17
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, or they click through to the

18

00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: If you want to be a good viewer, stay through

21

Speaker 3: Also, you guys are getting way more good juicy information

23
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: from us like twenty five through fifteen than you are

24
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: again fifteen through one. These are the guys, These are

25
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: nitty griddy. This is the research. These are guys you

26
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: might not know what we're gonna tell you about.

27
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: That being said, we did pick a friend of ours

28
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: at number twenty five to get this list start, did

29
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Lambert.

30
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: We support our friends.

31
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: We support our friends. We're going to be a little

32
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: bit by. If you're a Mets prospect and you want

33
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 3: to make our top twenty five prospects, the one thing

34
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: you can do is come on this show and talk

35
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: to us. That's a guarantee. But past that, Ryan is

36
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: also a really talented player. He throws harder than anybody

37
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: in your organization. He already told us on this podcast

38
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: that the Mets we're kind of starting to develop him.

39
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: Treat him as if he was Paul Skeans with his

40
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: splinker and doing the same pregame pregame warm up stuff

41
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: with the water jet pack to loosen his trunk. We

42
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: love Ryan Lambert. I think he's gonna be really good pitcher.

43
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: One day and he throws one hundred and it's the

44
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: twenty fifth prospect ranking. We're just gonna start picking guys

45
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: that we like down here. So while we like him

46
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: more as our friend because he of course that's how

47
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: you get on this list, you'd be our friend you

48
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: get on the podcast. Some of the other guys that

49
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: you see on here too may not be named to

50
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: see on other lists, Guys that we just personally like

51
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: more for different reasons. One of those guys being next

52
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: up at number twenty four, Jack Wendinger.

53
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Wenger is really fun. He did make the Baseball

54
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: America Top twenty five or Top thirty whatever they put

55
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: out last week. But he's a twenty two year old

56
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: sixth round pick of Illinois last year. He also came

57
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: from Murray State to Illinois, So racers. Yeah, Murray State,

58
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: that's South Carolina, al right, Tennessee, I believe and see Okay,

59
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 3: so a little bit of baseball. But he is from

60
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: the he's from the Midwest, so then exactly grew up

61
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: with a big baseball background similar to Lambert to where's

62
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: probably a lot more upside left on an arm. Once

63
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: again into a real organization like this. The stuff doesn't

64
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: jump off the page for Wenger. He has crazy swing

65
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: and miss. He had twenty nine percent strike out right

66
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: in Saint Lucy. He got twenty four percent in his

67
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: first twenty innings in Brooklyn. He's giving up some more

68
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: runs of Brooklyn, but getting used to the level, much

69
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 3: harder level than Saint Lucie. He only had nine nine

70
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: strikeouts in his first twelve and two thirds indings cyclones,

71
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: but he's getting good now. He just had an now

72
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: I think, where he had eight strikeouts and three innings.

73
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: He's really good. He's been called a change up artist

74
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: by Eric longenheg and a fangrass big change up guy,

75
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: Like that's his pitch and he only throws like ninety

76
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: two to ninety four miles an hour, but he shows

77
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: five other different pitches.

78
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're trying to figure out the pitch is

79
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: too fastball, cutter, curveball, maybe even a sinker from what

80
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: the pitch data looks like. But when in your decent guy,

81
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: keep an eye out him for him at number twenty four.

82
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: Next up at number twenty three, we were going with

83
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: the player that was part of the David Robertson trade

84
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: last season with the Marlins. That's going to be Ronald Hernandez,

85
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: who has done a really good job quietly at Saint

86
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Lucy this year. Three to eighty five on base at

87
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty years old. That's a really impressive stat.

88
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, really good, because he's also a guy who came

89
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: to the Mets with apparently really good bats of ball.

90
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: He always had good batting averages down the complex and

91
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: I think it's the DSL where he started, but good,

92
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 3: good contact scales. Now he's getting this on base skill.

93
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: He's like an undersized catcher, but he's a guy who

94
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: you know, he he probably comes up and he could

95
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: be a nice, a nice quality backup catcher the major

96
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: leagu roster one day. You don't have to worry about it.

97
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, just love seeing that play discipline already at a

98
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: young age, which is fantastic. At number twenty two, a

99
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: name that the Mets just took in this previous draft.

100
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: I think they took him in the fourth round, I believe.

101
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: I think was fifth, fourth or fifth shortstop out of Missouri.

102
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: R Yes, Missouri, and he was going to be committed

103
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: at University of Tennessee's that's where I get confused.

104
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Trey Snyder.

105
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trey Snyder. Mets gave him what was like commensurate

106
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: of a second round slot bonus, maybe between the second

107
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: and third slot bonus. Yanked him away from Tennessee, which

108
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: is really cool because Tennessee's coming off of College Baseball

109
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: World Series coach Tony Vittel is one of the best

110
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: in the country. But this was a swing for the fences,

111
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: pick swank of defence as we hit it out. He

112
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: was the only high schooler we took in the first

113
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: like WAT ten fifteen rounds and what was a pretty

114
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: weak high school class. But Gay thea Raids Missouri Player

115
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: of the Year. Scouts raved abatt to shortstop defense and

116
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: his high school showcases he had. I think I saw

117
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: a tweet ninety nine percent percent high likes of last

118
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: ses check check check really good things.

119
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Yes, and look at him too, like he's a strong kid.

120
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: I think he's like six foot one, like almost two

121
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, which is kind of crazy for a high

122
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: school shortstop. Really strong, really smooth, compact swing as well.

123
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: A lot of good things there from Trey Snyder. I

124
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye out for. There's gonna be

125
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: a dude a little bit higher up on this list

126
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: that is a very similar ish idea to what happened

127
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: with Trey Snyder, the guy we stole away from a

128
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: big school and ended up beingcoming a pretty solid prospect

129
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: for someone that we like, all right, just missing out

130
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: on the top twenty at number twenty one, we have

131
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: a name that Mets fans should be somewhat familiar with,

132
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: Simon One.

133
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, Simon one, you guys might remember that Mark and

134
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: I completely freaked out over him in spring training because

135
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: he had hit two balls over one hundred and twelve

136
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: miles an hour, and I think it was for Toto

137
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: spring training at bats. So you do that. I don't

138
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: care when, I don't care why, I don't care how,

139
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: and I don't care what else happens to the rest

140
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: of the season. As long as you're not the worst

141
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: player at the level you're playing at, you're gonna make

142
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: our top twenty five. Simojan is still down the complex

143
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: in Florida. He's doing totally fine, Like he's hitting some homers.

144
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: He's better than the average there. But he did that

145
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 3: in spring training. That was like a pop off kind

146
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: of moment. That was and I'm not going to forget

147
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: you moment. And Simon one gets in the top twenty

148
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: five for that reason.

149
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: A long yeah, and for context, Nolan Arnado has never

150
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: hit a ball that hard. Is not necessarily like gonna

151
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: be one of the top exit Villows.

152
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: But he's also still what nineteen years old, twenty years

153
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: old doing this?

154
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: I think he's eighteen still even younger, even younger, eighteen

155
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: years old, and he put up a one to twelve.

156
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: That's super impressive.

157
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: You don't see those eggs of velos from quite a

158
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: lot of Yeah, you don't see those from young players.

159
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: So Simon one gets on the list because he hit

160
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: the ball hard a couple times.

161
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: You know what, That's how these lists should be. These lists.

162
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: A lot of people when they talk about prospect rankings,

163
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: they never want to get aggressive. They never want to

164
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: make these big, crazy changes. That's exactly what you should

165
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: be doing.

166
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: This.

167
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: This is rolland dice. You don't know what's gonna come

168
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: out anytime on these lists. Doesn't matter if they're one

169
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: or number twenty. The guy could end up being decent.

170
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: This season alone. Whyat langfa Iss not hit the ball

171
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: hundred twelve miles an hour. Brian Rewnds has not hit

172
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: the ball hundred twelve miles an hour, Corman Carroll has

173
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: not done it. Paul Goldschmid, christpher Morel, who's known for

174
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: powerful hitting, is not hit the ball hundred twelve miles

175
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: an hour. Bobashett is not hit the ball on hundred

176
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: twelve miles an hour. Jordan Westburg, one of the biggest

177
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: young player breakouts in the league this year, has not

178
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: hit the ball one hundred twelve miles an hour. Brandon

179
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: Neimo has not hit the ball one hundred twelve miles

180
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: an hour. Hilio Ramos one of the other biggest prospect

181
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: breakouts this year, Nolan Gorman, Alec Burlson, Brandon Lau, Tarling Marte.

182
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: Of course not these are Alec Bohm, Glaber Torres. He

183
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 3: did this twice in four at bats in spring training

184
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: against pitchers that are in Double A right now, Like,

185
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: that's something that again, like I pride ourselves, Mark and

186
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 3: I am making these prospect lists because we're not going

187
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: to hold ourselves to things we once said like we're

188
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: wrong all the time. So we're so okay to the minute,

189
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 3: and we're going to admit it up and down on

190
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 3: this list being wrong and also when we're right, because

191
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: we like that a lot too. But these things should

192
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: change a lot and do these big seminal moments for

193
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: these players should have a huge impact. Like Simon Wan

194
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: hitting two balls one hundred and twelve miles an hour

195
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: in spring training.

196
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about some guys maybe that we've been

197
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: wrong about towards the end, after we finish up guys

198
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: that were left off this list, and we'll put our

199
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: hand up and say, hey, miss that one pretty bad,

200
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: all right, get in the top twenty.

201
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: Started at number twenty.

202
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: We've got Nate Dome, pitcher out of Mississippi State, who

203
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: we took in this previous draft.

204
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: And I know, James, you love this, dude, love it.

205
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: This is another one similar to Christian Scott brandon sprote

206
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: where the Mets see a high upside also weirdly sec

207
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: relief pitcher, and like, we're gonna make you a really

208
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: good starter. Dome had we had the fourth highest trackout

209
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 3: to walk ratio in Division One if you were qualified,

210
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: had legiti first round potential if he were healthy. Big

211
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: ninety nine miles in there, fastball, big time slider, good

212
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: looking change up shows, a curveball, a lot of good

213
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: stuff here. Think there's someone who we could see be

214
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: the next big that's pitching prospect riser.

215
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: Which love to see this pitching factory, the pitching lab.

216
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: They've done good things thus far. I love to see

217
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: what they can do with a guy like Nate Dome

218
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: at number nineteen, quickly becoming one of my favorite little,

219
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: little sneaky prospects down there. Give me Edward Lantigua. This

220
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: kid's swing is just it's beautiful. I love what I

221
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: could see there. He got paid nearly a million dollars

222
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: international international signing bonus pool money, and he just he's

223
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: put up some decent numbers so far from what we've seen. Again, granted,

224
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: it's the summer League. Like, it's nothing crazy, nothing to

225
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: take too much stocking. That's why he's at number nineteen.

226
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: But it's got some good guts right now, totally.

227
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: It being in the air, being in the DSL at

228
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: seventeen is good. He going there and hitting really really

229
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: well seventeen is good. He's stealing some basses, he's not

230
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: striking Adaly, he's taking walks and Mets fans, you guys

231
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 3: want to feel really old for a second, yes, or

232
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: even you Mark. Edward Lantigua was born after Carlos Beltron

233
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: took strike three against Adam Wayne Right.

234
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't love that.

235
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: November th thousand and six. He was born, but no, smooth, smooth,

236
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 3: swinging outfield like this is this is another one we're

237
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: gonna put on here, and we're like, in a year

238
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: we'll be like, oh, Edward Lantiguill when he's a Saint

239
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: Lucy crushing the ball.

240
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: We were right correct.

241
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: One guy that we were talking about as well a

242
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: lot on this podcast, Nick more Robido coming in at

243
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: number eighteen playing center field, looks pretty good out there,

244
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: put up incredible numbers in St. Lucy and putting up

245
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: pretty decent numbers as well at Brooklyn right now.

246
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is another one that people in the prospect

247
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: community are shifted on because I don't know, I think

248
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: Mark and I might look at the players slash line

249
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: of the minor leagues and think more importantly about it

250
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: than the scouts. And but also the scouts like watching Morebio,

251
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: just getting some videos of him playing the outfield. He

252
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: looks like he can actually play center field. So someone

253
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 3: who can actually play center field, who's good enough to

254
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: like steal thirty five bases and half a season of

255
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: a ball and also get on base at nearly four

256
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: hundred clip like, that's good enough for me to be like,

257
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: this is a top twenty prospecting system. The only thing

258
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: of Morbido, which talked about a lot when we were

259
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: doing the dense prosper reports early in the season. There's

260
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: just no power max ex I Loost the one of

261
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 3: five when he was at Saint Lucy's just not good

262
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: enough for someone who was an older high school draft

263
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: pick who's supposed to be like this kind of torqued up,

264
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: like physical guy. So that's an issue. Hopefully grows into it,

265
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 3: but feels like, now we have.

266
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: What you want to know, something funny, just some of

267
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: the players that he's hit a ball harder than this year. Okay, heck,

268
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: he has hit a ball harder than Nolan Shanuel who's

269
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: out on a heady point nine. He hit a ball

270
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: harder than our king, Stephen Kwan one hundred and four

271
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: point three, and Michael Siani. Those are the four right

272
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: now or three right now major leaguers that are qualified

273
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: hitters that he's hit a ball harder than already. Jeff

274
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: McNeil is near there too, at one oh five point seven.

275
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: So let's say, let's say this that Siani is actually

276
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: probably a good comparison or probably.

277
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: Better speed and is like a disgusting a centerfielder.

278
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 3: But why not, as I mean, like, but if he

279
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: can just play plus center field at least when he's

280
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: young at the major league level, Like that's what And

281
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: also maybe like what more Bido has to do is

282
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: like really rework his approach to be something like Quans,

283
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: but like I'm gonna make contact with everything. I'm not

284
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: gonna be anything hard, like I'm gonna be like a riot,

285
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: like I'll I'll juice my way to a seven hundred

286
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: ohps the major leagues. But unlike Luis Rys play really

287
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: good defense.

288
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: That's as interesting too, like a Dela Amador one oh

289
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: three point six and he was a I know he's

290
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: a different prospect or whatever, but it's just funny how

291
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: max exvillos matter a little bit more sometimes for some

292
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: guys than they do others.

293
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they should matter more for most guys.

294
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: That's I think that's an issue. Like I remember someone

295
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: tried to peddle me out the Alambador in the Dynasty

296
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: League a few years ago, and I took a trade

297
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: for Jordan Westburg instead, and the person was like, what

298
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: do you see? How much better out there I Alambador

299
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: is ranked. I was like, have you seen out there, Alamador, Like,

300
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: how many like five seven, like one hundred and sixty

301
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: pounds all stars do you see in Major League Baseball?

302
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: Like give me the SEC dude who's really big and

303
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: makes a lot more contact, like makes more powerful contact.

304
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: Like I got shit in the league for that, but whatever.

305
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: And also this is kind of a tear for prospects.

306
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: Now as to your man, Mark's not a to your man.

307
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 3: I think between Lantigue and Morbi though, we kind of

308
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 3: have the guys who were like our big upside swings

309
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: versus now guys who are like steadier projections but maybe

310
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: not as crazy.

311
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm upside, yes, And that would be at number seventeen,

312
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: Marco Vargas, who has unfortunately not had a great year.

313
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: After all the exciting stuff we saw last year towards

314
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: the end of the year, after the David Robertson trade

315
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: and even in the spring breakout game, we're really impressed

316
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: with his approach at the plate, but he has struggled

317
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: at Saint Lucy. He's also been battling injuries, so you

318
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: don't know how I don't know how much that has

319
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: to deal with it too, and also not really playing shortstop,

320
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: so we did have to drop him down a little

321
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: bit on this.

322
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 3: List totally, and the same LUs Mets have weird vibes

323
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: because Mace made and one guy who this is a sneaker, sneaky.

324
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: I know.

325
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: We're on seventeen. Someone is not going to make our list. Surprisingly,

326
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 3: Met's first round pick last year, Colin Hawk has been

327
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: horrible on both sides of the ball. But he's playing

328
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: shortstop basically every day because he's the Mets first round pick,

329
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 3: so we have to have to keep pushing him a

330
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: shortstop and he might be taking shortstop reps from Vargas

331
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: and someone else. We're really excited about that. We're gonna

332
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: have high on this list, yes, and.

333
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: We will talk about him later.

334
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: It still a long way to go with Marco Vargas

335
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: not done yet, but based on what we've seen this year,

336
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: you just you can't be as excited as.

337
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: You were in previous years.

338
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: No, that's okay.

339
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: At number sixteen, we have another Saint, Lucy Brooklyn cyclones

340
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: kid right now, fan of the Channel Fanta Jurassic Mark

341
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: took a selfie with me the day he was at City.

342
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: Field and he signed contract they he signed his.

343
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Contracts like draftneck Mark, what are you doing here? Took

344
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: a picture with me that's fucked up. But at number sixteen,

345
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: Jacob Brimer, he does a lot well. I mean, he's

346
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: a big kid. He's probably just going to stick to

347
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: the corner of third base, first base, maybe even more

348
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: so first base. Not so sure yet what that glove

349
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: looks like. But see you could see the Outfielis had

350
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: the ability to get on base. I think he is

351
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: a career four hundred on base percentage in the miners,

352
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: has only played like one hundred and twenty games.

353
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: But that's that alone right there, is pretty impressive.

354
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was trying to think of major league comps

355
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: for him as a guy who's just super okay everywhere,

356
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: but not like a very standouty type of skill where

357
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: it's just like I he can run a little bit,

358
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: he can hit a little bit. There's a little bit

359
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: of power, like I'm thinking of like a like a

360
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: seventeen homer, like two sixty five average third base, first base,

361
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: corner outfielder type.

362
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: This is so I don't think he is this player

363
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: because he had crazy heights, but like that's kind of

364
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: what Anthony Rendon was when he came up. He was

365
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: just kind of like a not very athletic third baseman

366
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: who like hit for some average and a little power.

367
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: I thought about like the older versions of Nick Weisher,

368
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: just without the hype around base percentage fair where it's

369
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: just like you. But yeah, yeah, yeah, he's lefty, that's true. Rhymer.

370
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: Being righty does hurt the ceiling a little bit. But again,

371
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 3: just like all the scouts, everyone just like he's a

372
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: good little player. He's a good ball Player's the kind

373
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: of guy keeping the organization our sixteenth rank prospect. Again,

374
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: also we should say as Ryan being a sixteenth Ranning

375
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: productickt so we get higher in this list. Mark and

376
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: I have also a different prospect qualifications than the other

377
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: Big Time list. We think that guys like Christian Scott,

378
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: RUNNYM Marisio, if you were healthy right now and you

379
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: would definitely be in the major leagues, I don't really

380
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 3: consider you a prospect anymore. Because Maricio didn't tear his ACL,

381
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: he'd be in the major league team contributing. Christian Scott

382
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: his album was cooperating right now, he'd been the major

383
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: league team contributing like he was the major league team contributing.

384
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: So those are guys that we don't have on this list,

385
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: So some guys might be pushed up a little bit

386
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: because two of the Mets presume top five prospects and

387
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: every single list are not here for us.

388
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: I think technically, as long as you're rookie eligible, you

389
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: still get classified as a prospect. Not for us, we're

390
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: not putting them on there all right, Top fifteen now,

391
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Rodriguez came over from the Tommy fam trade. He's

392
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: a guy that you were particularly excited about. You were like,

393
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: this guy is awesome, and he's looked pretty good. I mean,

394
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: he got crazy offseason buzz and has looked pretty decent

395
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: so far from what we've seen.

396
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: Totally, and like he got the crazy buzz last year

397
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: because he just did things played discipline wise in the

398
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: DSL that I think he was either seventeen or older

399
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: and older very just sixteen at the time for part

400
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: of the season they just don't do. He had ninety

401
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: six percent in zone contact right and nineteen percent chase right,

402
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: eighteen extra base hits and more walks and strikeouts in

403
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: fifty one games. Last you know, the DSL between the

404
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: Diamonbacks and Mets organizations and you look at videos of him,

405
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: and Matt Age told us this in the podcast in

406
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: the offseason we did their Top Mets prospects. He just

407
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: looks like a fucking hitter in there, Like you can

408
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: see him bouncing. You could see the way his hands

409
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: and his wrists operate. He twists really well with his hips.

410
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: He gets around on the ball, again as someone who

411
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: right now would be a high school senior. So this

412
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: is like Mark and I had a debate about in

413
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: this recent draft class, if Jeremy Rodriguez would have been

414
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: like a late first round pick in this draft. Mark

415
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: said no. I said, I think maybe some team would

416
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: have taken a shot. But also it's a little different

417
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: and we look at the come of the draft a

418
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: little differently. He also looks like he can just hang

419
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: a short stop long term as a six foot kid

420
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: with really good actions and like he's like he's live

421
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: and he's leaned. Looks like he's gonna grow into some

422
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: more power, but not at a take away the athleticism,

423
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: he hasn't been the same kind of hit of this year,

424
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: losing the power a little, but then the play discipline.

425
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: But again he's the same age as a college senior.

426
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: There is a long way to go, and the things

427
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: he's already done at seventeen years old put him in

428
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: a nice comfortable echelon for me, much more comfortable the

429
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: most seventeen eighteen year old prospects.

430
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: A dude who also in the Spring breakout game. We

431
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: were very impressed with his plate displayed in me.

432
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: I think watching him hit ye, yeah, just like seeing him.

433
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: He's the kind of guy like you see him in

434
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: the box, You're like, oh, this is a fucking hit

435
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: the Yeah, you could feel it. Vargas feels the same way.

436
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: So we're hoping those two guys can maybe heat up

437
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: towards the end of the year and get back on

438
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: for next season.

439
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: For sure.

440
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: At number fourteen, we're kind of moving into a little

441
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: bit of a different tier here.

442
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: Now. These are a lot more.

443
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Closer ish guys, guys that are just kind of hanging

444
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: around waiting for their shot, one of them being Mike Vassal,

445
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: who comes at number fourteen. We all got super excited

446
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: about him last year. He was carving up double a

447
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: US included, and we had to we couldn't talk about

448
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: anything else on the podcast, so we had to get

449
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: excited every once in a while we were allowed to

450
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: talk about prospects and.

451
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Vassal was tearing up Double A.

452
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: But literally as soon as he step footing Triple A,

453
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: it's just been difficult for him. Has not been the

454
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: same picture, has kind of been getting lit up.

455
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Triple A is hard, Like we're gonna talk

456
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: about someone everyone wants to hear about later. Brandon sprote

457
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: he didn't do wells for at Triple A start. But

458
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: Triple a's different strike zone than the other minor league levels.

459
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: You have a different baseball in different minor league levels.

460
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: The average age of Triple A goes up to like

461
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: the mid to a twenties because you're facing all of

462
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: these major league guys waiting in the wings on play teams.

463
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: Forty man rosters like Ben Gamble and Jose glaciersho are

464
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: legitimate major league baseball players, but the teams just don't

465
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: have the spot on the twenty six for them right now.

466
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 3: So you're facing a different caligorary of guys from Double A. Again,

467
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: your strike zone is different, your baseball is different. It's

468
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: a three very different things that has to happen. Triple

469
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: A and Vassals probably should have acclimated by now. His

470
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: results are still bad. But something else cool about Triple

471
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 3: A is that we have full pitch day than all

472
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: of these guys and Vassal pitching. He still has three

473
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: very good secondary pitches. His sweeper is nasty as curveballs

474
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: plus and his changeup is totally fine. Sicker's okay, he

475
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: shows the color, that's fine. His forteing fastball is not

476
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 3: good against laid up and last year Vassal we had

477
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: this pitch day then all that stuff was still similar,

478
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: but he was all fastball, all sink or all change

479
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 3: up over and over again. This year he's gotten a

480
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: lot more comfortable to sweeper in the curveball. He's using

481
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: them much more start to start, and still a weird mix.

482
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: Like just being major hard to think of major league

483
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 3: baseball playerhere. I'm like, all the breaking balls are good

484
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 3: and all the fastballs are bad. But my mind went

485
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: to someone who's broken out this year, who was another

486
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: late bloomer, Jake Irvin. Ooh, and the thing that made

487
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 3: Jake Irvin so good the major league level was being like,

488
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: you know what, this curve ball is my best pitch.

489
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: The slide's my second best pitch. I'm gonna throw these

490
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 3: the whole time, and I'm gonna dare you to hit them,

491
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: and it'll work for a few months. For Jake Irvin,

492
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: he's been bad for a few months. But worst case scenario,

493
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 3: Jake Gervan is a quality major league back and star there.

494
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 3: I think he will be for a decent amount of time.

495
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 3: So I think the way for Vassal to get back

496
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 3: up is to just get really comfortable with those breaking balls.

497
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure he is trying to do. I'm sure that's

498
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: the directive from the team triple A. So I think

499
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 3: there's still a path for him to be a fine

500
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: back end spot star of the major league pitcher.

501
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: And again, this was an eighth round pick back in

502
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, major win that if we can get

503
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: this sky to a major league level like this is

504
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: I think sometimes too, like with the prospect stuff, you

505
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: hear about these guys with the helium kind of like

506
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: Vassal did last year, and you're like, next Jacob deGrom,

507
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: Like that's what every met fan does. They're like, oh

508
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: my god, this random dude from like the middle rounds

509
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: of the draft, He's gonna be the next to Grom.

510
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: It's like sometimes are just gonna be major leaguers and

511
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: that's okay.

512
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: And that's also a Mets twither thing too, because like

513
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: people like everyone knows like the Mets prospects to other people,

514
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: like we like Joe Demeo's family, he's his friend of

515
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: the channel, like Mayor tweets everything about the prospects, but

516
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 3: they only seem to tweet when the guys do either

517
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: really well or really bad, because it's an engagement game

518
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: and we're gonna be telling you most of these guys

519
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: just happen to be in the middle of all the time.

520
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: And then it's just it's it's about how the organization

521
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: looks at these guys. Like Mark said, a guy like

522
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: Vassal who is nath round pick out of Virginia, good

523
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: baseball school. But you've got a guy who you were like, oh,

524
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: we're banking on this guy like him getting to the

525
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 3: major leagues is like, holy shit. To value that we

526
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: just accrued like good for player development, good for scouting,

527
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: good organizational success. To convert guys like that to major leaguers.

528
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: Yes, now that being said this next guy at number thirteen,

529
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Santucci, we do have higher hopes for it. There

530
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: is some ceiling on him coming out of Duke's second

531
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: round picked by the Mets. In this previous draft, people

532
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: are excited about him. He has a lively arm. His

533
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: numbers were comparable ish to Hagen Smith, who was a

534
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: guy who even went number five overall of the Chicago

535
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: White Side.

536
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the pitch mix for Santucci is that commenserate

537
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: of another first round pick. I think he also dealt

538
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: with some injuries and also some control issues and that

539
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: kind of push him down the board. But big lefty

540
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: with a ninety seven miles in hour fastball that's gotten

541
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: up to twenty inch has been very vertical break. So

542
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: that kind of fastball comes into the zone and rises

543
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: up on the guys. It's like with Shotta come e Managa,

544
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: Yes there does. I don't know why I always crew

545
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: that name up, but it's like what he does, but

546
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: five extra miles an hour on it because show that

547
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: kind of sits between ninety one and ninety three. And

548
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: then that fastball is with Duke had a thirty percent

549
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: in zone with freight, So of all fastballs in the

550
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 3: strike zone that were swung at thirty percent swings and

551
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: misses one of the best in the country last year,

552
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: a huge slide that had fifty percent swing in miss rate,

553
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 3: and then a very real change up that like is

554
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: his key pitch. Last Prezaski talked about this in the

555
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 3: alb Draft show, that that change up. Because he's a

556
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: left he's got to get right. He's out of the

557
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: next level because the slide there is very big, so

558
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: it's not gonna be the best against righties. If that

559
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: gets more consistent, those three pitches together, this looks like

560
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: a major league baseball star the he does a lot

561
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: of upside. Santucci excited he was the best pitching left

562
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: does with them.

563
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: Yes, twelve, we have another pitcher, Dominic Hambell, a guy

564
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: you've been hearing about forever, waiting for his shot.

565
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: He's gonna get it. One day when he said no,

566
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: he is like, he's he's gonna.

567
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: Get his shot. But he also has just been terrible

568
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: at triple A. So it's kind of hard to push

569
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: him through, especially when you have guys who are just

570
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: performing a little bit better.

571
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, while he's been bad at triple A, the Mets

572
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 3: are still pushing him getting length. He's averaging eighty six

573
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: pitches per Star Triple A this year, which is that's

574
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: like that. I still think he's a starter because this

575
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: sweeper still goes crazy. His fastball is good, and he's

576
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: worked really really hard to turn his change up into

577
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: a real pitch, Like we see those Triple A results

578
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: and like he might be just throwing twenty five percent

579
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: change ups. That might be screwing him because it's definitely

580
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: his third or fourth best pitch. But he has to

581
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: throw a locks. He has to prove he can use it.

582
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: And his curveball drops a ton, but it's like it's

583
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: like an obvious curve ball. It's got the big hump

584
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: on it and it is different from the sweeper. But

585
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: it's still a nice pitch. And then he has a

586
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: color too, So that's a starter this mix. The results

587
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: are bad, but Star's mentality. We saw him throw out

588
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: a one hitter over eight innings last year. He's definitely

589
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 3: a semifinal game against Somerset.

590
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: Dog Dog. He's got some dog in him.

591
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: He was part of I think on Twitter he made

592
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: a joke that he went on a date with some

593
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: Hiak or Penelope Cruise.

594
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't remember which one it was.

595
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, which is probably twenty years older than.

596
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: Him, oh for sure.

597
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: But dog dog Don Hammel and he's got crazy energy.

598
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: So it's got that good curveball too. I remember that

599
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: curveball on Somerset looked pretty disgusting.

600
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. It's a lot of good pitches. So

601
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: I think they're just like, just come on, keep doing it,

602
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 3: keep doing it, keep doing it. Be here when we

603
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: need you.

604
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Okay, we're just missing on the top ten here at

605
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: number eleven. We promised someone a little bit earlier when

606
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about Trey Snyder, someone that we're both a

607
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: little bit higher on than I think most right now.

608
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: And that's what we're gonna do over here on the

609
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: Mets Up podcast. We're go some juice into Boston barrow

610
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: right now because sneak, sneaky, kind of fun dude. The

611
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: Mets took him in the eighth round as well.

612
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: Last year.

613
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: He was committed to UCLA and they just said, hey,

614
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: a lot of money, let's see if we can steal

615
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: your way with a later round pick.

616
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 2: He looks pretty good.

617
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: He's been playing a lot of third base again because

618
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: Colin Hawk is playing shortstop. Same draft, you're not gonna

619
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: put the eighth rounder there. When you have the first

620
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: round here, you're giving a couple million dollars too. So

621
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good and at the play, Like, I

622
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: really like his swing. His left hand is swing to me,

623
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: looks aggressive and it looks.

624
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: Like you could have some pop in there.

625
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: He looks smooth. It's a nice compact swing. He also

626
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: seems like he's a big He's a big kid. He

627
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: looks like he's gonna grow into more body and not

628
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 3: have it. I think he's only six one or six two,

629
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: is a nineteen year old pushing two hundred pounds and

630
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 3: looks like he just looks like he holds the frame well.

631
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: And he's been playing third base this year Saint Lucie

632
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 3: for the Mets. He has an absolute canon there and

633
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: he looks like someone who could be a plus like

634
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: plus third base defender, like someone who can dominate defensively there.

635
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: Like he's so good there. The Mets have still played

636
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: them seventeen game to shortstop and even fourteen and second base,

637
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 3: so that's like the best kind of versatility. Like I'm

638
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: a really good playing defense at every position, and the

639
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: Mets kind of aggressively put him in Saint Lucy. He

640
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 3: barely played in the Complex as an eighteen year old

641
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 3: last year and in Saint Lucy this year on hundred

642
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: twenty WRC plus and three sixty four OBP playing positions

643
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: he didn't play very much because he was high school shortstop,

644
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: still just nineteen years old. I think if you guys

645
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: are gonna leave this list and come away with the

646
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: prospect of the Mets system that people don't really talk about,

647
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: that you should be excited about. It's boss to borrow,

648
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: especially being a lefty infielder, actions to play everywhere in

649
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: the infield, big kid, silky, smooth power. This is the guy.

650
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely super high on Boston Barrow. We're gonna

651
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: sneak him into number eleven because now if we get

652
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: into the top ten, this is where the stuff really

653
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: starts to matter. At number ten, we're going with Jonah Toong.

654
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: The stuff is crazy, The helium's nuts. You heard about

655
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: the meteoric rise he had through the lower ranks of

656
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: the Mets farm system and he's still I mean, he's

657
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: run into some more issues at HYA, which is supposed

658
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: to happen for a twenty.

659
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: Year old like this, but he's still looking pretty good.

660
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 3: He's run into issues, but I think the ERA is

661
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: still down to like three four now because he just

662
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: had an absolute tarred streak with Brooklyn where over seven starts,

663
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: fifty strikeouts, ten walks in thirty two winnings and two

664
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: point four eight ERA. So he got another bad start

665
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: though this week had more walk strikeouts in a bad

666
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: game against the Yankees. But those Yankees single eight teams

667
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: are always just monstrous, like they're so damn good. But overall,

668
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 3: like I know, when he was in Saint Lucie, he

669
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: threw twenty innings and he struck out like forty five

670
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: percent of vaters and he didn't give up an earned run.

671
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: That will really get you the helium. But even at

672
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 3: Brooklyn still as a twenty one year old pitcher, which

673
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 3: is rare to see the pitchers move this quickly. Get

674
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 3: to Brooklyn twenty one years old. Most of the pictures

675
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: in net staf you're gonna see low twenty three, twenty

676
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: four year old guys like a year out of college.

677
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: Even still at that age, thirty percent strike out rate

678
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: and a three point five VRA. It's three point SIXTYRA

679
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: in plastic, really good, really really really good. Someone still

680
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: be very excited about.

681
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: At number nine, someone we were both very excited about,

682
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: especially from what we saw in Spring Traders this year.

683
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: Jesu's bias.

684
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: If he didn't tell that damn meniscus in his knee,

685
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: this dude really have some helium this year.

686
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: I love his TuS bias. He's one of the most

687
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: guys for the full season. Him and Borrow I think

688
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 3: are as a mess. Hitting development we think hasn't really

689
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 3: come along yet, especially where the pitching lap has gotten

690
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 3: itself to These are the two guys we can look

691
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: at it and be like, Okay, things might be working

692
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: with the hitting development. Because he again, I think full

693
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: season he might have been the biggest breakout in the

694
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: whole system. Sucks he toy that mnisicas after only playing

695
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: like a week's worth of games in Brooklyn, where he

696
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 3: was holding his own. I think it was only eighty

697
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 3: nine games, but he still had the low walk rate,

698
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: be the medium walk rate, the low strike rate, the

699
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 3: good power. He's even playing some shortstop for Brooklyn. He's

700
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: a guy who looks like he might be a little

701
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 3: too stiff to play there, but the fact that while

702
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: he's still young, can do that is amazing, but just

703
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 3: while he was in Saint Lucy, one of the best

704
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: combinations of contact rate, power and discipline in the hole

705
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: in everyone for all of a ball and it's just

706
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: he had simp, we're gonna we're gonna take these like

707
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 3: one little things that happens spring training because they're still

708
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: important in that breakout game. His just By has laced

709
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 3: one hundred and twelve mile an hour line drive off

710
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: of Dj Hurs. Hears has been a good major league

711
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: pitcher this year. He's he's still an a ball and

712
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 3: he had the hardest ball he's ever hitt in his

713
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 3: life off him. So something be excited about just a

714
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: little torqued up motherfucker. And he's really, really, really good ballplayer.

715
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 2: He's just bias. Is how old again?

716
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 3: I want to say nineteen? Might I just turned twenty.

717
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Nineteen yees, so that would put him like in the

718
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: top one hundred basically the eggs and veilos this year

719
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball for players for Max Exville. It

720
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: needed that at the very young age against a guy

721
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: who was in the majors right now pitching for the

722
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: Nationals and pitching actually well, Dj Hurs all right, next up,

723
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: at number eight. Just what you thought James was, He's

724
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: all the way back in Baseball America had him ranked

725
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: at number fourteen. James said, you know what, I'm back

726
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: now people are done with him.

727
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm back in Luis on Helicunya.

728
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 3: Totally and again considering what Baseball America would have had,

729
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: like basically everyone this top tens from everyone to this

730
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 3: point's moved back too spots because they have Maurici on

731
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 3: Christian's guy ahead. But I'm back being excited about Louis

732
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: on Helicunya just simply as a major league baseball player.

733
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: That's it. Like I'm not telling you guys, he's gonna

734
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: be a superstar. He's never ever ever, I'm sorry to say,

735
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 3: is he's never even gonna get close to being his brother.

736
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: But I'm back to being like, this is our at

737
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: like hard, hard hitting Venezuelan wit Merrifield. This is like

738
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: because wi Louis on Hellacuney has done this year. That's

739
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 3: really made me changed my two on him is he

740
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: looks awesome in center field. He looks really good back there,

741
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 3: some natural instincts he just started playing the position. He

742
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: looked someone who could be like a positive center field

743
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: defender for a long time, who can mix it in

744
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 3: a short stop, and who could be plus at second

745
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: base and third base, and weirdly enough, one of the

746
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 3: highest hard hit percentages in all Triple A this year.

747
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: So while the mounting stats are still bad, the slash

748
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: line is still bad. Max s ex Vlossi is still

749
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: not good. It's about a hundred nine miles now almost

750
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten. This is still a guy who's

751
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: definitely major league. He's playing a full year of Triple

752
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: A baseball twenty two. He'd still be he would have

753
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 3: just gotten drafted. If you went to college, he'd be

754
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: right now in single layer Double A. Like this is

755
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 3: someone who his name kills him, Mets Twitter ruined him.

756
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 3: This is a major league baseball player who's gonna help

757
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: and he might not be an everyday player, but that's

758
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 3: still fine. We trade a bag of bones to get him,

759
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: and it we really did. Max sure as there's nothing

760
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: when we got rid of him. Thank god we got

761
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: rid of that contract.

762
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: We're having a.

763
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: Better season than Texas Rangers this year. We're way better

764
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: than Texas Rangers this year. And Louis and Hillcouni again

765
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a plus defender in center field. He's

766
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: gonna be a plus defender of every infield position beside Shortsop.

767
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: He's gonna be like an average defender of Shortsop for

768
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: a little while, and he could probably hit enough to

769
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 3: move around the diamond and be okay. He's kind of like,

770
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: he's kind of like if this is funny, this is

771
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: gonna be a funny cop. This is a real niche

772
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: one for the Mets fans. He's gonna be like, if

773
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 3: you're Danny Valdis, been was better.

774
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: If he was good, if he was a good baseball Yeah.

775
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: But the same vibes, And that's good for someone who

776
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: uses to yes, steelsent bases, make things happen. Just be

777
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: a good little ball player, not be a superstar. Do

778
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: not list the Mets twether. Sorry, his name is Akunya.

779
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: It's sad he had to go to the fucking MLB

780
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 3: office when he was twenty one years old ago and

781
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: never being that good. But it's fun little ball player,

782
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: that's all gonna day.

783
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a spark plug and that's exactly what this

784
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: team could use at times. You don't want to pay

785
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: for those guys, and he will be free, which is

786
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: where his true value will be.

787
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: I love a spark plug, and that's what he is. Again,

788
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: this is also a tier right here, the Kunya Bias,

789
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: Tong Barrow guys who you know, these are gonna be

790
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: major league players, but their breadth is still kind of wide. Yes,

791
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: then we move into the next tier, which is gonna

792
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: be I think we might just call this the Oklahoma

793
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: State Boys because at number seven we've got Carson Bench,

794
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: first round pick in the MLB Draft this past year,

795
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: outfielder from Oklahoma State. Just really good bat at the plate,

796
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: very quick hands, super good back to ball skills, good

797
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: plate discipline.

798
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: There's some pop in that bat. You want to see

799
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: him pull the ball in the air a little bit more,

800
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: which that is a little bit concerning, especially because we

801
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: know the Mets haven't really been able to get guys

802
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: to do that recently. But all the guts inside of

803
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Carson Bene make for a very good player. Yep.

804
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: And the Mets said that they're going to try him

805
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: in center field, which is something he didn't do in college.

806
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: But something again we've talked about, like just because someone

807
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: didn't do something doesn't mean they can't do it, so

808
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: cool to him, as are going to push him there

809
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: because he has a great arm. He's really athletic. Let's

810
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: push that envoy.

811
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: And also can't strutch enough. College baseball a little bit stupid,

812
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: even a little stupid.

813
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: It's kind of the joy of It's the beauty of

814
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: college baseball, though, Yeah, they like baseball can still be dumb.

815
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: They'll be like they'll be like one out man on first,

816
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: got to get him over the second put a bunch

817
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: down with my three hitter, like gotta put it, gotta get.

818
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: This bumped down.

819
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: Everyone's got to know how to do it. But coming

820
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: in down number six, someone who's divisive, and that's prospect circles,

821
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: but really fun. Someone that Carson benj accident ley said

822
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: was not a two way player anymore. Nolan McLean, who

823
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: we spoke lonely about. I'll never wave around him. He's

824
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 3: hit the speed bump in Double A. The stats aren't great,

825
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: but he also made I think I said it before,

826
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: what seventeen starts as a pitcher between high school and

827
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: Double A baseball, which is pretty remarkable. Stuff is still amazing.

828
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: The fastball sly their COMBA would be one of the

829
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: would create one of the best relievers in Major League Baseball. Today,

830
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: Mets are taking the long route with him, trying him

831
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: as a starting pitcher. He's working on a cover I

832
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: think there's been some murmurs about a change up being

833
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: mixed in there too. Crazy upside, Nolan McLean still really

834
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: loved him as a prospect.

835
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: He should be hitting a speed bump.

836
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: That's what happens, because if he didn't act be talking

837
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: about one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball,

838
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you'd be like, what Nolan McLean

839
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: next year Opening Day? Oh my god, what's happening. This

840
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: is what's going to happen. These are the things that

841
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: should happen. These are the things that keep you away

842
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: from being super human athletes, very very normal. And the

843
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: fact that he's no longer hitting, can focus on pitching

844
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: now full time. Excited to see what that can turn

845
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: him into as well.

846
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: Totally the divergence, the fork in the road for Nolan

847
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: McLean after spring training spring breakout running through a ball

848
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: was between really good prospect and prodigy. Yes, so sorry,

849
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: it's a shame he's not a full ont prodigy anymore.

850
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: But he's still a really good pitching prospect.

851
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: One hundred percent now getting the top five started. One

852
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: of my favorites, my guy from Tennessee, Blade ted Well.

853
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: I don't really know what to do with him because

854
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: his number are.

855
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: Bad at Triple A, Like there's no way around it,

856
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: Like they're just not very good. Is there a problem

857
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: with Triple A? Is Syracuse a hell hold of pitch?

858
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: And maybe he's not as good as we think, but

859
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: I still won't give him a blade big fastball, good

860
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: off speed, breaking ball, breaking pitches. Like I still think

861
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: he's a very solid pitcher, just maybe not gonna be

862
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: like a frontline starter, probably more so back at now.

863
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is again fine, which is why he gets

864
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: up into this tier where he's he's closer to the top,

865
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: not that upside, but on floor. And I'm safety like

866
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: I have so much confidence that Blade Tedwell will be

867
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: a major league pitcher like.

868
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: Walker Lockett was a major league pitcher. Blade Teddell's gonna

869
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: be better than him.

870
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Blade ted Well probably gets to be. This

871
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: is gonna be ugly for Mets fans. I think that's

872
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: fans want to be really excited about prospects. Not here

873
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: about floor. Blade Tidwell to me seems like a slightly

874
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 3: better version of David Peterson. Nice, But I'm saying like

875
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: dam Pearson's been great this year. Stars Dave Peters has

876
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: made for the mess. Now how much money Dave Piers

877
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: has saved the messin how many games he's helped him

878
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: win a lot? I think Blade Tidball is a little

879
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: bit better than him. And Blade a weird guy because

880
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: he he's so run by fastball velocity. He's never gonna

881
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 3: pop in these stuff models because he doesn't have one

882
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: of these, like you know, Silky's mood back spinning fastballs

883
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 3: because he comes on a very steep approach angle. But

884
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 3: sometimes when he gets himself to have velocities, He's had

885
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: some starts in trip laber he's sat in ninety five,

886
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 3: ninety six, even ninety seven. Fastball looks great and it'll

887
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 3: never get swings and misses, but he gets a lot

888
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: of soft contact. But then where Blade becomes really good

889
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 3: is the fact that he has a really good color.

890
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 3: He has a really good slider, he shows a good

891
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: change up, he shows a good sinker, he shows a

892
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: good curveball. He's a kitchen sink guy with velosity to

893
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: turn him into a high end guy. So Blade Tedwell

894
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: could put up some seasons in the major leagues where

895
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: if he gets all these things together, where you're like,

896
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 3: damn blay Tedwell's made twenty seven starts with three four yr. Yeah,

897
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: he could also have some seasons where like a damn

898
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: Blaytolle made twenty four starts to four to four yr.

899
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: But that's kind of the range where Blade Tedill is

900
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: probably gonna be around. It just depends how much of

901
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: that velocity he can't sustain and how comfortable he gets

902
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: with those secondary pitches using them in different counts.

903
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. We love Blade over here.

904
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: Also, Sick Name now coming in at number four is

905
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: where we get into the different tier. Now of who

906
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: these guys can maybe make some noise, that's gonna be

907
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Clifford, who is making some noise, to say the least,

908
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: James's guy. When we heard about the Verlander trade, immediately

909
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: the first player out James mouth was I hope we

910
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: get Ryan Clifford.

911
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: We did. He was giddy for the rest of the

912
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: day and for good reason.

913
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the seventh highest WRC plus in

914
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: Double A among players twenty one years or younger, and

915
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: he's just hitting extra base hits, walking, three true outcomes.

916
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: Monster, highest ISO isolated slugging percentage, which takes your slugging

917
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 3: percentage and takes out all the singles. So basically your

918
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: extra base hits highest ISO by far of any player

919
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 3: in Double A aged twenty one younger, and bry Clifford

920
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: just turned twenty one a month ago. He's he's showing

921
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: prodigious power. The bats of ball isn't as good as

922
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: it was it was said to be when got him

923
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: in the job in the in the trade and also

924
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 3: through the draft process, but the power really hides that,

925
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 3: and the fact that he probably is just a first

926
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 3: base defender at the next level, he's gonna have to

927
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: hit for a lot of power. But he is hitting

928
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 3: for a ton of power. He's doing things at Double

929
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 3: A that no one is doing, especially no one his age.

930
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: Every single pitch he's facing is older than him. I

931
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 3: think there's only four or five pitchers the whole level

932
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: that other age twenty one younger. One of them's Robbie Snelling.

933
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: I think Bubba Chandler when he started the year. I

934
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 3: want to say, Letsko might have been. So you're seeing

935
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 3: trend with these Padres guys, but I can't remember all

936
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: of them right now. It's a really good package here

937
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: with Clifford, he to me is like on his own

938
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: tier of prospects between Blaye and the next tier, which

939
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 3: are really high in prospects because the ceiling just can't

940
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 3: be insane because he's a first baseman that doesn't make

941
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: a ton of contact that much, like close to two

942
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 3: hundred times a year. Yeah, totally, like he's going to

943
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: be a thirty percent strikeout rick guy who doesn't give

944
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: you that much defensive value. So like he's it's which is, uh,

945
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 3: who's this? Sound like Lucas Duda exactly? And that'd be great,

946
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: That would be fucking awesome. That's like the sixty fifth

947
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: percentile outcome for Ryan Clifford right now. I would want

948
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 3: to say, is Lucas do the but still the way

949
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: he's so good right now in Double A, you're almost

950
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 3: trending toward like a bon of five major league player

951
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: who still has some upside. He could just really hone

952
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 3: in maybe on the pitch selection, maybe be a little

953
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 3: less patient, which we don't say often about prospects, but

954
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: maybe just take some hacks. Ryan and Shallot, Ryan cliff

955
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 3: his dad bakes a poor the hopey comments in this

956
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 3: channel because Ryan Clifford is a top five prospect the

957
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 3: Mets system one.

958
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Hundred percent at number three. Jet Williams, this is a

959
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: dude of course that everybody in Mets world super excited about.

960
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 2: Prospect people are excited about.

961
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: He just doesn't get to play this year because of injuries,

962
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: which is so frustrating because he was nineteen years old

963
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: at double A, which is just you don't you don't

964
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: get to see that too often, especially for a middle

965
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: and field maybe centerfield guy. Crazy tools on him, smaller dude.

966
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: He's our little jose Al Tuvey build. But he's just

967
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: he's a good ballplayer and.

968
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 2: A great dude.

969
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 3: This was our This was our most contentious ranking. I

970
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: think it will be Mark and I because everything about

971
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: Jets profile, everything he's done so far, he looks like

972
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 3: he could be easily number one over our prospecting system.

973
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: If you guys look at it the list, most people

974
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: will give them numbering over a prospect thing and last

975
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 3: year Jet, it's between a ball and a little bit

976
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 3: of double A. Only three nineteen year olds in all

977
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: of minor league baseball had a walk great bed than

978
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 3: fifteen percent, a swing strike great lower than ten percent,

979
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 3: and ops over eight fifty. That was Jet Williams pretty good,

980
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: Jackson Holliday really fucking good, Roman Anthony really really good.

981
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 3: So that's the level he put himself on last year.

982
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: The only problem with Jet Williams, the only thing he

983
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 3: hasn't done is play this year, which sucks. He just

984
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: busted that rist early and the other guys on this

985
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 3: list has nothing to do with Jet Williams. Just they've

986
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: they've crushed the upper miners where Jet just hasn't had

987
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: the opportunity to do that yet. So excited see Jet

988
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: Williams come back. It's been a lost season, which sucks

989
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: that he was on the fast track, but him dropping

990
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 3: down to three from most list one has more to

991
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: do with other guys being good than Jen not being good.

992
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: Correct, it's not It's not a detriment to him, it's

993
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: a plus to these other guys at number two, the

994
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: big one, Brandon Sprote, the goat.

995
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: We got his triple A numbers.

996
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: I know he had a first bats start, we talked

997
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: about it earlier, but this has become one of the

998
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: most exciting pitching prospects in all of baseball. And the

999
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: fact that he is at Triple A this year gives.

1000
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: You there he might he might be up at some

1001
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 2: point this year. Totally.

1002
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's a big pat in the

1003
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: back for me because in the in the universe, I

1004
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: was first to brandis Probe being a top hundred prospect.

1005
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: I saw him throw one inning and training and I

1006
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: was like, this guy is at bona fide guarantee, the

1007
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: top hundred prospect. And now we've seen the list like

1008
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: Baseball America put him in I think in the top fifty.

1009
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 3: Fangrass has him in the top twenty five. I think

1010
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 3: he's the best number one overall prospect now in Fangrafts

1011
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: Baseball perspectives has n't been their top forty. I saw

1012
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 3: just Baseball Media the other day put him in there.

1013
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: I think he's their number three overall pitching prospect in baseball.

1014
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 3: I got TJ. Stashs Thomas, Nesico, great follow for pitching

1015
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: staff on stuff on Twitter. He has him I think

1016
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: between two and four in his top pitching prospects in

1017
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 3: all baseball.

1018
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: It's ninety five on Baseball America right now.

1019
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 3: Okay, it's ninety five, so there's still the lowest on him.

1020
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: I understand why because it definitely is still some command issues.

1021
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 3: There's definitely still some sequencing issues, which we saw for

1022
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: him in that first Triple A start. He kept throwing

1023
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: his sinkers against lefties, which we've known is not a

1024
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 3: great thing. That sinker just rides the battle of the

1025
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: path of the barrel, and he gave a couple of

1026
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: home runs specifically on that singer, specifically two lefties. But

1027
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 3: he throws one hundred miles an hour. He has multiple

1028
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 3: secondary pitches down there, plus major league caliber. His change

1029
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: up might be the best in all minor league baseball.

1030
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 3: The curveball is good. The sweeper is the big one

1031
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: for him. He's been developing it. It's not as consistent,

1032
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 3: but the high end of it is crazy. His shape

1033
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 3: kind of goes all over the place. Again, we had

1034
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: a Triple A data for the one start on Thursday.

1035
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: It looked good, but he wasn't able to really do

1036
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 3: it consistently, which is going to be a big, big

1037
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: thing for him because the changeup he eats left. He's

1038
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 3: alive with that change up. Again, maybe he's not throwing

1039
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 3: the sinker, but the fastball and sinker also had distinc shapes.

1040
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: He had the second best strike out rate, strike up

1041
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: minus walk rate of all pitchers in Double A. He had,

1042
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: he was top of the line, and basically every single

1043
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 3: stat in Double A. He's become one of the best

1044
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 3: pitching prospects in baseball. Now, Mets fans, we can hang

1045
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: our hats on turning this guy in one year from

1046
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 3: being drafted to being one of the best pitching prospects

1047
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: in baseball. And again, of all pitchers in double A,

1048
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 3: best strike up minus walk great, best wing strike great,

1049
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 3: second best whip, third best strikeout rate, fourth best whip

1050
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: and tenth best ERA. That's one of the best pitching

1051
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 3: prospects in baseball. Hands out to me.

1052
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: And again, if he continues to pitch as well as

1053
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: he has a Triple A, maybe maybe a little maybe

1054
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: a little postseason bullpen ar for the Mets here, you

1055
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: never know. Remember Benter tried to something similar few years

1056
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: ago for the Braves on the World Series run. That

1057
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: is true, all right, coming in at number one. We

1058
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: haven't said his name yet. You know who it is.

1059
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: Drew Gilbert, outfielder Triple A. He's battled injuries this year,

1060
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: but he's finally back healthy, finally starting to play again.

1061
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: He's a dog. We love Drew Gilbert.

1062
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: When he also came over in the Justin Verlanders, who

1063
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: were like both of these guys, Gilbert and Clifford, Oh

1064
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe it. And now the fact

1065
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: that we're not gonna have to pay Justin Verlanders contract

1066
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: the vesting option because he can't throw, Oh my god, fleece, fleece.

1067
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: Billy Eppler masterclass, and Gilbert gets on top of this

1068
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: list also weirdly again, sorry this isn't as fun. Not

1069
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: because he has the highest ceiling of any prospect in

1070
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: the Mets system, because he probably has the highest floor.

1071
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: Drew Gilbert dominated the SEC last year. He dominated Double

1072
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: A was a really hard thing to do. Is are

1073
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: very high levels. He plays center field well and he's

1074
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna stick there for a few years. He gets power,

1075
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 1: he makes a ton of contact. He has that true

1076
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: like leader clubhouse ability, Like I can't wait for him

1077
00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: in Francisco wild for it has to be in the

1078
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: same oh a lot because we're gonna be dripping and

1079

1080
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: had to pulls Hamstering this year because you would have

1081
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: Ben Gambles rosters spot, he'd be in the major leagues

1082
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: right now, he'd be part of this playoff push.

1083
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 3: He might not make it this year because of the injury.

1084
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: He still might still might.

1085
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 3: Well see what happens Starling mart today if you pull

1086
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 3: something else on the way back. But love Drew Gilbert.

1087
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 3: He just he has everything you want in major League

1088
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: baseball player. Everything you want from like the five hitter

1089
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 3: in your line and maybe a two hitter when he's

1090
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 3: really at his best. Does so many things well, could play, discipline, power, contact,

1091
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: five fucking everything.

1092
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: I love Drew Gilbert.

1093
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like ceiling wise, we've always been

1094
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: like he probably comps out to nemo ish where it's

1095
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: like a guy who's gonna like get on base a bunch,

1096
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: be a center fielder that's pretty good at times, end

1097
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 1: up in the corner towards the end of his career,

1098
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: and have some pop in that bat too for Drew Gilbert,

1099
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: which you love to say, and.

1100
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: Lefty hither which helps helps that ceiling helps that floor.

1101
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: I've always thought I always saw like if Shinshu Chu

1102
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: was a psychopath, Okay.

1103
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, if shin Su Chu was like raised in the South,

1104
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: or no, he's from Minnesota.

1105
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: He's from Minnesota, Drew Gilbert.

1106
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: You know, if Shintu Chu went to the SE, went

1107
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 3: to the SEC, took the SEC ones his personality.

1108
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Tony Vaitello as his coach. All right, guys,

1109
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: that is gonna be our top twenty five. Some guys

1110
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 1: that he did not hear. Of course. Alex Ramirez hand up.

1111
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: We missed on that guy years and years ago. But

1112
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: he was so exciting.

1113
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 2: He can't blame us.

1114
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: And then we said next to him and he's six

1115
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: foot one hundred, Like I mean to be excited about

1116
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: that guy. He's struggled mightily at double A. Looks pretty

1117
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: horrible there. Don't really know what's going on, don't really

1118
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: know what's next. Roux Ramirez. Colin Hawk is another name

1119
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier that did not make this list. Mess

1120
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: around first round pick from two years ago. Just really

1121
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: bad numbers at Lowe last year. Yeah, really bad numbers

1122
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: at Lowe, striking out nearly forty percent of the time,

1123
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: which is concerning lots of aras. No pop can't put

1124
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: him on this list right now, even if he was

1125
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: a first round pick. He's got to show us something,

1126
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: something to give us some hope. There another name, Kevin Parata,

1127
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: another former first round pick, Billy Eppler, masterclass just not

1128
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: doing anything well at all. That's kind of yeah, he could,

1129
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: he could have snuck into the back of this. He's

1130
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: had a really good last month.

1131
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: But even as he's doing well, he's still striking out

1132
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 3: thirty percent of time as at Double A as a

1133
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: polished college hither in Double A. It's just not yeah,

1134
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 3: it was. It just seems like it was a miss.

1135
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 3: And it gets a little worse because I don't know

1136
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 3: if you've seen this is gonna be the people who

1137
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 3: stick to the end of this video. Kumar Rocker looks.

1138
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 2: So back, so good.

1139
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 3: He's draft surgery. He looks insanely good.

1140
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: Picked him up in Dynasty Leagues Nice.

1141
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 3: It might have been another miss. Shame on us for

1142
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 3: that one. But yeah, those three guys are the big misses.

1143
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, I'm really proud

1144
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 3: of his prospect list. Mets I think, hands down probably

1145
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: have a top top ten, top twelve farm system in

1146
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 3: all baseball, which is a big upshot more we were

1147
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 3: two years ago. Happy about this.

1148
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely much better than where we once were and

1149
