Sounds like he's basically Bielak with a better spring. Which is cool and all, but they were able to get Bielak in the 11th.
RJ Freure, 92-95mph out of the pen with a plus curveball. Projects as a multi inning reliever. Needs to improve command.
Maybe they think Nathan Perry is the guy in TC? They didn't take Papierski until the 8th last year, so it's not that unprecedented.
Would be great if Perry was ready to be the everyday C for them but he didn’t catch very many games in the GCL last season so I am guessing he will repeat there.
Salazar, who was born in Mexico but raised in Tucson, was a 1st-team All-Pac-12 selection this season. He threw out 17 of 29 would-be base stealers in 2018.
Strong words from his college coach: Said Johnson of Salazar: “He’s my favorite player I’ve ever coached. I mean it’s almost hard to talk about. There’s not a better human being on the planet than him. ... The playing thing is great. He’s one of the best catchers in the country and I can’t say enough.” https://www.azdesertswarm.com/arizo...all-mlb-draft-unlikely-return-2019-pro-minors
For me after Larnach was gone, Beer was basically the best college hitter available. I think he'll sign a bit under slot so we could sign Schroeder above slot. This is what I was expecting when you have the second least money in the draft pool.
