Stanford first baseman.

[MurphDogg]

Fangraphs had him as the third best remaining college junior position player, following two catchers.

[Moose Milligan]

Aw man.  I saw "CI" and thought it was a lower case L.  I thought he was a closer and we were going to get some bullpen help.

Are we just going to draft Stanford's whole team?

I hate to wonder this outwardly, but one could get the impression that Elias either loves that scout or (my concern) doesn't have enough other trusted scouts for kids across the country.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not necessarily questioning any of those picks, I just don't really like the coincidence.

[Edit: Now watch all three Stanford guys become top prospects for the O's in the next 2 years. Lol.]

Contact slow-motion (starting at 1:42, where this link begins), then shots of fielding

Could be that he feels there's some flaw or weakness in the coaching at Stanford that he thinks can be corrected for.

Or, what you said.

Or, could just be total coincidence.

I like his lower half. Generates a lot of power there and it looks like through the hips.

The DeCosta Ravens have Oklahoma, the Elias Orioles have Stanford.

Last three seasons, Stanford has finished second, first and second in the PAC-12 standings (probably the best college baseball conference; maybe the SEC).  It's also possible they just happen to have a lot of good players.
