Dam8610 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Rutschman as a Sophomore is looking a lot like Buster Posey as a Sophomore.

Expand One of the other catchers on the roster is freshman Patrick Bailey.

Rutschman's 2018 compares well to Posey's 2007. Obviously if the White Sox draft him, I'll want him to be the next Posey, but I'm not even suggesting that as his upside at this point.

GenericUserName Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Mo Bamba 12:19 Can you compare and contrast the top catcher this year in Joey Bart and next year in Shea Langeliers and Adley Rutschman. Who has the higher ceiling and who is the better player right now? Kiley McDaniel 12:20 Haven't seen Langeliers but I will in a few weeks and I'm told it's 50 hit/power with 55 defense, 60 arm. Bart is 45 hit/55-60 power, 55-60 defense, 65 arm. Rustchman is 45-50 hit/55-60 power, more 50 defense, 55-60 arm. All slightly different, Bart is probably the best of them but it isn't a huge difference the 2019 kids can't make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The USA Baseball Tournament of Stars starts tomorrow. It looks like all the top talent is participating including three guys from the Chicagoland area in RHP Quinn Priester from Cary, C Matt McCormick from Orland Park, and RHP Michael Doolin from Schererville. I saw that McCormick was named to a few all american teams and was the Gatorade state player of the year over Alek Thomas, so he might be one to watch. Here is the roster if anyone wants to look through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Quote 12:49 Vander: Is Bobby Witt Jr. the clear front runner to go 1st overall right now? If so, is there much of a gap between him and whoever would be 2nd? 12:50 Kiley McDaniel: I’ll probably write something longer about this soon, but no. The 2019 prep class looks down a lot from 2018 and sounds like 2020 is also much better. Witt has the same tools but swung and missed a lot at PG National, so I’m curious to see how he performs the rest of the summer, since he hadn’t had that issue before. I’d say SS Bryson Stott from UNLV is the favorite right now, but he’s on Team USA and they start playing in a few days, so I’d like to see that team before we start lining guys up, since there’s a lot of info coming in over the next few weeks. Quick 2019 prep update SS CJ Abrams (GA) and SS Bobby Witt (TX) look like the top 2 guys still, RF Riley Greene (FL) and 3B Rece Hinds (FL) are probably the next two bats. On the pitcher side, RHP Brennan Malone (NC) is tops right now, RHP Matthew Allan (FL), LHP Hunter Barco (FL) and RHP Quinn Priester (IL) are the next three for me at this point. Expand Quote 12:58 Josh: What’s the word on Jerrion Ealy? Famous because of the two-sport pedigree, or a guy? Any chance he signs? 12:59 Kiley McDaniel: Probably the next prep hitter if I extended that list, big time athlete but the hand load is kindy funky so need to see more ABs to see how it plays against velo Expand Quote 1:06 Pickle Nick: Based on just hit and power tools where would you rank Andrew Vaughn among college bats for the 2019 draft? Is he capable of playing any other position (outfield?) than first base? 1:07 Kiley McDaniel: Just 1B, R/R, not a great athlete and hasn’t performed in the 7 games I’ve seen but his numbers are obviously insane. He’s a little ways down the list but probably on the first day if he keeps doing this. The college bats are crazy deep for 2019. On our unpublished internal 2019 list, the top 16 college players are all hitters and all top 2 round types.
