Low 90's fastball with arm-side run that leads to uncomfortable at bats for left-handers. January 16, 2023. At worst, he is a utility player that is passive at the plate with disappointing bat speed. It does have some promise with above-average horizontal break and vertical approach numbers and it comes from a 3/4 arm slot from a dude standing 6'7". It doesnt help that the first overall pick in 2021 was a catcher and that almost half of the first round of the 2021 MLB draft were pitchers (and the Angels went full on hobby troll mode by having an entire draft of pitchers). A lot of my video looks at him were from the left side and he was pretty aggressive, especially with fastballs.

His hit tool is the most advanced of everything at the moment with very good exit velocity and strong control of the zone with great walk rates. Shane Panzini - RHP (Royals, 1st Base and Auto, 108/113) - Along with the Royals second and third-round picks, Shane Panzini was another overslot signer, this time in the fourth round with the Royals spreading around that seventh overall pick money around.

His main secondary is a 12-6 curveball that also gets its fair share of swing and misses and will be thrown in any count, but I've seen him lose the feel for it as he gets deeper into starts. For now, a backend rotation role is the most likely outcome, but physically their is potential for a solid mid-rotation arm. Chad Patrick - RHP (Diamondbacks, 1st Base only, 107, NR) - I'm going to be honest here - I knew nothing about Chad Patrick before the draft, and at this point, I haven't been able to fill that gap with much. P Paxton Brooks Over the past 4 seasons, Brooks has been a very accurate . I think I saw one changeup that missed completely. A top 50 guy at the Complex level in our RoboScout, I am putting him into the bottom of Tier 3 because of the strong floor and the upside to develop offensively as he grows into his body. Didn't see him throw the changeup much, but that is what will determine if he is just an up and down starter or simply org depth as a backend starter. His third pitch is an average changeup that does have some nice arm-side fade to it and will also get some whiffs.

He has all the look of a spot starter/middle relief bullpen arm with a ceiling of an SP5 which is why he is firmly in Tier None.

Plenty of pitchers, catchers, role players, hit tool only bats, defense-first players, etc. I like this profile a lot for the hobby and I'm going to go with my gut and put him at the bottom half of Tier 2 even though my head tells me he is more of a top of Tier 3 player with the lack of walks and strikeout tendency. That said, Watson has swing-and-miss concerns (42 K% in Low-A) and slipped in the draft due to make-up and signability concerns.

A short strider thats more geared towards contact than power but will put the ball over the fence on occasion. While he spins the fastball, it's not as effective as one would think, and his tall, lanky frame (6'5") has mechanical/delivery concerns. Normally this profile with the added catcher penalty would be a Tier None player, but given how many balls he put over the fence at FSU, I am going to slide him into the bottom half of Tier 3 and be ready to move him into Tier None if he can't repeat that.

Merrill had a growth spurt as a prep Senior that led to the increased punch with the bat and drew much more interest, landing him an underslot deal with the Padres at the end of the 1st round. It is the gold standard and what I am going to focus on as the main attraction. Low 90's fastball needs to add some velocity and a lot of command, but has some nice arm-side horizontal break.
