What happened to Michael Mullinax? He's top 110 on Perfect Game, great tools set, switch hitter.... but he's nowhere to be seen? Did he take his name out of the draft?

I haven't seen that officially announced, but he's likely to have a high number and would require a high number today. He's 99% headed to the Georgia.

Micah Ashman went the pick before the Red Sox. I am choosing to believe he was their pick

Prospects Live: STEVEN BROOKS, RHP, CAL POLY Brooks is a control and finesse based pitcher with a legitimate 5 pitch arsenal, all of which could be useful offerings, despite topping out at 93.

Steve Brooks: 82.1 ip. 72ks, 15 walks. 5.14 era.
2023: “71 innings with a 5.58 ERA... had 61 strikeouts and 22 walks... a season high of seven strikeouts twice...”

Feels like an interesting pick in round 11. Always nice when pitchers don't walk guys, maybe the organization pitching gurus can untap some additional stuff.

Limited scouting report from D1 baseball:
"Baum and Brooks threw 62.2 and 70.1 innings respectively last season and are both in the 90-93mph range and feature three pitches for strikes."
They had him as 1 of the top 30 prospects in the Bgg West (most of the top 30 has been drafted) prior to the season.
Basically a 40% GB rate in his career, walk rate is good, only 23 in 82 IP, but he did hit 19 batters, I'm guessing there is a lot of movement.

Also of note, Brooks played with Nick's older brother and the Big Rig, Joe Yorke at Cal Poly

Org guys have legitimate value that's only increased with baseball's short-sighted decisions about the scope of the minor leagues, so I'm glad that MiLB players are being treated at least a little better than they used to be.

If this draft is as weak as they say, maybe they're taking advantage of the opportunity to strategically draft some really good org guys.

At 357, the Red Sox select Brady Tygart, RHP, Arkansas. He’s 6’1 which much to my chagrin is now considered short in these parts

Wow, Tygart was prob the top name for today, and I thought he'd be gone pretty quick. Didn't think he was a fit because he's only 6'2, but tremendous value for a universal top 200 pick. Some real parallels to last year's 12th rounder Max Carlson here.

Quote from Tygart's Pitching Coach from the D1's Arkansas fall report:
“Transitioning into that starter role last year at the end of the season really set him up,” Hobbs said. “You know who he reminds me of? Coach Van Horn was watching this kid pitch and said it’s like Zac Gallen — it’s four pitches, can throw them all for strikes. Gallen’s curveball is harder, but Brady’s slider can replace that a little bit. Brady’s changeup’s really good. Brady’s average fastball velo is .4 mph lower than Gallen — Brady averages 93. But they’ll both pitch with other stuff, both about 47 or 48 percent heater. Both righthanded, both deep deep arsenals. Gallen was a better strike-thrower in college than Brady. I think if Brady is willing to pitch 92-96, which is a wide range of fastball velocity but go down when you can go down and go up when you have to, but if he’s willing to mix, his strength is his arsenal. The curveball is way above-average, but he’s got four average to above-average pitches in college.”
