19th Round - Nick Dean, RHP - Maryland
Couldn't find much about him other than he, like so many others in this draft, dealt with injuries. Supposedly has a really good changeup. Below average fastball.
12th Round - Carter Trice, 2B - NC State
I got nothing on him other than his stats. Transferred from Old Dominion. Strikes out a ton. Was pretty terrible on the Cape last summer in a week and a half worth of games. Hit for nice power at Old Dominion.
Wes Saver, i.e. Yagyu from the old PSD message board. I don't remember if he ever made the move to NSBB or not after getting banned over there. It turned into a dumpster fire.
But he's been doing this for years. It was an invaluable resource back in the days before bonus pool limits went into effect. We let Yags do the dirty work in stalking the twitter accounts of 18 year olds to see if they were going to sign or not. Dude was money.
As for the draft itself, I wonder how much Duce Robinson is needing to split his time between pro baseball and USC football. He's been linked to the Cubs in a couple places and is still sitting there.
It's very, very similar to the 2019 draft for me. McAvene = Wiggins. Hearn/Herz = Rosario/Melendez. Strumpf = Rivera. Sanders = Clarke/Schlaffer. Luckily Shaw is considerably better than Ryan Jensen in the 1st round.
He’s a prototype RF prepster. Huge power potential. Huge arm (clocked at 101 by PG). Good athleticism. Assuming he has swing and miss issues but have nothing concrete on that.
Wolkow would be fun to add, for sure. Will Gasparino would be my top choice, if they have enough money for him. Have to assume Cam Johnson is off to LSU.
Pretty sure he does. I haven’t seen lower than 55 put on his speed and multiple 60s.
Perfectly fine with Shaw there. I think he actually has more potential impact than he’s given credit for, but still is safe enough to let the Cubs swing for the fences later on.
