Only pitched 6.2 innings this year, so a likely injury, he was considered the 10th best Patriot League prospect before the season, so looks like he had a big pop up. that's some real good extension numbers above Only report I've seen, and seems to be outdated, from the winter: "The 6-foot-3 Bouchard is a junior righthander who sits in the low-90s and he added a cutter this fall"

Tygart has the best breaking ball I've ever seen at the collegiate level. He absolutely cannot command his fastball, which really hurt his overall numbers. Has been injured on and off the last few years. Was filthy as a reliever. The feel he has with both his slider and curve is absolutely elite and will make him a quick mover. Has to learn fastball command. But there is a lot to work with This comment led me to Youtube. The breaking ball does indeed look great.

Sorry we passed on the big first baseman from Maine. He was, I believe, the last college Jr. remaining from MLB’s rankings. Hunter Hines, Vastine, Boeser, & Travis Smith

With 11 pitchers taken out of 1st 15 picks. Anyone think they need to draft more SS/2b now?

I get the feeling these velocity readings are a bit like looking at 40 times for HS football prospects. (Take with a huge grain of salt.)

If you use the extremely elementary measure of "how many of these draftees were ranked by the leading evaluators?" -- the Sox appear to be acquiring a much deeper pool of talent in '24 than '23.
In 2023, 8 of 20 picks were ranked by at least 1 of MLB/PG/BA.
Thus far, 11 of 15 meet that same threshold, and generally rank higher as well.
Not a foolproof measure in any sense, but relative to mainstream consensus, it is presumably something to be pleased about.

Wow, I get my Portland Pilot afterall!
He got hurt in March, was their #2 last yr before Stuhr emerged. Low to mid 90s, another strike thrower, some helium here given what Portland has produced this year.

Braves took a NH High Schooler, Owen Carey, he's hitting well with the wood in the Future's league this summer. Rutgers commit.

10 minute break before round 16. Gotta think they take some position players and HS fliers in rounds 16-20.

Definitely a guy who will be pitching backwards (offspeed will setup fastball).
