While the window for getting Bryce Bush on this list was a bit too late, I think he well make a lot of teams and scouts look bad for his slide to the 33rd round.  Will be interesting to see if he opens next year in full season ball, and how he responds to the challenge.

Any word on how Bush's defense looks? I know scouts mentioned his huge raw power, but questioned where he can handle defensively.

I don't think there is any doubt that he will be on the 2019 preseason list. But I would anticipate some growing pains if they start him at Kannapolis next year. If he handles that as a 19 year-old, watch out.
