This is from Sports Illustrated:


11. Baltimore Orioles: Grayson Rodriguez, RHP, 6’ 5”, 230 lbs., Central Heights HS, Texas

Big, hard throwing righthanded pitchers are as much of a staple of major league baseball as are hot dogs, peanuts and warm, overpriced beer. The term “innings eater” for many years was a derogatory term masquerading as praise. However, with modern starters rarely lasting more than six innings or 100 pitches, a power righty like Rodriguez will draw intense interest in the first round.

Built like a tight end, Rodriguez has raw stuff that should land him at or near the top of a big league rotation one day. He fires a 92–94 fastball that touches 96 and a hard low 80s slider. Rodriguez will need to develop two more pitches—a curve and change, perhaps—to fill out his arsenal.

Modern biomechanically influenced pitching analysts insist that velocity comes from three sources: arm speed, lower half drive and hip and shoulder separation. In other words, what traditionalists call upper and lower half. Rodriguez does an excellent job of using his upper half but will need to significantly improve the mechanics in his lower half.

This one is from Bleacher Report:


First Round (No. 11 Overall): Grayson Rodriguez, RHP, Central Heights (Texas) HS

Rodriguez is a 6'5", 230-pound high schooler who sits in the mid-90s and touches 98 mph with a heavy fastball. He backs it with a slider-curveball-changeup mix that should play in the pros. He's had more helium than anyone in the draft over the past few weeks and ascended to the top tier of prep arms. A lack of physical projection is the biggest knock on him. But for an O's team that needs pitching in the worst way, it'll happily welcome a guy who could easily wind up being the best prep arm in this class.

Grade: A

11. Baltimore Orioles: RHP Grayson Rodriguez, Central Heights (Texas) HS
Rodriguez's stuff took off over the past year as he got in better shape, and his stock improved accordingly. His best pitch is a heavy 92-94 mph fastball that will break bats, and both his slider and curveball are solid options.

CBSsports.com

11. RHP Grayson Rodriguez, Central Heights HS (Texas). A well-built right-hander with a commitment to Texas A&M, Rodriguez's fastball has touched the upper-90s. The heater is his breadwinner, though he does have a pair of breaking balls. He'll need to further develop his changeup and command as a professional, but there's a lot to like here.

i think mckenna will move up to bowie after the all star game he has 20 some walks while 30 some k in over 200 ab . cf leadoff bat high avg high obp Ryan McKenna Stats, Highlights, Bio | Frederick Keys Stats

I wonder if they scouted anything other than pitchers? Hardly any position players drafted at all in the first 10 rounds.

Do you actually believe that the front office will actually trade people though or do the dumbest thing possible like they do a lot of the time?
