History in Detroit tonight:

Kevin McGonigle has reached base multiple times on 53 occasions before the All-Star Game.

That is a new @MLB record, surpassing the mark set by Aaron Judge in 2017.

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

Welp. Never mind. Lol.

But the talent is still at that level and I'd take a chance on him

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

Why is everybody overthinking this? He's a 6'9 lefty that throws 101 in high school with a nasty arm slot. Has a good changeup and seems to actually know what he's doing on the mound too. He's in the Lackey/Emerson/Roch tier this draft

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

These are the biggest hands I’ve ever seen for a pitcher. 😳

6’9” High School pitcher Brody Bumila throws 101 mph and makes a baseball look like a ping pong ball.

@RobertStock6 Hitting is hard and even the best hitters in the world constantly get themselves out

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

In like 2029 Ceddanne will have his career year and get his 30/30 and he’ll probably post like an 11 WAR with that defense

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

@RainierDays_ It's because the rotation/starter depth there is that good. Someone has a down year and it doesn't matter because someone else has a breakout year. Kade Anderson would probably be up by now, but they don't even have room for him.

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

That's playing for 7 seasons and even then that's if you play every game. With injuries, how guys don't reach rookie status right away, etc, you're looking at close to a 10 year major league career. I'm honestly surprised it's that high.

[AT @BaseballWRLD_]

Playing 1000 MLB games might be more rare than you think

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

@Michael_Cerami If only Ohtani didn't exist... he'd be on pace to rack up some hardware

@JeremyBranham Leading in both OBP and SLG. No one is close to him right now.

OBP and SLG of qualified hitters across the league

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

@xOneTrackMind @BaseballAmerica It's all great. But footwork can be taught. You either have hands like that or you don't for the most part. That's what makes plays

[ScoutNScrape @ScoutNScrape]

@brendan_cubs There needs to be a way for exit velocities to be adjusted on choppers. That ball at the 10 second mark was hit as weak as any ball here, but had one of the highest exit velos in this video.

I'm going to drop a list of my top draft prospects at some point before the draft but Vahn Lackey is my clear #1
