2021 Draft Thread

I wouldn’t hate taking Jud Fabian.  Apparently he’s good enough defensively to stick in CF and has above average speed.  Could be a poor man’s Mike Cameron.

Was supposed to be a top 5-10 pick entering the year.

Could also be a poor man’s Keon Braxton. 
 

79 Ks in 269 PAs in college is very concerning.

Rich man's Felix Pie.

(slightly joking, he runs better routes than Pie did in the outfield and has more power with the same amount of holes in the swing)

Hoping we go over-slot for Anthony Solometo, the big HS lefty from NJ.

Have you seen his delivery? Very unusual. Not sure how he does that consistently. He looks like he’s falling down

Like MadBum's.  He's supposedly got his velo up to 96, and his wipeout slider might be his best pitch.

True.  I’d be willing to take that gamble at 41.

I most likely wouldn’t, unless he’s a gold glove caliber CF.

Agreed.  He's got some big legs to go with his frame so he's not some skinny rail out there.  The mocks, which we've seen are no way reliable, had the Rays all over Solometo.  Since the Rays took Carson Williams, my hope for the O's second pick, I'd love to see the O's snag Solometo.

Here we go, should get to the O's pick within the next 15 minutes.

Well crap, there goes that hope. Thanks Pittsburgh.

Aaron Zavala to Texas. Izaac Pacheco to Detroit. Jud Fabian to Red Sox.

O's on the clock!

Connor Norby!

I am bias, but I watch a lot of East Carolina baseball, and I would love to see us draft Connor Norby at 41 today.  If the O's are looking for another big time college bat which seems to be what they have been focusing on, I think this guy fits the mold and he isn't another OF which is nice.

Nice call. He's our guy.
