Lots of pushback comments on this, but not one offers their own rationale. I’m all for hearing your opinions, but remember, it’s always going to bring more value to the table by offering a well thought opinion. Don’t clown on something or criticize before thinking it through 🫵❤️
Hagan at #12 for your Red Sox had me laughing. Good stuff!!!
I saw this exact comment when some people had Kyle Teel falling out of the top 10 last year
Can't see him getting past St. Louis at #7. Just seems like a perfect fit.
Yeah I guess stranger things have happened. The TJ could scare some teams away with the current status of arm injuries. Hope you get him Rob!
@@rhyde wah wah wah red sox suck
Tigers have to go college bat or best highschool position player available preferably infield
If the tigers take a highschool pitcher I won't be a fan anymore
not gonna lie, every single first round arm from college has major bust potential. Let a high school arm develop
If the tigers take Cam, I’ll be bummed out for him. Also, shoutout to the Motherland, Scottsdale.
on ones tape stands out that much in terms of pitching, id be fine w it. would prefer an infield batter tho
Look at their system. They're best pitching prospects are 2-pitch pitchers that will ultimately end up in thr bullpen. Guys like Melton, Flores, Madden, Jobe, and Hurter all start but none of them have a quality 3rd pitch. Cam Caminiti is only in HS but already has 3 above average pitches with an athletic profile. He's a starting pitcher from day 1 and considering how thin the Tigers are in Frontline starters, he could be a fast mover and possibly be in the Majors by the time he's 20 or 21 years old. And the Tigers are better at developing pitchers than hitters.
I'm still believing Cleveland takes Bazzana at 1 because he could move quickly through the minors. Move Gimenez to Short or trade him
This is what I believe as well
No. Taking a 2B with the first pick with Condon and Caglianone available would be a travesty.
They could also move Bazzana to CF, which we've seen them comfortable doing with Freeman. He has the athleticism to stick out there and it would justify them using a first overall pick on him.
I was wondering if you were going to go with the guy suggested in Cijntje in your last mock draft. Really pulling for the Yanks to make that move, and already ready for the disappointment for when they don’t. 😂
10:40 - and what a name for the Mets
I was at the Florida State vs Tennessee game when Christian Moore hit for the cycle
What a game that was
Dodgers need to go with a HS shortstop or HS outfielder. They have enough pitching and always find pitching gems in the later round. 23rd pick is really high to what they normally have. So it would be wise to swing for the fences on a HS position player.
I disagree for some reason our pitchers always get injured so I think he should get a pitcher that won’t get injured
I also don’t see why we should get a shortstop if we have Betts til 2030
@@Baseballifybetts should not play shortstop
@@BaseballifyThey always find pitchers in the later rounds. Gavin Stone was the second to last pick of the draft. Position players particularly at shortstop and outfield is a need in the dodgers system. They have a young crop of international position players coming but it would be wise to swing for the fences and see if you can add to it. Gunnar, James Wood, Merrill were all taken late to second round out of HS. I like Joendry Vargas/Albertus but right now it’s up in the air who will be the long term SS. Same with outfield. Swing for the fences with HS player see if you can find the next Gunnar. Avoid college bats because last time they went with college bats they took Hoese and Busch over Gunnar Henderson!! Betts is not a SS too.
You were right
Braves are absolutely loaded right now with AJSS, Waldrep, Schwellenbach, Ritchie, Murphy, Kuehler and then even younger players like Lara, Vargas, Braun so it would be nice to get some bats but I just don’t know any good hitters to go after at the 24 spot
I’d like to see what bats could fall to them
I agree the cardinals will take Kurtz if he is available, but I’m praying they draft Hagen Smith
I know the M's should probably take a pitcher in the 1st round given how pretty much all their top propsects are position players (and especially Yesavage if he drops to them), but I will be devestated if Cam Smith drops to the M's and they pass on him. Definitely the guy I'm hoping they're able to get. Great analysis as always!
Would be great for them to grab a bat like him! I could definitely go that route in the 3.0 Mock.
Thank you my friend 🫡
I hope the Mets can draft someone better than King. Your video is very good analysis of the players. Also, Caglione does not seem like type for Clevsland plus Condon is a better hitter who can play 3B, unlike Caglione who has monster power but is limitec to 1B.
Guardians are notoriously cheap in FA but have never cheaped out in the draft or in arbitration. Plus this is their first #1 overall pick ever so I think they are going to go all out and take the best projected player. I’m personally hoping for Travis Bananzza. Same college as Steven Kwan too so thats an extra plus lol
They’ve literally gone underslot on their last 3 picks. Why do I keep seeing Guardians fans saying that? I don’t see where that misconception is coming from.
I’m not saying going underslot is cheaping out, but they definitely haven’t gone full slot in the first round for a bit now.
Bazzana would be awesome though. Either way, they’ll make a good move. It’s way too top heavy to really go wrong.
@@rhyde I just think that since it’s their first time with the #1 pick they’ll just straight up go for it this go around but we’ll see! I didn’t know they went under slot the last 3 picks tbh.
@@rhydegoing underslot and not spending all the draft budget allotted to your team based in draft pick are different things.
I do think you’re making a good case that the guardians will consider going underslot and I like that you’re not just copying everyone else with Bazzana and Wetherholdt.
But, I think picking a 1B with the 1st pick is not what the guardians do, I can see Bazzana, Wetherholdt, and Condon prioritized before Cags by the Guardians, but we shall see!
Pipeline mock today seems to think Bazz will go underslot at around $8.5M, which would essentially be around the number CLE has to be hoping for. If that is true, Bazz is the number 1 pick and CLE will have money to spend at 36/48. Would be pretty shocked if it isn't Bazz or JJW
I don’t fully buy that just yet. Lots of things can happen with those top 4 picks as negotiations play out.
The Royals need a reliable 2b like no tomorrow. Worth a shot
It feels like a good fit, but I wonder if he actually goes earlier than this. I could see the White Sox jumping on him.
The difference for Caglianone is that he has a high chase rate against college pitching, not major league. He's gonna be amazing if he can cut that down, but its a risky pick
For sure, but perhaps that actually comes down in MLB because he feels like he can hit everything in college 😂
Bruh this comment is wildly inaccurate. Caglianone walks twice as much as he strikes out and he only struck out 26 times this season which is 10% of his ABs
@gabe_davis chase rate will get exposed as you face stronger competition. That's why guys like Oscar Gonzalez and Franmil Reyes struggled in MLB. College stats are not indicative of future success
@@GK46958 Hagen Smith couldn't K Cags, and there's few pitchers in pro ball with better stuff from the left side.
@@GK46958 bruh you’re just hating. Cags is easily the most talented player in the draft and has already lowered his chase rate significantly from last season. You don’t make sense
If there was a ambidextrous pitcher that was very good maybe it would be possible for that pitcher to throw 300 innings
Caglianone and condon are said to have the highest asking prices. Guards are believed to be able to sign Bazzanna for 9.5 mil
It’s Bazanna and Condon that are believed to have the highest asking prices
@@rhydeCaglianone’s a perfect fit
I feel like Montgomery to my Nats just doesn’t make sense, he plays a position where we have a log jam at. I’d love for them to get Moore to fill in our lack of middle infield depth in the farm
Log jam?
@@rhyde you have wood and crews already filling up 2 of the spots in the outfield leaving one last outfield spot which Montgomery could fill in for, but when it comes to the middle infield, outside of Abrams and Garcia, I’m not confident in anyone to fill in for them and match those twos production if there is a long term injury for either
Konnor Griffin is a stud, I hope my Sox can get him.
Love it.. Cags to the Guardians 1st Overall is my dream scenario for what we need! We have a lot of up the middle infielders and outfielders.. Let's take arguably the best Power Hitter in the Draft & watch our Lineup transform #ForTheLand 💯⚾🪽⚾🪽🗿🪽🗿🪽🔥🔥
Thank you sir! So many middle IF, and if they still wanted one they could take either Culpepper or O’Ferrall at 36. Caglianone makes a lot of sense to me, but I could still see Bazzana or perhaps Burns at #1 also.
Amen!
This is where the lottery being fixed really screwed the Royals.
as a royals fan i’m pissed could’ve had cags or burnes. worst part is somehow the guardians got the first pick
Overall a good mock, but I'll be pretty surprised if Smith slips past Washington. Cam Smith might be the most underrated player in this draft. His defensive value is going to be higher than most of these first rounders.
Thanks! I think he’ll end up in the mid T10, but the way I was thinking this time around had him dropping based off other factors, not Smith personally.
Guardians have the #1 pick, plus a great stable.
Why would the orioles take a high school short stop we have Gunnar and Holliday for a while even if the orioles didn’t resign Gunnar holiday would step in his place bro would be in our farm system forever and clogging up roster spots for another position of use
Why did the Red Sox two shortstops in back to back years after drafting Mayer at #4?
Go read up on why organizations draft SS a lot and come back.
My top choice would be Travis Bazzana. However, I could also see the Guardians going with Caglionone or Condon.
You really can’t go wrong imo. Bazzana would be so good. I think it’ll come down to money.
Jac or condon best hitter in draft?
Where is Aaron Combs
I pray Boston takes a pitcher.
1 for 30 correct picks isn't bad right?
Hey hey hey…I got 2 right 🫵
I have a hard time seeing Hagen Smith falling past STL or LAA. As much as I hope he falls to the Red Sox his stuff seems way too good to not be top 10. I personally have him going somewhere around 6-8 but it would be Sox luck if he fell to them. Being a Red Sox fan I like the fit of Christian Moore. Right handed power bat who seems to thrive when he’s in big situations although I could see his CWS performance getting him into the top 10. At the end of the day nobody will be right it’s just fun to mock and see potential fits
I think he’ll end up either with CHW, KCR, or STL after sleeping on it. Moore would be great, and it’s possible they save some money with him. I think in the end there’s a good chance he goes T10. If not him, then I could see someone with high upside like Honeycutt or maybe Caminiti if he gets there.
Based on what the draft experts have said St. Louis would take yesavage, smith, Montgomery, and Rainer before Kurtz
Go look at expert mock drafts from the last 5 years, see how they turned out, and come back. I like Kurtz, and I think the Cards should take him if he’s there. It’s my opinion.
@@rhyde I completely understand mock drafts are just what would happen in that particular scenario. It’s more of a profile and value fit that i don’t see them taking Kurtz outside of last season in the first round it’s either fast moving college arm or big power prep bat. If we fit their typical profiles that would lend you to burns, smith, and Rainer. They are a heavily value based org and I don’t see them justifying taking a first baseman in the top 10. For more context they haven’t taken a first baseman within the first 10 rounds of the draft since 2019.
I dont really want my jays to draft a catcher in the first round, we desperately need someone with superstar potential with the bat in our system with bonilla being the only guy I can see with superstar potential in our system currently, im hoping honeycutt or Jordan can fall to us
I had Honeycutt in my first mock. I love the upside potential of him.
Hope you are right about Pittsburgh taking Rainer, but my money is on them going underslot with James Tibbs. I like Tibbs too, but would prefer Rainer.
I could see this!
Orioles are taking a pitcher. They don’t have a lot of pitching prospects.
I would really love to see Kurtz fall to the Pirates but just isn’t going to happen.
Christian Moore for angels let’s go
Pirates further jamming their infield is stupid. OF is a DIRE need for Pittsburgh. We still have Termarr Johnson in the minors, not to mention Cruz is young. Gonzalez has been spectacular this year and is also young. Unless we trade Hayes and his pool noodle bat. Taking an IF is dumb
You do realize Rainer is a high school player right, and probably wouldn’t be ready for 4-5 years? Also, go look up why teams look towards drafting shortstops and come back.
@@rhyde what I should have said Was. We’re only getting Skenes for 5 years. We need of bats now. Our window is open
No way LH pitcher Smith is available @ 12
I’ve updated this now. I have him going 6 to KCR.
Bro we have a completed infield where would he even fit Massey is playing like an all star
Anything could happen. I like Massey but I think he just drafting a lead off batter for the royals. We’ve been looking for a guy who can end a season with a .360 to .390 OBP. Maikel would be a great leadoff if he looked at more pitches and wasn’t so streaky.
Massey has played other positions
@@rhyde I didn’t even know that. I love the pick though. Royals need that lead off bat. But Massey did when a gold glove in the minor leagues at 2nd base and has already flashed the leather in the majors. I’m sure they could make it work though.
@@D.J.Mac_KCI think I’ll end up having JJ go higher in the next one tbhb
Not a chance in hell Hagen Smith falls that far but I hope he does
I think there is a path, but most likely he comes off the board by the middle of the top 10. Someone is going to have to fall out of the T10. My guess it’s either him, or possibly Konnor Griffin.
Firmly believe that the Guards will take Bazzana at the top spot.
Ummm so who is going at 22. There wasn’t a 22 pick in the vid.
Edit: Nvm just put 24 twice
Sorry about that, just realized. Thanks for pointing it out!
You can’t be serious that going a bat makes sense for the cardinals? LOL
Have you looked at the farm system? Almost all of their most exciting prospects are arms
Man doesn't know how good Nick Kurtz is I guess
@@rhyde he’s not worth it
Why would this be a bad thing lol
There is 0 fucking sceainro where a 1st basemen in round 1 is ever a fucking good pick
if the giants draft Honeycutt over James Tibbs or Cam smith I will end it all
😂😂😂 they drafted him a few years ago. Honeycutt could be awesome if he gets the chase/swing and miss issues ironed out
@@rhyde he totally could be a stud but I think tibbs and smith have slightly lower ceilings with way higher floors so I would much prefer them
@@zephyrmanialove me some Tibbs. Cam could be great too. Think he needs to be with the right organization.
Detroit doesn't need pitching!
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Theres no way Brody falls that far...LAD is the farthest i can see him dropping. As soon as a real lab gets ahold of him. That athletism, that body, that arm, from Iowa? Teams would be dumb AF letting him get that far
I have seen mocks with him going 2nd round, so I figured I’d go near the back of the 1st round
@@rhyde yeah the last couple of weeks hes been n a free fall...no idea why considering hes Jeff Samardziga that throws 100+. Any lab get ahold of him... God help that division
Cards take Hagen Smith
I agree if he's available I think they take him
I’d love that for them, and it could definitely happen.
100% they want swing and miss and haven’t developed legit pitching in awhile his 17.4 k per 9 is just way to much to pass up on… Hence Roby Libby Quinn Mathews Hagen Smith… all could be a very legit rotation in 2026
@@boschlosser10would be nasty. Definitely hear that on them looking for swing and miss. Perhaps my love for Kurtz bat got in the way 😂
I have Travis at #1 since he has the best combination of tools and mechanical refinement. I think Caglionone is going to immediately struggle in the minors for a while. Travis seems like the most complete player in the draft. Good list 👍
I agree with this and this guy apparently doesn't know Cleveland because in general they usually pick safer rather than high upside but i could be wrong because they never pick this high. Also I think they'll take the best player and I think that is bazzana.
@@edwintroyer7106their last two picks definitely leaned more upside, as they chose guys with raw power
I absolutely have to agree with you on Caglianone to the Guardians at #1
Hagen won’t drop that low…
Probably not, but saw similar comments about Teel last year.
20-30 hrs from wetherholl lol stop the con 😂
I hope to the Lord the Nationals do not take Montgomery
