Whatever issues Jud Fabian had during opening weekend seem to have been figured out.
Fourth HR in his last four games.

Fabian to me needs to show up vs SEC pitching and the Miami/Florida St games out of conference for him. The swing and miss write ups scare me and we know he’s good enough to hit well vs the Samfords of the world.

The swing and miss write ups scare me and we know he’s good enough to hit well vs the Samfords of the world. Totally agree - he's striking out in almost 40% of his at bats and still hasn't even faced any quality competition (outside of the Miami series, where he struggled). Still very early, though.

Sounds a bit like George Springer.

Fabian 4 bombs in 7 games against college players, ehh does not count not against a good school. HS prospects against little league pitching, look at his tool set he is batting .400 lol.

Kumar didn’t have the most efficient outing today. Those walks just need to come down. Jack a little wild in the 1st as well.

He did well in the the woodbat league where he was the youngest person in attendance. I think he’ll be ok...but we shall see.

Love this. Between the stuff, command, poise, and the major league pedigree, you have to wonder whether Leiter is in the mix for 1-1.

I get it but I wouldn’t want to draft a guy with those swing and miss issues in the top five. Granted he could improve them but those scouting reports are red flags especially when he probably doesn’t stick in CF. He went 1-13 with 7 Ks in the Miami series all I’m saying is let’s see what he does in conference.

That's why I hope they go pitching, it always seems like bloom reads pitching prospects better then anyone the red sox have had in my lifetime. I still think Fabian turns in to a decent player maybe clint Frazier type of prospect.

That said I think if the FO likes either Leiter or rocker I’m fine with the pick.

Joe Doyle pointed out the Henry Davis out of Louisville has like 22 at bats. He’s done damage with a couple dingers, walked 6 times, strike out 0 times, and here’s the kicker, only swung and missed once. And that one was a 3 and 0 cut going for the moon. I mean those numbers are insane coming from a catcher, let alone a good athletic catcher with a near 70 arm.

One of the surprises of the First Year Player draft could be Justice Thompson, who will be 21 on July 8 (three days before the first day of the draft) which begins uly 11 this year. The 20-year-old sophomore transfer from Northwestern Florida is off to a sensational start at the University of North Carolina.

Another interesting guy who has gotten off to a hot start is Luca Tresh, C, NC State (rated #54 currently by MLB Pipeline). He's started out hitting .458 and OPS'ing 1.644 in his first 24 ABs. Hit three bombs against #15 Georgia Tech. Always good to see catchers that project to stay at the position mash.

Ty madden also dominated this weekend with 11 ks no runs, and one walk. Plus on the guy is pitcher build, smooth wind up, mid 90s plus heat that he maintains deep in games, nice slider, and good change up. Draw back? Super high release point which used to be good but now is considered bad....so it goes.

I just asked him if the over the top delivery is an issue and said definitely not. Just a preference thing. Heavy fastball at that velocity still valuable in his opinion.
