My final guess for 1st rd pick

[sevastras]

Colt Emerson…

I see there isn’t much action on the draft since they are winning 12-1 currently vs the Twins and on the year. 

[Il BuonO]

Nope, getting a pitcher this time, maybe Waldrep.

[ChosenOne21]

Gonna go out on a limb and say it will be someone no one has tied us to. Elias tends to defy industry expectations.

[odogs101]

My guess is Chase Davis. Really fits the model for type of hitter Elias has a tendency to draft. Big power and exit velos, good swing decisions etc. Seen him compared favorably to Kerstad. Probably a small haircut on bonus to spread around too.

[Roll Tide]

 

Arjun Nimmala SS

[Otter]

My guess based on past history is an underslot college bat where they can draft a few overslot HS hitters later (like the Mayo draft).  Using this reasoning, I'd guess Brock Wilken.

My personal preference would be Waldrep if he's still around; if not I'd love to have a speedy CF in the system in Enrique Bradfield Jr.

I just think they continue down the path they’ve preferred to this point.

I think there's an excellent chance he'll be gone by the time we pick

[Alasdaire]

I try not to get in the business of falling in love with potential draftees in any sport since you're just asking to get let down when your team doesn't take them.

All I can say is that the O's will have their choice of several talented hitters who in most years wouldn't be available in the second-half of the first round. And at this point, I trust whichever one they select.

[Just Regular]

Longenhagen chat just highlighted Nimmala 27% K rate in prep ball, not sure where that falls relative to the famous Elijah Green, 12th grader striking out, number from last year.

[FlaO'sFan]

Nolan Schanuel.

[emmett16]

Bryce Eldridge 

[Getz]

Chase Davis
