Wooo that’s a violent swing. Seems like the same kind of build as Wong.

That would be a really bad scenario. I think his comp is Kyle Teel

Harold Reynolds likes him, so that’s all we need to know.

will he stay as a catcher....for those who know these things ? From FG write up: "He is very active behind the plate, moving almost constantly as he descends into his deep one-knee crouch. He has an atypical throwing stroke as well, almost like a sidearm pitcher's delivery. But Teel's caught stealing rates are strong and his pop times hover around 1.90, so even though it looks weird back there, Teel is very likely to stick as a catcher."

Didn’t even list him on my board today because didn’t think he’d possibly fall - stoked about this, came away very impressed when I saw him live at the Charlottesville regional. Not sure the power will ever be plus but he’ll barrel everything.
My main hope for the draft was that they’d take one or two guys I’d seen in person, but their first round pick being a guy I’ve actually met was a pretty good start!
Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Keaschall in the second to try to recoup some extra slot money.

Things broke our way! Now if he signs for underslot, that's even better!

Praying Nimmala doesn’t make it to Tampa. If the rumors of a real high ask are correct, he might end up making it to campus at FSU.

Wow my username has new relevancy.
Teel is awesome. I mean I'm extremely biased but he can be a great defensive catcher and has a natural ability to hit.
The swing may need tweaking, although this year he was a monster, so maybe the latest version is good. But he's got the individual tools you want.
I can't remember the last time Boston picked a guy from UVA I am stoked right now.

Where does he slot? Top 5? 7?

#50 should be interesting now. Do they pick the best available college player for slot value or try to go underslot to line up the next four selections in round 3 and 4.

Not knowing anything about these guys… I am excited for a big catching prospect. They are rare jewels and make a huge difference.

Wow, they drafted a catcher who can hit and stay behind the plate. Gotta like it. They've been very thin in catching in the organization for a long time.
I like Hickey's bat but doubt he'll stick behind the plate. So now I think they have 3 interesting catcher possibilities in Brooks Brannon, Jonafran Garcia, and now Kyle Teel, who'd I think would be the highest rated of the three easily enough.

I assumed Sox would go underslot based on the various things I'd seen on Twitter and in mock drafts, but it seems like if a guy like Teel falls to you, you have to take him. Love it.

I feel like this makes the Luke Keaschall pick at 50 more likely.

Where does he slot? Top 5? 7? #4 behind Mayer, Roman General and Blaze fcking Jordan.

Can't ever argue with taking a consensus Top 8 prospect that falls to you at #14. Think Jason Groome and going back a little before that, to another C which slid to Boston in 3rd rd of 2013? Jon Denny. Not a fan of using a very high pick on any catcher. Hopefully this works out.
