Average height of Sox Pitcher draftees: 6'4.25". All southern college boys. Might be seeing a pattern of type!

Balke Aita is ranked 496 by Perfect Game. I’m trusting in Craig at this point.

Balke Aita is ranked 496 by Perfect Game. I’m trusting in Craig at this point. I mean it’s the sixth round, getting a guy with traits is great at this point. In my mind I’m looking at round 11 as the last gasp for a bigger bonus guy.

Jared Jones still being on the board is surprising Draft eligible sophomore. Maybe going back to school?

Give me one high upside high schooler and I'm pretty content with this draft. I certainly had other arms that I prefer but I do appreciate that there seems to be a theme with the arms that they took, and they obviously have done a great job with what's already in the system so it's easy to dream on their developments. I also like Ehrhard quite a bit. Not as sexy as last year, but I think rounds 1-5 between the years are pretty comparable quality wise (if you take out the comp picks from last year and compare them 5 against 5, which is obviously semi-flawed). A little sexier last year with Zanatello, but I think this year's 1-5 is a little deeper in terms of high-end upside.

Yankees have taken all college pitchers so far 5/6 SEC pitchers as well, if I'm not mistaken. Sox have also gone all college, I wonder if there's just not a ton of faith in this HS class.

Doesn’t chase, doesn’t whiff. We’ll try to up the impact I’m sure I like the swing, looks explosive. He’s already 190 lbs at 5’11”, so hard to say if he has room to add more power. That is a very quick bat.

Aita seems like a Pivetta clone
Different from the other arms

MLB Pipeline write up: "Ranked No. 84 on MLB Pipeline's preseason Draft Top 100, Turner saw his stock tumble after he batted .218/.409/.421 with nine homers and 12 steals. He lowered his hands in an attempt to produce more power and messed up his left-handed swing, which scouts didn't love to being with. He's a solid runner with good instincts in center field, but there already were concerns about his power with wood bats and now there are questions about his hitting ability."

There's obviously way more to this than just one stat for one year, but has to have the lowest draft year batting average for any non-power conference draftee in a long time.
