Message: [QUOTE="BuckleyNerd, post: 3976754, member: 9733"] Yeah those are good points, I just don't know how much of a lock he is for the top two rounds, though. The curve is filthy, but is he [I]really[/I] sitting low 90s every game, and is he sustaining that velocity? I though I saw a tweet earlier in the thread saying he was sitting 88-90 his last time out? That's a big difference from consistently 91-93 topping at 95 or whatever, even if he's projectable. How is his command? How much top flight competition has he faced? There's a long track record of pro teams preferring college arms, and being very bearish on New England prep pitchers. These are all factors that I could see pushing him more into 3rd round range, even if in a vacuum he is a late first/early second round talent. [/QUOTE]
