64 Malcolm Moore C McClatchy Sacramento, CA Moore's was a significant riser in 2021. After showing out at Area Code Games in August, he came to WWBA and continued to mash. He's got plenty of power, with a smooth and condensed load to go with it. Very good hitter and solid behind the dish, as well. Most believe, because of the bat specifically, Moore is one of the Top 5 prep catchers available in the 2022 crop. _________________ Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 45 | Field: 45 | Overall: 50 In 2020, the northern California high school ranks produced a left-handed-hitting, offensive-minded catcher in Tyler Soderstrom, who the local Oakland A's landed in the first round of the Draft. This year’s version might be Moore, who has been getting some Soderstrom comps in terms of what he can do at the plate. Few doubt Moore, also a lefty-swinging backstop, can and will hit. He has a really good feel for the barrel and can impact the baseball, something on display at times this past summer on the showcase circuit, particularly at the Area Code Games. With a solid overall approach, he should be able to get to his pop and produce above-average power in the future. There are more questions about Moore’s ability to stick behind the plate. He has a fringy, though accurate arm, and while he moves decently enough to block balls well, he’s not a great receiver and he’s likely to slow down. His commitment to Stanford and the fact he’ll be 19 shortly after the Draft will deter some teams, though he does have the bat and power combination to profile well at first if catching doesn’t work out and he could re-emerge in a couple of years as a power-hitting college performer if the Draft doesn’t go his way. |

Interesting write up on Moore, though it does feel like the Sox have been a team that fairly heavily factors draft age. edit: Wow, that's a weird mock draft. I appreciate an alternative perspective but a weird combo of rumors and scouting on this one. And I don't love all their scouting here. |

I’d be ecstatic with DeLauter. I also like the Thompson kid. He can take. And sign me up for Melton with 41!! Edit: meant to quote vermontsox, sorry. Also those picks would solve our OF depth. |

Interesting. I've always said that if Gardner was a Sox, every fan I know would have his jersey... |

I'm old enough to remember when Kumar Rocker's agent told us that Michael Conforto had a minor shoulder strain and was back to 100% and ready to sign a big contract. Then a few weeks later he had season ending surgery But Rocker's surgery was in September and he is back on the mound now, throwing heat and overpowering indy league hitters. Shoulder surgery is definitely the scariest one of all (okay, maybe third behind brain and open-heart) but he seems to have come out the other side. |

A lot of pitchers on these wish lists. The one trend that I think you can maybe think is real is that the top 6 bonus offers this admin has given out were to hitters. I think this is likely to continue. Chaim appears to value a pure hit tool above all others and I'm with him.
If you can truly hit, you'll find your way to the majors. Take a pure hitter in the first round who has a fielding tool and maybe some speed and you're looking at a very high floor guy who you coach up to maximize his ceiling.
The only other tool that would come close for me in a teenager/college junior would be pitch command but that's a lot less common and TNSTAAPP. Draft enough guys with pure hit tools and you can trade some of them later to get your pitchers.

The BBA print edition just came with a mock. They have nobody taking Rocker in the first 30 picks. That seems unlikely. They have the Jays taking Gilbert at 23 and the Red Sox getting Dylan Beavers at 24, but they signal this is a wild guess.

Just because he's given a 45 grade now does not mean he will 100 percent be an unplayable at catcher in the future. You would draft him with the mindset that he could grow into the position, and if he becomes even just a slightly below average catcher, his offensive potential really gives him the chance to be an impact player. Maybe something you would not do with a first round pick, but a second or third round pick makes more sense for that type of profile. |

I want Spencer Jones at 41. Wouldn't even be upset with him as an underslot in the 1st. He should be an NFL tight end, one of the fastest in the league.

As a UConn fan I’m all for Crawford but the idea of “generational makeup” sounds silly to me.
