77 Griffin McLarty

79 Cristian Javier, #9 of Astros top 30

80 Casey Mize, # 7 0f MLB top 100

103 Matthew Liberatore #41 of MLB top 100

134 Jackson Kowar, # 5 of KC's top 30

140 Brady Singer, #52 of MLB top 100

147 Jackson Rutledge, #3 of Nat's top 30

209 Ryan Rolison, #84 of MLB top 100

212 Daniel Lynch, #69 of MLB top 100

258 Shane Baz, #94 of MLB top 100

That's some highly thought of names to be in front of.

It’s just stat based projection, (similar to Katoh) so the season Rom has at 19 in full season ball is extremely strong.

Oh, I realized that.    It still surprised me to see him so high.    I think I’m going to post a Sparkman thread over on the minors board.

Gotcha. Good call starting a thread.

And just so everyone knows, I didn’t mean it was “just a statistical projection” in a dismissive way. This is probably the best publicly available system with Katoh gone dark.

I’m assuming the lower number is considered better?

Sorry, yes, the number on the left is the Sparkman number with 1 being the highest rated.

And if McLarty provides more value than Mize, Liberatore, Kowar, Singer, and the others, he's definitely a draft steal. That would be amazing.

Feel like a statistical model worth it's weight would just fade numbers in short season for college players. Rom makes sense for being a 19 year old in full season. McLarty numbers should just really be N/A right now. IMO

It’s mostly from his college numbers, this model takes college performance into effect.

      Poll - Would you trade Cowser, McDermott, Norby, and Stowers for Crochet?

      By Malike · Posted

      They're all untouchable. Maybe they'll take Hays, Mateo, and Mullins for Skubal or Miller.

      Jonathan Mayo has O's taking Caleb Lomavita, C, California with 1/22

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      "It’s possible the O’s would love for Lomavita to be available with their next pick at 32, but he might not be there, so we’ll give him the edge over the other college hitters still available or pitchers like Cijntje or Iowa’s Brody Brecht." He also has  24. Braves: Brody Brecht, RHP, Iowa 26. Yankees: Jurrangelo Cijntje, RHP/LHP, Mississippi State  https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-pipeline-2024-mock-draft-july-4 Lomavita came out of a St. Louis High School program in Hawaii that produced such big leaguers as Jordan Yamamoto and Brandon League, but didn’t garner much pro attention in his senior season in 2021. He started making a name for himself as a freshman at Cal, then raised his profile with a .979 OPS and 16 homers as a sophomore. Hitting well for two straight summers in the Cape Cod League hasn’t hurt, making him one of the better catching prospects in the class. Lomavita’s stock has soared as his bat potential has improved. He utilizes an unusual approach and swing mechanics from the right side, with the drop of his back leg to create a launch-oriented swing, but he routinely finds the barrel. He can drive the ball to all fields and really started to tap into his raw power in 2023 as he chased less and recognized spin better. The chase rate did creep back up this spring and Lomavita could use some approach refinement as he is a very aggressive hitter who swings at everything. He runs very well for a catcher and can steal a bag with excellent instincts on the basepaths. While his athleticism helps him behind the plate, he’s still learning the nuances of receiving. He has plus arm strength, it would easily be a 60 arm from third base, but he’s still learning to shorten his arm stroke and quicken his release behind the plate. He could handle the hot corner or even the outfield if needed, but there’s no reason to think he can’t stick behind the dish and he was appearing to win the Northern California college catcher battle with Stanford’s Malcolm Moore. Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 50 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50

      Well when our top three are top 5 overall prospects it only makes sense that our top 15 are all top 50.

      Trade scenarios always crack me up here.  OH: We need a guy like Skubal, Crochet, or Miller. Also OH: I wouldn't trade anyone in the top 15 for them though.

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      https://www.forbes.com/sites/danepstein/2024/02/19/eight-mlb-teams-could-exceed-the-cbt-threshold/ I don't think they are going to give up a superior return over that small a sum.

      Jud Fabian, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      It so happens that right now Jud Fabian has one fewer PA at AA this year than he had last year.   Here’s a comparison. 2023: 288 PA, 238 AB, 36 R, 42 H, 6 2B, 1 3B, 15 HR, 31 RBI, 12 SB, 2 CS, 44 BB, 108 K’s, .177/.314/.399, 37.5% K rate, 15.3% BB rate. 2024: 287 PA, 248 AB, 39 R, 56 H, 8 2B, 1 3B, 13 HR, 38 RBi, 8 SB, 3 CS, 27 BB, 82 K’s, .226/.309/.423, 28.6% K rate, 9.4% BB rate.   Obviously the K rate is way down and consequently the BA is way up, but OBP actually has declined slightly due to a much lower BB rate.  This makes me wonder if Fabian has actually reduced his percentage of swinging strikes, or if he’s just swinging more often. Per Fangraphs, at Bowie Fabian has increased his line drive rate from 13.9% to 18.9%, while his fly ball rate has dropped from 54.6% to 49.1%.  More strikingly, his pull percentage has dropped from 59.5% to 45.1% while his opposite field rate has increased from 15.3.% to 27.2%.    All of that suggests some pretty radical changes to Fabian’s swing and approach, but a pretty modest change in bottom line results (98 wRC+ to 105 wRC+).   Fabian is in a 10-game slump (.103/.217/.205), so his “modest” improvement would have looked a lot better if I’d done this comparison before his recent slide.   Hopefully he will get back on track shortly.

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I picture Scherzer as purely a salary dump for Texas. They are up against it in terms of Luxury tax. I also see Scherzer as a start to start pitcher in terms of durability. Not willing to give up more than a AAAA guy and a lottery ticket prospect.
