2021 11th round pick (317): Dylan Heid - RHP - (Senior) Pittsburgh-Johnstown

[Three Run Homer]

I'm not clear about whether this guy's fastball is 91-94 or 94-96.  Obviously it makes a big difference--at age 23 there's not a lot of physical projection left.  

I understand the general point that college seniors will be a more talented group this year than normal, due to last year's draft being 5 rounds.  But still, wouldn't it be true that the best college seniors should be drafted before round 11?   Especially since there are benefits to going underslot in rounds 1-10, but not afterwards?

I'd go with 91-94 which is what he was throwing in the Draft League. I'm not even sure where the 94-96 came from which is why i said, "reportedly".

I think the 94-96 came from this article. Interesting that we took both guys at the top of this list.

Yeah, I'm not sure where they got those numbers from because the 91-94 came directly from the PBR site that had statcast data for all the draft league players. Plus, if he was throwing 94-96, he would have went before the 11th round.

Oh I gotcha. Yeah, it would be a bit surprising for a guy like that to still be available. But if somehow, that's true, I'll take it! Haha.

FWIW this link this hour is reflecting Collin Burns signed at 375K and Trendon Craig signed at 250K.

75K.  Who got the lowest bonus amount among our 21 picks?

Has a Kyld Bradish lite vibe.

After almost a full year we finally have a Dylan Heid sighting.   He just entered the FCL Orioles game and had a very uneven inning of work.  2 strikeouts, 2 walks, 1 hit, 1 run.

Heid, to the best of my knowledge, was drafted last year but did not make his professional debut until today.
