2188 - First Year Player Draft (First Round) Jan 26, 2024

Show notes

The following players are discussed:
1. Wyatt Langford (OF, Tex) - He has 20-30 upside with high OBP skills, and it won’t take him long to make his Major League debut.
2. Dylan Crews (OF, Was) - He has an advanced approach at the plate with high-end exit velocities.
3. Paul Skenes (RHP, Pit) - He has the size and arsenal to be a #1 starter. Given how hard he throws, there is risk of early arm troubles, as seen with Hunter Greene.
4. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (RHP, LAD) - The stat line says he's a CY Young pitcher. His physicality gives me pause.
5. Walker Jenkins (OF, Min) - Athletic with a lefty swing built for 30+ home run future pop.
6. Max Clark (OF, Det) - Extremely athletic with plus speed and plenty of bat speed to project future power.
7. Matt Shaw (SS, CHC) - Plus power with a feel to hit and speed early in his career.
8. Colt Emerson (2B, Sea) - High-floor player who should hit with 15+ home run pop.
9. Kyle Teel (C, Bos) - He has a plus hit tool with average power.
10. Noble Meyer (RHP, Mia) - He has all the building blocks to pitch at the top of the rotation.
11. Rhett Lowder (RHP, Cin) - 70-grade change-up with a chance for at least a 60 slider. Plus, he throws strikes. If the Reds can get him to throw harder, he has the ceiling of a number two starter.
12. Hurston Waldrep (RHP, Atl) - He has a solid fastball-splitter combination, and with some tweaks to his delivery, he could develop into a top-of-the-rotation starter. His control is currently well below average.
13. Brayden Taylor (3B, TB) - High OBP skills with 20+ home run pop with solid speed.
14. Tommy Troy (3B, AZ) - A potential plus hit tool with above-average speed and power.
15. Enrique Bradfield (OF, Bal) - An 80-grade runner that, with some swing tweaks, could unlock power. The Orioles are a perfect landing spot for him.
16. Colin Houck (SS, NYM) - He has a feel to hit with speed and power.
17. Bryce Eldridge (1B, SF) - His carrying tool is his 70-grade raw power. However, at 6-foot-7, there are concerns about how much contact he will make.
