The best tools in college baseball! He’s a 30/30 guy if the Orioles can help him get better!

Aside from that pesky hit tool.

That's not an important one right?

He sounds like a better version of Jud Fabian.  I wanted a pitcher badly, so I'm a bit disappointed, but I have a lot of faith in Elias.

I'm wrong a lot, but when I go hard against a pick, I'm not wrong.

What top Elias pick have you gone against?

[ChosenOne21]

This might be the most Elias pick ever.

We need pitching. I think we have enough college outfielders. That said, Honeycutt has a nice ceiling and I like having him in the organization.

I wish we had gotten an arm that could move fast. This seems like Fabian 2.0.  

But more steals. And more home runs.  Hard to completely compare given the number of years played, but a slightly lower k rate as a jr than Fabian had.

Is it just the top 30 tonight? 

Through round 2 (and Comp Round B). O's have 2 more picks tonight.

Yeah, huge upside but I’m not crazy about it either.

What’s this mean? Book isn’t done on Fabian yet.

Great, an outfielder with a high strike out rate. The lack of front end pitching will work itself out just because.

This now opens up chance to move Bradfield as the center piece in a deal.

Hard?

None of them.

Wasn't super fond of Kjerstad but I wasn't Grenier or Hobgood upset about it.

I'd rather see a pitcher but you aren't getting something in a player at this point in the draft.

Thank you!

Definitely not an under slot guy.  

A couple places mentioned he could fall to the comp a round, and another mentioned we were his best chance to be a first rounder. I wouldn’t say he’s definitely not. Not like he was a surprise slide on draft day, he’s been projected down at or below our pick for a few weeks.
