Apparently Cooke's FB is up to 98.

 

And may have the arsenal to stick as a starter. Not bad.

Love this pick at the end of day 2. Short track record as a starter, was really good this year and still has some upside.

The 6-foot, 180-pound righthander was the closer for Missouri State this season, getting into 16 games, throwing 21 innings, walking six and striking out 31 batters. His fastball was 94-98 mph, to go along with an average slider and an average changeup. He gave up five of his nine earned runs in the first two weeks of the season, with a small sample of outings inflating his numbers, but he was lights out down the stretch.

 

He showcased dominant closer stuff down the stretch, but the Jays might actually try him as a starter.

[BlueRocky]

Jaden Rudd. HS. OF. 7th round pick.

 

 

Two-way player in HS batting .397

[Laika]

I really like a lot of these picks. BUT with last year's short draft I guess it's expected that this one would seem deep after day 1

[Brownie19]

f*** - that Gare Joyce article is really good. I finished it in tears. RIP Doc. Miss you.
