Description

Ben and Carlos discuss the best tools results from our survey with major league scouting departments. We wind up talking about just how impressive Georgia righthander Dylan Lesko is for quite a while, before getting into all kinds of tools on both the high school and college side of things. We talk about sleeper hitting prospects who could push up boards, how this class seems particularly strong on changeups and also look ahead to some toolsy prospects in the 2023 class—Dylan Crews and Max Clark. After that we wonder whether or not Robert Moore could be a fit for the Royals at No. 9 in the draft and then talk about the tools that, in general, excite us the most on the baseball field.Time StampsIntro/banter (0:00:01)Best tools convo starts (0:08:31)Dylan Lesko tooled up across the board (0:11:11)Concerns about pitchers who lack breaking ball feel (0:24:21)Good class for changeups (0:29:15)Other high school pitching tools that stand out (0:40:35)Druw Jones’s elite defense ability (47:21:03)Hitters not named Termarr Johnson with good hit tools (0:52:27)Best hitter in the college class (0:59:18)Looking ahead at Dylan Crews & Max Clark (1:02:46)Thoughts on Robert Moore and whether he’s a fit for the Royals at No. 9 (1:17:40)The tools that excite us the most (1:31:24)LinksMock Draft V 1.02022 High School Preseason All-America Teams2022 College Preseason All-America TeamsHigh School Best ToolsCollege Best ToolsDraft Stock Watch: A Depleted College Pitching ClassFuture Projection on Apple (please rate and review the show!)Follow us on Twitter: @FutureProPodBen's Twitter: @BenBadlerCarlos's Twitter: @CarlosACollazoBaseball America WebsiteSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/future-projection-a-baseball-america-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
