

108
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: talking about Carson Bench's bad at ball quality going up,

109
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: his swing decisions staying great, his directional ability on his

110
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: bad the balls going up, and his defensive ability going

111
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 2: up at the same time. You can speed run development

112
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: because this player has never focused on all those things

113
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: at the same time before. And I think that while

114
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: the Mets have had to get more creative, that's an

115
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: avig they've gone down.

116
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: That's one that's been a resounding success. No, Carson Bench

117
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: feels like an absolute home run right now. Both of

118
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: our number one prospects in the system, I got a

119
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: feeling we're both gonna have the same number two as well,

120
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: so I went with Jonahtong.

121
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 3: Yep, same Jonah Tong number two.

122
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he is quickly becoming maybe the best pitching

123
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: prospect in all of minor league baseball, which is not

124
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: even crazy to say at this point. The strikeout rate

125
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. He's already a triple A as a twenty

126
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: one year old. Everything that you see from this kid

127
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: day twenty two, day in and day out just makes

128
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: you believe that he's not just one of the best

129
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: pitching prospectors baseball, a guy who could be a frontline

130
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: starter for this Mets team in the future.

131
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: It's also cool been watching the growth and the way

132
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: that he's gotten the national media this season, because it's

133
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: so deserved, because he did this last year and it

134
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: started to kind of get into the minds and the

135
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: feeds of all like the prospect people. But now this year,

136
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: having the most strikeouts in Double A by forty four

137
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: strikes over the next closest guy, someone who we're going

138
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: to talk about later weird enough, at least I'm going

139
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: to talk about, but also having a forty percent strikeout

140
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: rate at the time beginning of the season, twenty one

141
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: year old double A like you said, in one hundred

142
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: innings one point five to NINETYRA looked despicably good in

143
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: the futures game, striking out Harry Ford, who's a tu

144
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: much more developed older prospect than Joanna Tongue with a

145
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: very advanced of played discipline thirty percent strikeout minus walk right,

146
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: which is ten percentage points closest of the next closest

147
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: guy in Double A two.

148
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: Another guy we're going to talk about.

149
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: It's just it's disgusting how much better he was than

150
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: every pitcher at that level this season and at the

151
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: same time growing literally as a human being. Jan Tong

152
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: was always like this little wiry guy. He's gotten comps

153
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: to to Tim Linsigam, which is funny because he has

154
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: this big side winding overarching winds up like that. I

155
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: put up the freeze frame on my Twitter few weeks

156
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: ago about them how much he extends his legs upwards

157
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: where he kind of looks like a figure scanter at times.

158
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: He got one hundreds thousand impressions to people are like,

159
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: who's this a little freak? But he also at the

160
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: same time has pushed up as velocity this season. He's

161
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: out to ninety nine. He was someone who the pitch,

162
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: the fastball shape was so good at the top of

163
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: the zone from his really high release, like twenty one

164
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: to twenty two inches of induce very the goal break

165
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: that he could live in the ninety four to ninety

166
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: five range where he was. Now he's throwing ninety nine.

167
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: It's like, what else, what else does he have to do?

168
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I not anything for me.

169
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sold he might be one of the five

170
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: best pictchers in this best organization right now. I don't

171
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: think they're gonna call him up, but I think it'd

172
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: be hard to find six better guys than him right now.

173
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: Oh definitely, because he's also made more changes this year.

174
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: We always talked about how we needed the third pitch

175
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: because he had the fastball in the curve ball. Now

176
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: he has the change up that people think is plus plus.

177
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: Another great shout from Lance Broz getting his minor league data.

178
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: That change up has a forty six percent zone mis

179
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: rate since beginning of June, twenty seven percent is league average.

180
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: So even when that pitch is in the zone, people

181
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: are just swinging and missing about half of the time.

182
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: And it tunnels so well with that fastball just because

183
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: the high release point, the change up just kind of

184
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: falls down off of it, like it's amazing.

185
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: Even if you go all the way back since.

186
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: The beginning of twenty twenty four, mixed between low way

187
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: high A, then even getting into double A beginning of

188
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: that season, two hundred and fifteen innings, three hundred and

189
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: twenty two strikeouts, two point three four yr. That is

190
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: just like blinking lights, Holy shit, this guy's ridiculous now,

191
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: We're about to get data a triple A and just

192
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: a big test to see if he can throw more

193
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: strikes eleven percent.

194
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: Walk rate is high, but he still strikes everybody out.

195
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: And then see if he gets similar pitch movement with

196
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball base ball that they use in

197
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: Triple A.

198
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really excited to see what we get out

199
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: of Jonahtong in his first couple starts down in Syracuse.

200
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: Well, I guess up in Sarah use of triple A.

201
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: All right, number three? Is it the same guy again?

202
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: Or is not? Noel McLain jet Ooh, okay, I went

203
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: Nolan McLean? Interesting? All right, so I went jet fod

204
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: did you go McLean for? Okay?

205
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: So let's just talk about you want to start, Uh,

206
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: let's start with McLain because McLain's top of everybody's mind

207
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: right now, heading to the Mets pitching. Today's video's coming

208
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: out Saturday. So he's pitching, making his major league view amazing.

209
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: He's gone some great pub On Twitter on Friday, as

210
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: Ino Saras said he had the best stuff plus of

211
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: any big prospect in Triple A. Lance Prostowski said because

212
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: the depth of repertoire and the type of spin he

213
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: gets in his pitches. Might actually be the best pitching

214
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: prospect in the league right now is not being talked about,

215
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: and I think there's a chance that's true, while also

216
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 2: understand it. I'm in a weird spot right on Nolan

217
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: McLain where I'm so excited from the pitch. I think

218
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: he's going to be really good, but I'll almost be

219
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: mad if he's dominant because of how long we've waited

220
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: to pitch him this season.

221
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: No, this is like such a weird thing that I

222
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: think only US Mets fans will ever understand and be

223
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: able to explain. Where he pitches, Well, you're like, shit,

224
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: why hasn't he been up earlier? He could have helped

225
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: this team? He pitches poorly?

226
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 3: Like shit, what do we do? What goes on?

227
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: He hasn't okay, he hasn't okay. Start, You're like, shit,

228
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: what's the deal with him? What kind of picture is he? Like?

229
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: There's there's almost I mean, obviously we're gonna be happy

230
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: if he touched well, I want that to be very clear.

231
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna be like, wow, this is amazing. But the

232
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: little Met crazy fan in the back of my head

233
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: will be like should have been up in June, should

234
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: have been up in July. We really needed this guy.

235
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: He has the ability to be very good. But as

236
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: we say on every podcast, especially with these young players,

237
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: we don't want them to be the saviors. That's a

238
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: lot of pressure for a guy who's coming into a

239
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: pretty intense situation right now.

240
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: Intense and hostile, basically being tasked to save this rotation

241
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: after they've been other turbo dog shit for two straight

242
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: months now. But there's something cool about McLain we mentioned

243
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: in the last episode of the podcast if you guys

244
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: listen to that after the horrific Brave series. But still

245
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: much we talked about with Bench. A lot of developments

246
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: happened quickly because he stopped hitting the beginning of last season.

247
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: This is this is Nolan McClain's first year ever pitching

248
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: full time, not getting in, not getting the box and

249
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: taking hacks. So while that's happened that Met's new as

250
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: a fastball was not a good fastball guy with a

251
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: sweeper like he's going to be some struggles against left

252
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: handed batters. He's added a color and a curveball and

253
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 2: a changeup. Also, the repertoire over the last year. The

254
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: curveball especially looks like it has the chance to be

255
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: like a plus plus plus plus plus pitch, like it

256
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: has plus drop, it's getting fifty percent with frey TRIPLEA,

257
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: like it has everything.

258
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: He just doesn't know.

259
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 2: If he's he's gotten the consistency with that pitch yet

260
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: no one where's going to be where the major league

261
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: hiers can't see it coming from a mile away. And

262
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: he's got a sinker that's a better pitch than his

263
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: fastball that will be just decimate the rities with that

264
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: sweeper like it's it's a chance to be special, but

265
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: there's also a chance for a roadblock against left handed

266
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 2: batters initially, of course, So that's something that we will

267
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: definitely monitor to keep a close eye on, and we'll

268
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: see how he does against the Mariners today. You guys

269
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 2: are literally listening to this podcast. He's going to be

270
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: pitching in a few hours or currently, or he pitched already.

271
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: Whatever time you watch this, we will have some information

272
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: on Noel McLain. Jet Williams Now the guy that I

273
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: had four you had three, just simply but he's just

274
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: still a dog. He's just still really good hits for

275
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: a high average, gets on base a ton still strikes

276
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: out a little bit, but like also because he gets

277
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: on base so much, who really cares. I mean, if

278
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: I told you that Jet Williams strikes out a little

279
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: bit more than you'd expect, but had a two to

280
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: eighty four average, a four hundred on base basically on

281
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: the season, you'd be pretty excited.

282
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: You'd be pretty pumped. Plays good shortstop. His ISO is

283
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: like weirdly high too. He's got pop in that bat.

284
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: I think that's always the thing that people get nervous

285
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: about when you see a smaller player like Jet. But

286
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: he hits the ball extremely hard, and he hits it

287
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: in the air, and he hits for power. He's awesome.

288
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Like these four guys that the Mets have, these guys

289
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: are all inside like the top thirty forty prospects in

290
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: Major League base for sure.

291
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: That's how much better this system is now.

292
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: The next few guys will name are also probably still

293
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: sneaking inside the top fifty to top seventy five. Like

294
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: the depth of the system right now puts the Mets.

295
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: I think Pipeline even just ranked them as one of

296
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: the top ten systems in baseball. I think they were

297
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: number seven, and I think even some other outlets might

298
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: have stretched him little higher. But Jets played three games

299
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 2: so far as triple exit velosity of one hundred and

300
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: eight hundred and seven one hundred, five hundred, four hundred,

301
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: three hundred, two hundred and one. That seven balls a

302
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: hard one hundred one miles power with just three games.

303
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: That's a lot of hard hit baseballs in the first

304
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: three games at a new level, one of those of

305
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: the single A from this year in a rehab start.

306
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: So still six, still six this year above one hundred

307
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: one miles an hour in just three games of triple A.

308
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 3: It's a great sign.

309
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: And there are some concerns that the strikeout rate ticks

310
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 2: up a bit as he goes up a level, and

311
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: maybe the walk rate doesn't come with him. But also

312
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: he's played three games triple A hasn't struck out yet.

313
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: If he can just even maintain a twenty five to

314
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: ten percent strikeout, Ray Walk Ray with his power, with

315
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: his speed, with his defensive ability, him and bench have

316
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: both been mixing in the centerfield and triple A, so

317
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: it's going to be funny to see how they navigate

318
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: the playing time for those two guys. But this is

319
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: a This is a premium defender with plus plus athleticism,

320
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: legitimate power, like it's even for his size, like lifts

321
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: the ball, pulls the ball, like if you where they

322
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 2: tell me right now, the guy who's number one overall

323
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: picking the last draft, Travis Pizanda versus Jet Williams.

324
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: There's a conversation there.

325
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: I think there's totally a conversation, especially because Jet plays

326
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: short up in centerfield and Banzan is a second baseman.

327
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't, I don't.

328
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't truly know what Bizona does much better than

329
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Jet Williams to be honest, and.

330
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: Like both probably top out as like a fifteen to

331
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: twenty homer guy. Yes, and Jet maybe gets a lower

332
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: average but the higher end base percentage, so it's like

333
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: and steals more positions.

334
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like he's just really good.

335
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: I think, like we always used to joke about how

336
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: Jet was gonna be the guy that they traded. I

337
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: think David Sturton's guy here is we can't trade this guy.

338
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: Have you seen him? He's a beast. We can't get

339
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: rid of this guy.

340
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: Also, a lot of Mets fans have become obsessed with

341
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: the Brewers success. Just given the connection with David Stearns, the.

342
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: Brewers are littered with guys like this.

343
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: The whole Brewers team plays like Jet Williams, like Caleb

344
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: Durbin's a worseret Cale Debbins's the worst version of Jet Williams,

345
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: like South Freelick, like all of these guys are different

346
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: versions of this, like Jet Williams archaetype.

347
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: And they like don't hit for the power that Jet

348
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 3: has not even close.

349
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 2: Jet Williams actually can hit twenty home runs the major

350
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: league level, like we've seen him get to like the

351
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: one hundred eleven eggs of Velossi thresholds. He gets one

352
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: triple A, it's like one hundred and twelve, it's totally on.

353
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: We can have a twenty five homer back here. It

354
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 2: plays premium sense with incredible swing decisions and some of

355
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: the best speed in the league.

356
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: If Jet hit one hits one one twelve, we're probably

357
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: looking at another top ten prospected base.

358
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that's simple.

359
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: We're throwing a part of you, and you know, if

360
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: you can maybe just shortens up the swing and becomes

361
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: a contact guy with twelve homers and plays premium defense

362
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: like there's there's so many avenues for a guy like

363
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: Jet Williams to find success that I'm just I'm just

364
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: confident that it happens weirdly enough. The dog days of

389
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: you have at number five? I got Brandon spro number five?

390
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Op Rightdon Spro too? Man, what an interesting podcast. We

391
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: just agree on everything.

392
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: I think we'll there'll be some less agreements as we

393
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: go further down this list. I think this Mets top

394
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: five is chalk. Yes, it's hard to kind of deviate

395
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: very much from what we had here. Again, the slight

396
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: rankings in the middle were different, But I mean, he's

397
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: while brand Sprots had a bad season, like, he's still

398
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: considered by all accounts, in all measures, a good, solid, sturdy,

399
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: future major league middle rotation starting pitcher, and almost no

400
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: doubt about that. We thought that there was that top line,

401
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: front line intentional on it. A lot of people in

402
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: the industry through cold water on that. Of course, they

403
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: are right. Hats off to them at but you know

404
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: what brandis. Pros still has a lot of things in

405
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: his bag that that happened some point in his career.

406
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: I would not be shocked.

407
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And over the last few months he's made major

408
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: improvements at Triple A. He'd hit a bit of a snag,

409
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: he'd hit a bit of a roadblock. It had been

410
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: giving him trouble. You've mentioned on podcasts before it couldn't

411
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: get left handed batters out. But now that he's made

412
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: these adjustments over the last month or two, we're seeing

413
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: that kind of excitement that we once had with sprot

414
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: last year where it's like, oh, he's mowing guys down,

415
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: he's striking people out, people are not hitting, getting good contact,

416
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: he's not giving up runs, he's going deeper into games.

417
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Sprote is still at very, very good player. It's it's

418
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of prospect fatigue almost at times.

419
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: All Right, we're working on now an eight star stretch

420
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: from Sprote. After again, he had a six r right

421
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: through his first two months of Triple A season.

422
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: It was bad.

423
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: After hitting a bit of a roadblock, towards the end

424
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: of last season, which again that dampens the ace potential.

425
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: And we're about to go through the same thing with

426
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: Tong right now. But now watching him with a thirty

427
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: percent strikeout rate over his last eight star to two

428
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: point one three era getting those left handed batters out,

429
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: the swinging ma is coming back, still getting near the

430
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: ten percent walk right, but still sill, not walking a

431
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: ton of guys like you're seeing, Like, Okay, this is

432
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: again still should be considered at least one of the

433
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: top one hundred prospects in baseball.

434
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: I've seen him drop off the top one hundred lists recently,

435
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: and I still.

436
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: Don't think that's fair considering the guy throws one hundred

437
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: miles now with the pedigree that he put forward in

438
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: Double A and now doing it for a little bit

439
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: period of time in Triple A.

440
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: Again, Yeah, I think he's definitely around that ninety to

441
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: one hundred range right now. If he were doing a

442
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: top one hundred prospects in baseball, that's kind of where

443
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: I would put him. And I do think there's one

444
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: hundred miles now. It helps a lot with five other

445
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: pitches coming off that. Yeah, and that's just because we've

446
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: had seen the roadblock. We just need to see more

447
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: of the good stuff again, which he had done at

448
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: every other level. Sometimes it takes a second. It's okay,

449
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Sprot doesn't need to be an ace today on

450
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: August fifteenth.

451
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: I mean to help. We don't need it.

452
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: And we just know how much that these organizations, especially

453
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: the Mets, give these guys quickly, how many things they're changing.

454
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: Brits brought especially, They've helped them develop this sweeper that

455
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: looks like, just visually one of the nastiest pitches of

456
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: any pitcher that we have in the minor leagues, and

457
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: that pitch this year is the thirty five percent with

458
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: for a trump Blay like it's disgusting. But when you

459
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: give guys new pitches, change grips, change things like you

460
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: can change armslots a little bit. It forced Broke to

461
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: lose a bit of the feel of the change up

462
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 2: in currveball that he was even able to use as

463
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: a college pitcher. That's why I specifically was so excited

464
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: about Spro coming up, because he had such advanced field

465
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: in the lower level of the minders that you don't

466
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: see from pitchers. But then getting that possibly sixty seventy

467
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: great pitch on a sweeper is worth it to see

468
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 2: if then you can find those other pitches off again

469
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: and over this last month, as he's been better against lefties,

470
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: we've shouted this out in the podcast before, he's found

471
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: a better feel again for that change up in curveball

472
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: while maintaining that great sweeper shape up to ninety seven

473
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: ninety miles an hour with a fastball in the sinker

474
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 2: gyvislider in between all of it. Like it's it's all

475
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: very nice for Brandons bro. And I still think that,

476
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: especially in terms of when next year begins, we got

477
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: a solid mid rotation guy here who should be here

478
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: for a long time doing that.

479
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: Oh definitely, all right, Number six, I'm going with Lucas

480
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: dud to two point zero Ryan Clifford.

481
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: Who did you have? Okay?

482
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: See I had Clifford a little bit further down my

483
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 2: list than my top top ten, my number six Alien Pania.

484
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Ooh hey, I had him at number ten. An had ten.

485
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: I had to get him on there for sure. Yeah.

486
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: I just went a little crazy because and this is like,

487
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: this is the kind of thing where we paid him

488
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: a ton of money. Everything was he was regarded as

489
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: as one of the best international prospects in that class.

490
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: The sixty great hit tool that we talked about when

491
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 2: the Mets signed him to let me give him out

492
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: a handful of times to guys like Vladimir Grere Junior.

493
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: And I think the other one was who. I can't

494
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: remember the other sixty great hits, so oh, I remember

495
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: who was?

496
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 3: It was the bad guy.

497
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: That's a really bad guy. It was like, I think

498
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: you know who this is now, I remember who. It's

499
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: not gonna say his name, but I think Jackson Holliday

500
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: also got one too, didn't he.

501
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm talking about purely international guys. Oh okay, gotcha ga.

502
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: So at that time, like when you see a guy

503
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: listed with those three in any way talent grade, whatever

504
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 2: I give you luck cred there.

505
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: It's funny.

506
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: We saw a lot of alien paintings like mental four

507
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: to two during the beginning of the season, the DSL

508
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: because he went over.

509
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: Twenty six to start his professional baseball career. That would

510
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: bring many people, many sixteen year olds, especially a seventeen

511
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: year Old's hilarious because remember he was getting camped Rafield

512
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: Devers a lot and Devors did the exact same thing

513
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: to start his season this year.

514
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: Is true. I didn't even think about that.

515
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: But since that and that hit that he got his

516
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: first hit on June fourteenth, he got thousand no ps,

517
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: six home runs, eighteen stolen bases since then, and a

518
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: guy like Pana, you have to dominate the DSL to

519
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: be considered any kind of prospect. So again, right now,

520
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: he's dominating DSL. So I'm considering, especially thinking a little

521
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: bit more ceiling than floor on my list. I'm gonna

522
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: check back in the year. Maybe if he's doing the

523
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: same thing in single A, then we're on a rocket ship.

524
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 2: But right now, just in terms of the physical abilities,

525
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: he's have the highest international signing bonus the mess have

526
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 2: ever given out.

527
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: I'm valuing Payna very highly on my list. Yeah, and

528
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: he's seventeen years old, so a lot of time left

529
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 3: with him. He's a kid. He's literally not even a

530
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: legal adult.

531
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, literally a child that we're talking about how

532
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: good he is at baseball in terms of a major

533
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: league organization. But I think regardless, he's a top ten

534
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: prospect in the system. Where'd you end up puting Cliford,

535
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about.

536
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: Him, all right?

537
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: So I had Clifford after another tier of hitters. I'm

538
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: going to have next to in that tier, but number nine.

539
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, So I put Clifford at six just simply

540
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: because I think he's just gonna be a good major

541
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: league player. Like it just seems like we're at the

542
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: point now where we know what he is and it's

543
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: just Lucas Dudah again. And if Lucas Duda played in

544
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: modern baseball now, like he just missed the timing for

545
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: being like that player that all these like he would have.

546
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rays did trade for him, but he'd

547
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: be a Ray, he'd be a brewer, he'd be old,

548
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: he'd probably on the Marlins like they probably would have

549
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: loved him too, Like right now, a modern Red Sox

550
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: like he Clifford gets on base a ton when he

551
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: swings the bat, which is not often.

552
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: He hits the ball really hard.

553
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: He's got a one forty five or one forty seven

554
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: WRC plus on the season between Double A and Triple A.

555
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: Just got promoted to Triple A. With all these other guys,

556
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: I think he's just a good baseball player. Like, I

557
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be Pete A Lonzo ever at

558
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: the plate, I don't think he's gonna have that kind

559
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: of offensive ceiling, but you might see a season or

560
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: two kind of like with Lucas Dude, or like oh

561
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: like thirty thirty five home runs and ops around nine hundred,

562
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: playing getting on base like he's a good baseball player.

563
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 2: I also think that similarly that we talked about was Sprote,

564
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: there is some prospect fatigue setting him with Clifford, because

565
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: I know he's now he was a fringy top hunter

566
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: guys in a bunch of these lists when he was

567
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: crushing the ball on high A for the Astros and

568
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: when we made the trade for him justin Verlander, Missus Gilbert.

569
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: But now for guy like Clifford, the biggest thing he

570
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 2: does is hit.

571
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 3: The ball incredibly hard. So he's only twenty one.

572
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: Doesn't make so while we don't have data on him

573
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: right now, once we start to get some Triple A

574
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: data rolling in, and if we see Ryan Clifford one fourteen,

575
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 2: one fifteen, one sixteen on a rex velosity and that's

576
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: all in the tank because when he was nineteen and

577
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: at a ball the Astros, they were reports of one tens,

578
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: one elevens, even when he was a perfect game and

579
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: he was a high schooler being drafted with one of

580
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: the biggest slop bonuses in that twenty twenty two draft

581
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: as a Vanderbilt commit that the Astros stole because they

582
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: were also doing something a Mester doing where they were

583
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: still in the back end of losing all of their

584
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: picks and all the bonus pull money from the Jeff

585
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: Lunau cheating fiasco, and they were like, we just have

586
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: to get blue Chippers in this system as quick as possible.

587
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 3: So Clifford, when we get data, he might get to

588
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: now shoot back up.

589
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: And I'm all I was surprised looking at some of

590
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: the Clifford's play discipline stuff that he only had a

591
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: ten percent swinging strike raid considering he has he's like

592
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: an absolute true three outcome guy with twenty six percent

593
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: striker rate in a fourteen percent walker this year in

594
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 2: one hundred games double A so you're mostly getting and

595
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: that's with twenty four home runs. So most of Ryan

596
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: Clifford's at play appearances ended with a strikeout, a walker, homer.

597
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: But the fact at least he's not whiffing, he's choosing

598
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: the right ones to swing at mostly That tells me

599
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: that there is more play discipline upside on Clifford, and

600
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: then maybe we actually can get some kind of ten

601
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: percent walk right guy in the major leagues.

602
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: Because I looked at that and I know we was

603
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 3: comparing to do THEA.

604
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: It's the same play disciplin numbers those those good duty years,

605
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: the same swing strike all the swing rates a little lower.

606
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: Clifford swings like thirty four percent of pitches, which is

607
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: comically low this year double is actually it take back

608
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: up to forty percent. But it was a similar swing

609
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 2: rate swing strike rate called strike rate as those good

610
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: years of Lucas Dudla in the Major leagues, which is

611
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: so funny.

612
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: I know people like here lucastudent and they're like, ah,

613
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: like they cringe, but it's like he was, he was good,

614
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: Like he had good seasons with this team, the Mets.

615
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: If the twenty twenty five New York Mets had Lucas

616
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Dude are playing DH on this team, it woul run

617
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: away with the division. Like it'd be crazy what a

618
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: bat like that could do.

619
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: And cliff is about to be like the youngest guy

620
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: at Triple A turning twenty two years. He just turned

621
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: twenty two years old a few weeks ago. So it's

622
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: like this is h level is still shocking how advanced

623
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: he is. So I think that the prospectatique has set end.

624
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: He's definitely a top ten prospect in the.

625
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: System to me, Yes, and let's be bad, big big

626
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: number seven.

627
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 3: Who do you got, James? This is my guy. I

628
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: don't think you like him as much Ajewing.

629
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: I have had a It's not that I don't like him.

630
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: I think I think you probably do like him more

631
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: than me. I do get worried about guys that are

632
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: more like athleticism toolsy than necessarily like the big eggs

633
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: of velo numbers. I've just been doing like a lot

634
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: of looking into like videos recently, and like guys who

635
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: can't hit certain exsit velos that get this like kind

636
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: of bump typically haven't panned out to be the greatest,

637
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: like Gavin Lux.

638
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: Okay, would you think aj Ewing's max ex philosopheas? I

639
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: think it's probably like one O six, one oh seven?

640
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: What is it?

641
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: It's one eleven and he's good, We're bad, that's it.

642
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: But he hit the number. One Ten's the number if

643
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: you could hit one ten like as a prospect, there's

644
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: there's real hype.

645
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, hand up, did not know we had

646
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: that ex a villa.

647
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: That's crazy, okay, ajus So I'm saying, kid, Yeah, that's

648
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So I did a lot of taking

649
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: out a j uing because I knew i'd have to

650
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: defend him on this ranking to you, because I knew

651
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: you'd like him as much. So the public day that

652
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: we had in aj Ewing this year in low Way

653
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: Saint Lucy, which he decimated it was one hundred nine

654
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: mile an hour max ex vlositi a forty percent heart

655
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: hit rate and one hundred four mile per hour ninety

656
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: percentile x of velocity. But then I went to digging

657
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: and a friend of mine in the industry, Chris Klake,

658
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: who does great work the Dynasty, Doug got one of

659
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: the most active and talented minor league people, like minor

660
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: league content out there. He said he had one hundred

661
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: eleven max ex of velosity and higa broach things. Yeah,

662
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 2: one hundred eleven in high A after the one o nine,

663
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: especially as a high school draft pick twenty twenty three,

664
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: which could become one of those like special drafts for

665
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: the mess because that was bro That was McLean. I

666
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: think that was also now that wasn't Judge. I was

667
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: two before, but that was no Thomas twenty twenty two.

668
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 2: Oh high school kids. Tom was the lately picked too.

669
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: Canadian time could always forget that. But the Mets just

670
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: took him as a short stop. Also from a highway.

671
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: Jun.

672
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: You know how much I love those like bad, those

673
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: bad stay prospects. I'm like, these guys aren't play baseball

674
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: two months a year. Let's get them out there for

675
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: eleven Monthst's see what they can do. Sure stop the

676
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: center field immediately, plus plus plus plus athlete like eighty,

677
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: great speed, like he's he's stealing forty fifty bases these

678
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: minor league levels in like fifty sixty games. He's an

679
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: absolute lightning rod in the bass pats. And he's a

680
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: lefty bat, which I love. That puts a little bit

681
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: less pressure on him because he can be a plus

682
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: balltoon guy, plus speed, plus defense. And again seeing that

683
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: forty percent hard hit Ray Loway, seeing the one hundred

684
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 2: and eleven max x vlasi from Chris Klegg Adam Adi

685
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 2: a plus Adam Hye, and I was going back through

686
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: some of Chris's content around that draft of the mess

687
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: because that was the Connor Houck draft. Yeah, at the

688
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 2: time he said Colin how sorry, he liked youwing more

689
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: than how as a prep prospect. Who So I was

690
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: like hell yeah, Paul Noah right, all right, Clegg Yeah,

691
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: huge out there, but just a center fielder with plus speed,

692
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: at least slightly fiftieth percentile power, left handed bat and

693
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: growing fast in terms of baseball skills.

694
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 3: That to me is like bang bang bang bang, like

695
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: flip flashing lights.

696
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,480

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, knowing that eggs you low. Now that

715
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: changes everything, because I mean that's that's a huge differencerom

716
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: where I thought he was. Because again the publicly available

717
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: data on my well, so there's still one on nine publicly. Yeah,

718
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: that was a ground ball. Sometimes I get I get

719
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about the one blip. I know,

720
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: I get worried about that one blip. Yeah, But knowing

721
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: the other stuff that you just telled me that I

722
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,239
Speaker 1: didn't have access to, Oh yeah, no, I get it now.

723
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: And like you mentioned, the fact that he's able to

724
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: play centerfield, the fact he's got the left handed bat

725
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: is really really intriguing.

726
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: You don't see that too often.

727
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: Like this also going to sound funny, but as a

728
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: prospect comp if he becomes left handed Harrison Bather, the

729
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: Mets get sixty years a free left handed Harrison Bather.

730
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: That's such a tremendous win for a fourth high school

731
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: bat which is hilarious because I felt like he was

732
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: this year's more a Beido who we were like if

733
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: he's Harrison Bader for a couple of years. Amazing.

734
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: Now it's like this might actually be the Harrison Baby

735
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: real life Harrison Bather again as a lefty, left handed

736
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: Harrison baty is crazy and it is still the contact

737
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: profile is not great.

738
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: It's not enough paulse not enough lift. But he's he's

739
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: a kid. He's just he's getting to double light this

740
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: age while he's made the ball.

741
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: He's forty six years old. He was just a kid.

742
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: But frankly Atar the affiliatara that I'll get all my

743
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: name is wrong today, But like as the floor, he

744
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: is crazy with the speed, defense and athleticism. Where'd you

745
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: have win injer because that was my number seven?

746
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: He's my ten.

747
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so talk a little bit about Whinger because I

748
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: had my number seven. He's a guy who, like stuff wise,

749
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have what Tong has, doesn't have a McLean has,

750
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have what sprot has. But then you look at

751
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: the numbers and it's like he strikes everybody out and

752
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't really walk anybody. Like it's kind of a

753
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: cool profile that the Mets don't have a lot of,

754
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: where it's just swing and miss control strikes.

755
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: Yes.

756
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: And the thing about Wenninger two, similarly we talked about

757
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: was Sproke seemed like the Mets put a lot on

758
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: his plate quickly, like he was just like a piggyback three.

759
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: And he stared last year at Saint Lucie and now

760
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: this year it's just like rocket ship to the moon.

761
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: And I don't think he gets enough credit for the

762
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: stats he's compiled, like, not just in the Mets organization,

763
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: in terms of like all double A pitchers, his consensus

764
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: like one of the two or three best guys, because yeah,

765
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 2: like we said, all those that's about tongue. How he

766
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: had the most strikeouts by this much, the best k rate,

767
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: the best strike on mis walk great Wens your second,

768
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: all of those in the entire Eastern League. And something

769
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: that Wenger is is that he's he's a change up first, righty,

770
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: But now I've learned that's to splitther not a change

771
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: up sad. Initially that's a big tick in his direction.

772
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, the pitch has a

773
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: fifty percent with rate this season. That was the day

774
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: that I got from a we got TJ stats, which

775
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: is crazy. So if that works against both sides, amazing,

776
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: and he now has more velocity. He was a ninety

777
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: two ninety He was a ninety ninety one guy at

778
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: Illinois again, cold cold pitcher, love it, love it, love it.

779
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: Ninety two ninety three last year, ninety four ninety five

780
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: this year from a high slot with good extension, manipulate

781
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: his slide. There he's worked on a sinker and now

782
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: he's working on a curve ball. He's a strike thrower,

783
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: like he's still my ten, just because it's not it's

784
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: not super stand down or anything besides that splitther So

785
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: we probably there probably still is a ceiling of a

786
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: mid mid, sure, mid rotation guy.

787
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: But I love seeing the growth. I like seeing a

788
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: wide pitch MIxS being set up.

789
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: But I like seeing this philosophy gris because now if

790
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: that gets up to ninety six ninety seven, and then

791
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: he would jump up to that like top five range

792
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: for me somewhere to you have him now, but statistically

793
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: scouting him, he's fantastic Oh he's awesome.

794
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely good. At number eight, I had aj Ewing,

795
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: We just talked about him. Who'd you have at number eight?

796
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: I was Rhymer? Okay, Rhymer was my nine there, so

797
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: the exact same top ten. Cool because on us, Wait.

798
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: Who'd you have at nine, Clifford? Oh okay, yeah, exact

799
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: same top ten? Literally the ten man.

800
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: We're the worst. Sorry, guys, terrible, But I guess the

801
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: last guy to talk about here in this list is Rhymer.

802
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: He's he's along with Ewing, He's the big helium guy

803
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: in the system this year, where now like he's, he's

804
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: stretched out to a top fifty overall prospect on baseball

805
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: perspectives M Fangress, I'm not sure a Baseball America, but

806
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: I think they had him close to there as well,

807
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: at least in.

808
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 3: The top hundred. I look up baseball, give me a

809
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: quick check.

810
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: But like, just it's crazy power games on Jacob Brimer.

811
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: Do you remember when he met Rymer when he got

812
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: drafted in twenty twenty two.

813
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he came up to me.

814
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: He was like, I think a selfie's a huge fan

815
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: of a draft deck mark video, So I was like, wait,

816
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: did you just get drafted? He's like yeah, I'm like,

817
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: this is not this is not how it's supposed to work.

818
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: So he's a good kid. I mean, he clearly knows

819
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: ball if he's listening to us.

820
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: But the one thing that is so interesting to me

821
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: about Rhymer is that he's like a third basement, like

822
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: that's his position, Like maybe he might even end up

823
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: being a first baseman or possibly a little or DH.

824
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: So that makes me be like, is his hit tool

825
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: really that good where we're seeing like prospectives, Like you said,

826
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: put him in like the top fifty, the hit tool

827
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: must be insane.

828
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: They put him in the top fifty, like stipulating that

829
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: it's not a consensus top fifty guy and there's a

830
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 2: lot of risks that can take him out. It kind

831
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: of felt like our guy Rob who knows everything, talked

832
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: about this like the same way that Hiss Bias now

833
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: member the Cardinals organization kind of rose up last year,

834
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: like similar age level and stuff.

835
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 3: But Rhymer physical or not top one hundred on Baseball America.

836
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: Okay, there's not then, but Rhymer physically is like a monster.

837
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: Now have you seen these videos of him? Have you

838
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: seen the size of him compared to the eighteen year

839
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: old we saw few years ago.

840
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: I think he's gained a couple inches. I think he

841
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: was like six feet tall when the Mets draft him.

842
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: He's like six two, two hundred down.

843
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: I think he's getting yeah, I think he's getting two

844
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: or three inches and thirty or forty pounds. It's a

845
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: lot of chicken rice going now with Jacob Riember and

846
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: just having a two twenty IO in Brooklyn as a

847
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: twenty one year old is not joke. Like that is

848
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: enough that that's an eye popping number. And that's after

849
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: he was hanging around one hundred ISO between like the

850
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: CPX and the low levels of the complex and the

851
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: lower levels of minors the last few years, and like that,

852
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: with him looking beefy strong and being able to steal

853
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: some bases like that probably just tells me is a

854
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: guy that can hit at the major league level, especially

855
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: like all the underlying data that we have in Loway

856
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: was amazing. It was a high zone contact, it was

857
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: a low chase, it was good activelocities like it's to me,

858
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: it's a slightly better profile than Clifford, but many many

859
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: levels younger in a similar age.

860
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: One thing that I do love from reading about him

861
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: on Baseball America, so shout out to them. As always,

862
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Rhymer is heavily invested in learning about his swing. He's like,

863
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: it seems like he's a stat analysis research nerd, which

864
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: is also really good an organization that seems to love

865
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff as well.

866
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: And like visually watching the rhyme or swings when he

867
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: was on the prep circuit and then watching the swings

868
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: he made it Brooklyn, I'm like, this looks like a

869
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: different swing. Just had to walk off home run two

870
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: one of his first games for Binghamton at Double A.

871
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: It was the same with Wenger, Like watching the videos

872
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: of Wenger in college, he looks like he's a totally

873
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: different pitcher physically now with the Mets, like really driving more,

874
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: extending more, just like kind of taking off the malt more.

875
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: Like now it's obvious you could pick up four or

876
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 2: five miles an hour like that. But like Rhymer, it's

877
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 2: it's a lot of good underlying data. And the shot

878
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: to play third base has him a take ahead of

879
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: Clifford for me, but also right handed batter terms of

880
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: the left headed batter. I link those guys very closely.

881
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: But I think that I think that right now we're

882
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 2: seeing a little bit better from Rhymer, so I put

883
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: him a little bit of ahead.

884
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: Anybody you want to just throw some flowers to as

885
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: a little honorable mention. I have a couple of names.

886
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 3: I have a couple names too.

887
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: I do want to do Mitch Void because we have

888
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 2: seen good eggs of LOSTI data for him in loway.

889
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: He looks way too advanced for that level and just

890
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: seeing how we developed bench this year. Now, I'm just

891
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: getting really excited about Void because people have comped him

892
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: as like similar profile player. I also Will Watson, He's

893
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: my favorite for just like pitch specs like I considered

894
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: him over Weener attend because he has that beautiful silky

895
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 2: low slot fastball that we love to see with the

896
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: high iv B. And then this is one from Isaac

897
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: the pitch and guru Isasa Grafman.

898
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 3: Okay, y love to hear from Isaac. Franklin Gomez single

899
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 3: a pitcher for the Mets right now. Who that is?

900
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 2: He's just like he looks like kind of like a

901
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 2: he looks like Franbarvaldesney pitches like him too. It's a

902
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: big curve all it's like the two planes on it,

903
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: and a sinker that looks like it'll play at any level.

904
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Sounds cool to me. I'm interested in that. I am

905
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: gonna give a little bit of a shout to Colin Hawk.

906
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: While he has been a forgotten prospect, he has been

907
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: playing better this season, so just keep that in mind,

908
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: former first round pick. And then a couple guys in

909
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: the DSL have been playing well. Edward Lantigua, who's someone

910
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: that we mentioned our OTP simulation, and also Yovanni Rodriguez

911
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: both hitting the ball really well down in the DSL YEP.

912
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 2: And then another one I wanted to mention, just Ees Ranto.

913
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: He's kind of getting sapped up right now as a

914
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 2: left handed power hit there in Brooklyn, but he's still

915
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: at least hitting beth than le Gavert'. Is still twenty

916
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 2: two years old, so age to level appropriate someone who

917
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: looks like they could be maybe sneak into the back

918
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: of these top tens when we get some of these

919
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: graduations this year. And then also just the prep pitchers

920
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 2: in this draft, especially Peter Cusal. Just like thinking about

921
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: the physicality of some of these guys, that I know

922
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: they're gonna get to this pitching lab and do crazy things.

923
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what, one more shout out shot Kevin

924
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: Parado one twenty one WRC plus and double a this

925
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: here we go?

926
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 3: Why not? That's that's something to know.

927
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: Actually think that that's really good for Kevin Prada future

928
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: of being a major league baseball player.

929
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: Possibly, Yeah, potentially being the Kevin Plochi is always intended
