Posted by Tony-OH,

Initial take:  A college senior who turns 23 this October. Per Brad Ciolek: sits 92-94, touches 96, has feel for the slider and a plus changeup. Heard from another scout that he has really good stuff so he's a legitimate 5th rounder, not a senior sign 10K guy.

6'1 195 Senior sign

 

BA Scouting Report:
Tavera combined with Tanner King this season to throw Texas-Arlington’s first no-hitter since 1983. Tavera went nine innings on that day, but it took Texas-Arlington 11 innings to win the game, 1-0. That was just part of a dominating season where Tavera went 3-4, 3.04 with 12.7 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9. His 117 strikeouts ranked 25th among Division I pitchers. Tavera has gone from sitting in the high 80s to 91-93 mph with the Mavericks. In addition to his average fastball, he spins an above-average slider and mixes in a changeup. His delivery is a very simple one—he has an abbreviated takeaway that ensures his delivery is repeatable.

w/o scouts on the ground, maybe they just don't have enough "data" on high school guys?

We shouldn't be at any disadvantage in relation to other teams at that, and other teams seem to be taking HS guys.

One reason we HAD to go heavily into the international market was because if you ignore ANY potential pipeline you will be handicapping your ability to build as strong a system as other teams.   I would think high school draftees would be an important part of that pipeline.

Kinda stinks when the write-up doesn't mention his stuff. Good results. Is he a pitchability guy? 

It's not a scouting writeup from BA or somewhere.   Looks like it's from the UT-A press guide.   Sort of a different animal.

      Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
