At this point I'm assuming all of the top 250 high schoolers and college sophomores are either going back to school or out of our bonus range, so all I'll ask for is either Hunter Hines or Jeremiah Jenkins. Give me a 1B!!!

Do college catchers call games or do they learn how to do that in pro ball?

Guardians take a big swing in the 10th.

At 297, the Red Sox select Devin Futrell, LHP, Vanderbilt.

No seniors in the first 10 rounds. Change of strategy!

Give me a 1B!!! Well, no. Some of these kids are going to be day 3 picks that teams have been saving up money to go overslot with. But yes, many will also get drafted and go unsigned.

Sounds like stuff is light, but a good strike thrower. Maybe someone they can get in the lab.

Hence the "out of our bonus range", as I'd imagine the Sox don't have the remaining money to afford any more of them.

Is it something that is hard to learn or is it just basically following the scouting report? To call a game? Yes, there is def some nuance too it, but a big part of the reason is the coaches can spend a lot more time on the data and scouting reports than the Cs can bc they are students. Some of the upper classman prob provide some input in game for sure, but the pitch-comm makes its easy to have the coaches call it

Looks pretty clear that they have a type they're targeting for college hitters in the mid rounds. Campbell, Meidroth and Reimer also fit that profile - one home run pick and one solid double.

Every pick the Red Sox have made so far has been ranked on at least two of the major eval boards and everyone besides Aita inside the BA Top 500. No off the board picks and no senior signs.

Other teams to take one or fewer HS players: - Orioles - Yankees (0) - Rockies (0) - Astros (0) - Royals - Angels - Twins - Mets - Nationals - Blue Jays - Rangers - Cardinals (0) - Mariners - Giants (0)
That doesn't feel normal.

5 Pitches, 4 position players, one 2 Way. Since rosters are 50% pitchers, seems like great balance.

Guardians had a pretty sick draft if they can sign all these guys. They're in a nice spot as an org right now, arguably top 5 team in MLB and lucked into a number one overall pick, albeit in a weaker year

NIL has made taking HS players, especially "tough" signs much more risky on day two. If you are picking a HS kid today, you better have a deal in place, otherwise just pick a college kid you feel good about that will sign.

Keith Law said it was a very bad year for high school players in the draft. Evidently the teams agreed

Pretty hard to be displeased with the results of the first ten rounds. Doesn't guarantee any of them will be any good, of course. But a nice blend of upside and floor, and what seems to be along a pretty consistent plan for the pitching dev team to execute. I was pretty content after the first five rounds, but the Cason pick has left me feeling great. Like I said earlier, getting another big first base type bat (not because the Red Sox need it exactly, but because I think the lower levels of the system do) and some more pitchers with traits would be an awesome way to end day three. I just hope there's a chance they've left themselves $200,000 or so for one more overslot guy tomorrow.
