Sounds like he could be a great QB in a spread system. Similar size to a certain Heisman Trophy winner last year. If the O's can't sign him, maybe he could still wear orange next year, but have it accompanied by blue. Why go to Nebraska when you can when a Heisman at Auburn.:D

Well, I'll give you this. He'd probably make more money agreeing to go to Auburn to win a Heisman. Their boosters would match or exceed whatever an MLB Club is going to offer...

Sign me up.

If I'm reading correctly, he seems like a top 3 talent in the draft (Rendon/Cole), with upside galore.

Considering talent alone, is anyone else in their category?

I think you have a list of around 8-9 players that right now could claim 1:1 upside/talent.

Maybe Rendon/Cole/Purke/Jungmann/Starling/Springer/Gray/Barnes/Bradley/Norris?

Some other guys that could climb up, too. Sure I forgot someone.

This is comforting to hear. I forget his exact spot in your rankings (5-7?), but Jungmann seems really enticing to me.

It sounds like the O's should get a VERY good player almost no matter what they do.

I'm still crossing my fingers that all of this top-line talent and upside, combined with Rendon's injury, allows him (rendon) to fall to the O's.

Yeah, it's tough to picture a "bad" pick with this class.

Is he a great athlete who is playing baseball or a baseball player who is a great athlete?

The best I heard was once in a generation athleticism in a player destined to play Center Field. He plays 3 sports, so the amount of formal instructional time received in baseball pales in comparison to most top prospects. Tabula Rasa for our coaching staff (for better or worse)

      Do you ever keep count how many times the fans are wrong and Hyde is right?   I didn't think so.

      At one time, the Orioles seemed to be in the minority regarding keeping guys under wraps and to lower pitch counts.  Now this seems to be the rule among teams in the minors.

      Billy Cook 2023

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Billy Cook just keeps grinding his way along.   He gets a little better every year while advancing through the system.  He's at .862 OPS overall but .929 after almost 100 PA at Norfolk.   Striking out less.  Walking more.  Hitting more doubles but less homers so far.  Stealing some bases.  Playing all three OF positions, 1B and 2B.   Can I get a top 30 for this kid @Tony-OH? 😄

      He isn’t letting Grayson coming off a shoulder issue throw a bunch of pitches. I’m sure they had a number in mind before the game.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      You aren't going to impress me with Kremer being the only decent player they got for Machado.  Sorry, that isn't an example of his competence.  As for Means, he got his improvement as a result of going outside of the system with an outside baseball training facility.   He gets a lot of credit for GrayRod though as many criticized the pick.

      Interesting new tactic to avoid draft being discouraged by MLB

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The Bryce move was less controversial because he didn't escape the guardrails of the draft regulating one and only one Club he had the opportunity to sell his labor to. Last CBA round during the international draft negotiations Tony Clark gave out a quote like "in principle we don't like drafts of any kind" Being selfish for Orioles and with Elias having the extra pool money this year because of Gunnar, I've wondered if Ethan Holliday could quick drop out of 11th grade with a few weeks to go, grab that GED, play one game for Stillwater Community College and earn reclassification to 2024.     Then he just needs to pull that John Elway or Eli Manning thing.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By justD · Posted

      Received my voucher email last night (they'll be in my account as of May 24).  There's no way they could've known I was there for the whole game, so it appears everyone who had a ticket for that game and a MyOriolesTicket account received a voucher. Pretty generous!  Good for 2024, most M-Th games (select "blackout" dates excluded).
