Looks like he is committed to Northwest Florida.  Seems like an odd pick.  He isn't ranked terribly high.

Qrey Lott is listed in the PERFECT GAME web entry and has a lot of analytics listed. https://www.perfectgame.org under player profiles.  FYI- apparently Michael Forret (#14 pick) was also a PERFECT GAME product.

Idk if there is such a thing as an odd pick in the 15th round of an MLB draft.  Unless they drafted you or me.  That would be odd.

Our SE scout evidently was banging the table hard enough. I’m sure he’s a big time athlete. That’s been our MO this draft.

We’re going to have to readjust our thinking to what it is like to take a HS bat that is far away. He’s looking like he’ll need 2 years in the FCL. Which isn’t a bad thing.

What's the cost going to be here?  A little over slot?  Way over slot?

250K or less.   Same with Kollin Ritchie.   These guys are interesting but they don’t seem like big overslot guys.   Maybe just toolsy long shots who want to play pro ball instead of getting the college experience.

He announced today he will be going to college.  

Never heard of Northwest Florida State...

Good for him...wish him the best.

Disappointing.  I was hoping we’d sign at least one of the HS hitters.    It would be disappointing to miss out on all three of Lott, Ritchie, and Witt.
