KC going off the boards again.  Blake Mitchell at 1:8.

High school catcher's got to be popular on Royals Hangout.

With Lowder and Dolladner gone, Waldrep is really the only top-end college pitcher left. Unless he falls eight picks, I imagine we're seeing the O's take a hitter.

Best day of the year!

Reminds me of when they took Frank Mozzicato in 2021.  I just looked at his stats.  Not mind blowing but only just reached A+.

Noble Meyer selected by Miami at 1:10.

Lots of pitchers going even though the track record is so much tougher.  Interesting.

I guess we can't fault Mike Elias for not selecting a pitcher in the first round if Waldrep is selected before #17.

Kim Ng maxes out on Meyers with Noble Meyer.

Correction, Brad Ciolek.

Every team can't ignore pitching for the first five rounds.

It's really just a group of three or four college guys and one or two high school pitchers and then the top-tier pool is tapped. That's probably why you're seeing a bit of a run on it, but it'll presumably peter out real soon.

Angels select Nolan Schanuel 1:11.  I wonder if they rush him to the majors at a young age.
