Draft Day is like Christmas in the summer. Great draft. Barretto won't take long to get to the Majors. That 63 pitching clutch will come in handy early on, too.
The pitching clutch is niiiice considering how low I've been seeing it with many other pitchers. He should have a short stint in the minors for sure, though you never know.
RIP missing out on Covey. Damn. Still, great generational pitcher. What a draft. Add a slider to your 1st pick and a 4 seam FB to Reyes. Also edit Hernandez to get a 100 mph fb!!! More fun!
Great consolation prize for missing out on a generational 1B/3B guy for sure. Im generally against changing things, but adding a slider to Barretto and Hernandez up to 99 fastball will probably happen.
Great draft! I was able to take a generational pitcher with the 8th pick the other day! He was ranked like 30-40th in the class. Barretto is gonna be a stud!
Definitely made the right call at 4 but I do really like Paul Taylor. Doesn’t have the power you’d like but 85 fielding at first is awesome, nothing will get by him. Don’t think he can play anywhere else sadly with how bad his arm is
Yeah he was the best chance at a good position player in this class with our picks past 4. In a Rockies Franchise I think it's particularly important to get power at 1b, but we could have tried to make it work at 2B or somewhere. I still like getting a big boost to pitching in this class though. Some could even be trade chips that will have good value for the next couple years.
Excellent video. I play manage mode exclusively and I play every inning. I would have passed on Barreto because his stamina was listed at 64-80 but it turned out to be 81 and with his potential at 99 he will probably remain 81 stamina and not decline like most pitchers do. I would have instead taken Dwayne Perry. Pitchers below 80 stamina in manage mode tend to wear out the bullpen. Turned out you made a great pick. How did Barreto end up with 81 stamina? Was it because his potential was so high?
Yeah so Barretto just beat his range by 1 for all his ratings. Rare that with a scout as good as we do, but I won't be complaining. With how he was ranked by our scouts, I had a good feeling he would end up on the high end of his ranges, but he beat them altogether. Perry was a good option for sure as well. Would have happily taken him at 4. Stamina in the 80s is always a mark I like to see for my SP, but 75 is kind of the minimum I go for.
@@azbdizzy4176 not a lot. They added two way players this year, which is fun. They also added a type of player that can start as 90+ overall. But both those are really rare and for the most part I think everything else is the same.
First was his excellent overall and potential spread. There was a 25 point gap between them, which combined with the fact he was ranked 2 by my scouts made me confident in A potential. Secondly, a very well rounded skill set made me confident he wouldn’t have any ratings in the 20s or 30s.
Sure but that wasn’t the only reason. I liked the gap in barrettos overall and potential more, which ended up being the right call. At least in my opinion.

18:45 YESSSSS AM SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS PICK CUZ WE HAVE NO LEFTIES
(BRO WE ARE SO LUCKY WE GOT BOTH PITCHERS)
Yeah we need some leftie help for sure.
Another sick class brother! Killing it
Thanks!!
I knew it was gonna be a good one!! Bravo sir👏👏👏
Thanks! I was not as confident in this one.
@fiendfranchise I could see, you were at least going to get a bunch of good arms. Generational arm surprised everyone though!😂🤣😂🤣
@@tonylasher4302 For real him having 99 potential wasn't even on my radar. Hard to blame me though when it wasn't even part of his range.

Nice! I’m excited to get him

@@fiendfranchise Interesting. Do you see any differences between mlbts23 and 24 regarding scouting/quality of players/draft?
@@azbdizzy4176 not a lot. They added two way players this year, which is fun. They also added a type of player that can start as 90+ overall. But both those are really rare and for the most part I think everything else is the same.
@@fiendfranchise Thanks. I skipped the 24 edition because I didn't want to start over with my franchise.
Dude you draft pitchers like crazy.. what stood out to you on your #1?

I think not getting Perry bc his 4FB is only 92 is a mistake, ya mix up your speeds and you can sent batter back to the bench regularly disappointed
Sure but that wasn’t the only reason. I liked the gap in barrettos overall and potential more, which ended up being the right call. At least in my opinion.
@@fiendfranchise Fait enough man sometimes ya like one thing over another I love what ya got going here!
Jason Lindsay will be a mediocre hitter. His power is too low.
Could be, but he's got a good shot to get on base a lot. I would have been happy with him at 4, though we got the better player.
