Sam Abbott, Curtis HS 6'4" 225 1B

 

Thanks, clearly Callis and Mayo were scrambling for some notes. Basically talked about water polo for 20 seconds.

Grabbed a 1b high schooler, who is a bigtime water polo player and committed to school for it.

 

6'5, big power, athlete. That's all i got, couldn't even pick out his name.

 

 

sounds like a wasted pick to me.

They have gotten a lot of very developed players, in the 8th round, going after a projectable player is not a waste. Maybe 2 of the 8th rounders will be a major leaguer for multiple years.

High school first baseman that nobody has ever heard of?

 

Bit of a head scratcher, and who knows if he signs? Seems like he's a swimming star and water polo player. Does not sound like a guy willing to sign for slot or less

What's the report on this guy? Interesting timing to go high schooler here consider the last few picks will likely be overslot.

 

My guess is because this guy doesn't have a strong college bball commit he may not be that expensive for a high schooler.

To be fair, neither swimming nor water polo are going to pay him a dime. He has the chance to make some money with baseball.

Hmmmm

 

Seems like a total hail mary of a selection so to speak, and that is if he signs

Flowers and TA are pretty good success stories.

I realize he left the sox org but Semien is another testament to defense being able to be corrected went from dumpster fire at SS to above average. Additionally with the amount of shifts currently being employed in major league baseball I think reactions, hands and arm are far more important than range.
