Yeah, there will be some opportunities for P2, but pretty
disappointing as far as names go. Hoping for a Condor Cash or a
Rock Shoulders later in the later rounds.

Funkhowser to Det in the 4th.

He turned down the Dodgers last year when his slot value was
$1,756,100 for the #35 overall pick. This year he's the #115
pick with a slot value of $516,200 and has no more NCAA
eligibility so no bargaining power. Bad g@mble for him and his
agent Scott Boras. Another player screwed for listening to
Boras. Hope he's smart enough to ditch Boras.

Tyson Miller, RHP, Cal Baptist
It can be hard sometimes for pitchers at small programs to get
noticed by the scouting industry. Pitching extremely well in the
Cape Cod League, as Miller did last summer, made everyone put
Division II California Baptist on their must-see destinations
this spring. For the most part, Miller backed up his Cape
showing with a strong junior season. The fact that he his starts
came largely on Wednesdays or Thursdays actually helped him get
seen more, as it didn't conflict with Division I weekend series.
Tall and projectable, with loose actions and a lean, athletic
body, the 6-foot-4 Miller will flash a fastball up to 93 mph,
with the potential for more once he gets into a player
development system. He'll show glimpses of a decent slider and
has an average changeup to round out his three-pitch arsenal.
Miller tends to throw strikes, though he is more control over
command at this point. The earliest a Cal Baptist player has
ever been drafted was in 2014, when the Dodgers took Trevor Oaks
in the seventh round. Miller's size and upside potential give
him the chance to beat Oaks by a couple of rounds.

We need a button for "Good enough for spur of the moment but not

Miller enters the draft as a top-200 prospect at 189th overall,
which – if holds – would make him the highest-ever selection in
CBU history. Oaks currently holds that distinction after the
Dodgers took him in the seventh round at 219th overall in 2014
after being the 199th-ranked prospect going into the draft.
The right-handed pitcher, Miller, was a three-time All-West
Region selection in Division II this season after posting a 2.27
earned-run average and a 1.05 WHIP. He collected nine victories
and struck out 92 batters in 107 innings.

Recent BA piece on Hatch. Sounds like a smart, dedicated guy.
Interesting about the change in arm slot.
A low-90's sinker is a very good pitch, if you can control it
consistently. As with all college pitches, easier to throw
regularly in the 90's on full-week rest than in the pros, so
we'll see.

Miller turns 21 next month, so not super young but he's got
time. The report, "up to 93", "glimpse of a decent slider"
don't sound super wow. 92K/107 innings in D2 isn't super
overwhelming, either.
Clearly a projection guy for the development team. His delivery
looks like it could get reworked.
This is the kind of guy that you have your scouting team to
find, and your development system to optimize. Hopefully
scouting and development will work out well.

19 for a college junior is pretty young. He sounds interesting,
lots of interesting guys on the scrap heap too.
