I like to rate a farm system by the number of rookies they place in the top 5 of each year's ROTYs voting. To me, if they don't make this list, then they are either just a prospect with promise or an average or below average major leaguer. Developing big leaguers are the whole purpose of a farm system...not drafting top picks or minor league performance, which many rely on as a rating system. Yes, I know this is not perfect either, but proof is in the pudding. There is only one farm system the continually lands a top 5 rookie over the last decade and that is the Astros. 2025 - ??? Colton Gordon <<--- My pick for a run in this season. 2024 - ??? Joey Loperfido <<--- My pick for a run in this season. 2023 - 5th Yainer Diaz <<--- Yainer would have won or 2nd in the AL ROTY if Dusty gave him 500+ ABs (he only got 355 ABs). 2022 - 5th Jeremy Peña <<--- Was MVP of the ALCS & WS as a rookie. 2021 - 2nd Luis Garcia 2020 - 3rd Cristian Javier 2019 - 1st Yordan Álvarez 2018 - (None) <<--- Framber Valdez did not have enough IP to qualify for the ROTY... he was 4-1 2.19 era .175 baa 1.24 whip in 37 IP 2017 - 4th Yuli Gurriel 2016 - 4th Chris Devenski 2015 - 1st Carlos Correa 2014 - 4th Collin McHugh There is no other farm system with a 9 of 10 production record in the modern era of MLB history (that I know of). Notice: this list does not include 4 current home-grown starters. Altuve(MVP), Bregman, Tucker & McCullers. Oh don't forget Springer (WS MVP) & Keuchel (Cy Young), plus all the minor league talent they traded away to get top quality pitching & a catcher...Pressly, Verlander(twice), Cole, Greinke, Graveman(twice), even Yainer Diaz in 2017 and more.
Luis Vazquez has mlb ready defense, maybe even gold glove defense. If he could hit he would be a top 15-20 prospect. Forgot about him in this video but he’ll be in the show replacing Madrigal
As a Rockies fan I really hope we get Jac, we can see what his pitches are like and I would love for him to play 1b because Montero, Toglia, and Kris Bryant aren't it, hopefully if we get him we don't screw over him as a pitcher playing at coors or a good player on a bad team wasting his carrer
It seems weird that jack Leiter hadn't received some direction on pitching instead of just throwing. To change up his look to his wind up and mess with hitters timing. Improve his pitch sequencing. The little I've seen from leiter is just getting the ball and throwing, no deception, no moving the ball in and out, up and down. He's just got to learn to pitch which is different than just choosing a pitch and throwing. There's a rhythm, timing, sequencing a high fast ball with a change up at the knees. I wonder how muc. The pitch clock has turned pitching into throwing?
I'd like someone who could explain why a player is good without using stats as their arguement. What do they do well? Do they throw well or have good speed? Do they hustle and have good mental make up? Are they consistent at the plate, do they walk a lot or are prone to swing at pitches out of the strike zone, don't hit the curveball well? You did a good job of mixing both
thanks for the input. i usually try to go more in depth on players but i tried to cover 2-4 players on every teamand i didn’t want the video to be 2 hours long so this one was a little more abridged
I’ve been waiting for Jacob Wilson to get called up. Got put on the 7 day for a knee thing. Hits for average but has some pop for a SS/2B. I haven’t seen a scout grade of 70 for hitting in a long while.
15 is crazy low for the Mariners imo, they have 10 dudes with legit top 100 potential, and already have 6 guys in Baseball Americas Top 100, which is second in the league. Sure the pitching isn't great, but Logan Evans and Jeter Martinez are two great pitching prospects. Beyond that, Harry Ford, Cole Young, Tyler Locklear, Colt Emerson, Jonny Farmelo, Tai Peete, Aidan Smith, Lazaro Montes, and Felnin Celesten are guys who either already are or very well could be Top 100 prospects by seasons end, and pretty much all of those guys except for Locklear and Ford are 20 or younger. They're a top 10 system at worst, probably better.
I think the only knock is the organizational gap at the top of the system (MLB ready talent), though Ford, Young, and Locklear are going to close that gap fast. I also think they are sleeping on a lot of pitching that has performed well thus far in the minors and they look to be taking an aggressive approach with. We will be a top-10 system again within the next 6 months, and pushing top-5 within a year (barring trades).
@@snerdterguson Nah not true one is AL and one is NL gun to head Im a yankees fan but theres a lot of reasons sentimental included that I like the braves even before Acuna, Albies, Freeman era
SEC has about 20-30 guys that could have a future in the MLB. They’re loaded. Sprinkle in the other conferences I’d be going college heavy in this years draft. In my opinion Konnor Griffin is a better pitcher than player. Chase Burns will go top 5. Honeycutt strikes out too much and has gotten worse. Chinji will go higher than 26 he could turn into an ace. Love the video thanks for making it!
I think you only had 2 high school players going in the first 20 picks. I don’t see that many college players going that high. Teams like high school players because they are cheaper.
Konnor griffins swing is so unnatural and visibly been tweaked by hitting coaches and new age hitting principles. It was painful to see him swing that way
Signability issues being equal, I would rather have Bazanna as the first pick for the Guardians. You should not pass on the power/speed combo. He will work in the outfield.
2:35 there is absolutely no chance Shota is better than Yamamoto. That guy was giving up nearly 20 home runs a year in Japan. That translates to between 40-50 in the MLB. Stuff wise Yamamoto has the best stuff since Pedro. There is a reason why every big market team was begging him to take 300 million from them
@@AndItsGone wrong, that might be true with hitters but not pitchers. Stuff is stuff. Outside of injury there is literally no chance. There is a reason why one guy got 50 million and another 325 million.
