2019 MLB Draft | Day 2 Thread

[Krylian]

Jays take Canadian OF Dasan Brown 88th overall

[TheOutsider]

Canadian DJ Davis?

[jays4life19]

One of the fastest players in the 2019 class, Brown is an 80-grade runner who routinely posts sub 4.1-second home-to-first times from the righthanded batter’s box. With centerfield athleticism and instincts, Brown has tremendous upside as a defender in the middle of the outfield, tracking balls well with dynamic athleticism that will allow him to make plays other outfielders wouldn’t dream of getting to. Brown has average raw arm strength, but he needs to improve his throwing accuracy. Offensively, Brown is incredibly raw, and scouts believe he would be a two-year Rookie-ball player who you would need to teach how to hit. He has some bat-to-ball skills that he showed off with the Canadian national team against pro competition this spring, but he’s mostly a fastball hitter who has a line-drive approach and rarely elevates the ball. When he does, it’s with little impact ability as Brown has well below-average raw power in his 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame. A Texas A&M commit, Brown could be a player who teams prefer to see go to school, develop physically and prove he can hit. But if he does figure out the offensive game and takes the next steps, he has exciting upside and is one of the more impressive athletes in the class.

[Krylian]

One of the youngest in the class. Won't be 18 until Sep 25. Basically 2 years younger than Baty

[jays4life19]

Pitcher, Pitcher, Athlete who can't hit. Hurl's ideal draft?

[Jonn]

Actual proper high school age at least. Not like Baty who was in high school at 19 and half lol.

These types work out quite often, don't they?

Anthony Alford without the football, Todd should love this pick.

Even faster than Alford. Alford's speed is only a 70.

Sounds like an Anthopoulos draft!

[glory]

Definitely sounds like DJ Davis.

[Jonn]

Were should go Jake Sanford in 4th round to keep the Canadian theme going.

[Jonn]

Sounds like an Anthopoulos draft!

 

I like them big, strong, and durable and able to take the ball every 5 days.

[jays4life19]

Nah. I want a Mexican. It's 2019.

[Orgfiller]

In all seriousness, the profile reads like Cristian Pache trading some arm strength for more velocity.

[BlueRocky]

He’s probably a bit of a reach at 3, but it means we could sign him underslot for more Kendall Williams money.

 

I saw his name pop up in the BA Region rankings, and thought we might grab him in the later rounds for the Canadian connection. I think our kids even played against him in spring training.

 

Still expecting Jaxx Groshans pick eventually unless he gets plucked by another team

Watched a single youtube video

 

bat seems quick enough

 

there is an obvious mechanical flaw in his load that probably saps any real pop. might be correctable without too much effort.

[Ray]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

Yankees got our Canadian boy Jake Sanford

[Laika]

Pache is a heavily scouted, mint defender

 

Dasan Brown, scouts probably just assume is a good CF because omg fast

[Jonn]

Yankees got the stud Nova Scotian going to destroy us for years for sure.

[Jonn]

 

Sounds like he’s signing.

[Ray]

Jordan Brewer plucked too.

[jays4life19]

Fingers crossed for my boy Will Holland in the 4th.

 

BA had him going 11th overall to the Jays in their first mock! Then he forgot how to hit his Jr year.

[metafour]

He played with the Canadian National team. Scouts have seen him play defense.

[Krylian]

I'm thinking the Jays gotta be going with a below slot College guy pretty soon. Maybe 4th round.

So was Anthony Gose. Point being, scouts probably don't know what they're talking about anyway so their profiles are similar enough.

[Orgfiller]

 

Sounds like he’s signing.

 

Already changed his Twitter bio to include Toronto Blue Jays lol. That would be fantastic.

[jmomcc]

Crap, really wanted Sanford.

 

If I didn’t have faith in this front office drafting, I’d hate this draft so far. I think they’ve earned some trust tho.

[Jonn]

Another Canadian drafted Matt Brash. Ho Man!

[Ray]

 

Sounds like he’s signing.

 

Yeah, I knew this front office wouldn't jeopardize a 2nd round pick not signing.
