This is an unbelievably high-IQ play by Peyton Holt in CF to preserve Arkansas' lead. Fakes a catch which causes Donay to break for home then back to the bag. Has to re-tag up and then gets thrown out at the plate. Unreal.

CF Rodney Green Jr. ( @CalBaseball ) has one of the highest ceilings of any position player in this year's Draft class. Had an excellent sophomore season in which he hit .293/.388/.558 with 11 2B, 14 HR, and was 29-for-31 in stolen base attempts. Was an All-Pac-12 First Team

It’s time we talk about LHP Isaiah Coupet ( @OhioStateBASE ). Across 2 starts (13 IP) he’s allowed just 1 ER, has struck out 18, and has walked only 1. Starter at the next level, Coupet’s SL and CB are each plus pitches that get plenty of Sw/Miss. CH has improved greatly, too 📈

To everyone: IF it should be able to happen, the Cape League will be the most competitive and intense its arguably ever been. These athletes will be hungry and want nothing more than to get back on the diamond. I cannot wait for it to happen and for all these dudes to kick ass

The Detroit Tigers have selected 2B Kevin McGonigle. There’s an argument to be made that he’s the best pure hitter in the 2023 HS class. In complete control in the box and is an absolute barrel machine. Can drive the ball into either gap. Elite makeup.

The Seattle Mariners have selected RHP Teddy McGraw. Had some day 1 buzz coming into 2023, but spent the season rehabbing from TJS. Premium velocity on his FB (has flirted with triple digits). Low release height, lethal high-spin SL. Love this pick for SEA.

Unreal. 17 (!) Ks through 6 IP for Hagen Smith, as he backdoors this slider for a called 3rd strike. It’d be insanely impressive if he was doing this against any team, but Oregon State’s lineup is one of the best in the country. No words.
