Hitting you right out of the gate with a big ol' spreadsheet. Nothing too crazy in today's article. Just a review of the 2014 draftees and some highlights. I'll let you peruse the list yourself and point out any observations or comments you've got.
- Brandon Finnegan has been excellent. I wasn't super high on him and placed him 30th overall on my Top-50 pre-draft board, but he's been worthy of the top-10 consideration he got pre-injury. A decent bet to see major league action this year from the bullpen. My guess is he won't be there long term. He's received some left-handed Marcus Stroman comps...which is nice.
- Chase Vallot has hit 7 home runs as a 17 year old while being 3 years younger than the average competition. The big slugger has shown his rawness in the contact department and chasing pitches, but has an 11.5% BB%.
- Ryan O'Hearn has been crushing the Pioneer League since his debut. The bat always had some good power and he showed excellent strike zone skills at Sam Houston. Is on his way to becoming a guy and is currently on the watch list. Will get some top 20 love from me in the offseason I'd bet.
- Corey Toups has walked 6 more times than he's struck out as well as hit for strong power. Sam Houston teammates with Ryan O'Hearn. Like O'Hearn, Toups is a guy to watch. He's played SS for Idaho Falls so far, but a move to 2B is likely on the horizon.
- Timothy Hill has struck out a batter in every appearance except for two games including 6 outings of 2 or more strikeouts and a 2 inning outing where he struck out 5 batters.
- Cole Way has been profiled by FanGraphs but in case you missed it, he's a tall reliever and might be the tallest player in all of baseball. Rather than playing baseball in college, he was the punter for the football team. He then picked up a baseball for the first time in years after being drafted. That might be an exaggeration, but he certainly didn't focus on baseball.
