184. Jace Bohrofen Bats: L Class: 4YR JR Height: 6' 2" Pick Value: $304.70k Throws: R DOB: 10/19/01 Weight: 205 Birthplace: USA The top position player in a deep 2020 Oklahoma high school class loaded with pitching, Bohrofen was a top-three-rounds talent who ultimately couldn't be lured away from college. He didn't hit enough to claim a regular job as an Oklahoma freshman or Arkansas sophomore, though he did perform well with wood bats in the Cape Cod League in both summers. He has been one of the most dangerous hitters in the Southeastern Conference this spring and regained his former prospect status. A left-handed hitter with a sound swing, Bohrofen has improved at making contact and driving the ball in the air throughout his college career. He tried to do too much in his lone season with the Sooners, but since has learned to let his plus raw power come naturally. He has developed a more discerning eye at the plate and his prodigious strength leads to high exit velocities, though his propensity to swing and miss in the strike zone concerns some clubs. While Bohrofen will get drafted mostly based on his offensive production, he's a decent athlete. He has fringy-to-average speed and good instincts on the bases and in the outfield corners. He's a capable defender in left or right field with an average arm.

Maybe they reach a deal with Maroudis where he signs for less / slot value and is allowed to continue his development as both a pitcher and a shortstop?

121. Landen Maroudis Bats: R Class: HS SR Height: 6' 3" Pick Value: $547.10k Throws: R DOB: 12/16/04 Weight: 190 Birthplace: USA Calvary Christian High School in Florida has one of the deepest high school pitching staffs in the country with right-hander Liam Peterson, lefty Hunter Dietz and Maroudis. Also the club's shortstop when he isn't pitching, Maroudis entered the spring third on the depth chart, but many evaluators believed he had vaulted to the top of the list based on his performance and upside. Maroudis is a solid infield prospect, a good athlete who can swing the bat well, but his future at the next level lies on the mound. The 6-foot-3 right-hander has the chance to have an excellent three-pitch mix. His fastball had touched 96 mph early in the spring, though that velocity backed up a bit as he tired a bit thanks to his two-way duties. There's good ride and spin to the fastball, something sure to speak to the analytics fans. His changeup is his best secondary offering, ahead of the spike slurve he throws that's more of a frisbee-like slider than anything else, with some evaluators worrying a little bit about his breaking stuff due to how low his elbow is in his delivery. Committed to North Carolina State, Maroudis does a very good job of throwing strikes, and teams will certainly be interested in his fastball qualities as well as the upside that comes with his athleticism. Teams that think there could be another gear to reach once he stops hitting could be intrigued in the first few rounds.

I was just looking at the relief market. It would be nice to get him as a lefty for the pen. I wonder what he would cost.

Not okay with this... unless he's shaved those sideburns.

Screw the ump, Schneider for pulling Gausman, and Atkins for not addressing a clear need with a relief pitcher who can get a K.

The umpire.

Jano magic please.

Horseshit ump.

Nice walk, Bo!

f***ing f***.

fml

That Chapman, so hot right now.

And Tucker Toman goes to the Jays.

Field and arm grades look solid and risk is low. My amateur opinion is I like this pick.

Dutkanych or Toman at 60? I bet Fabian goes to the Yankees one after...

Some mocks had Jays on Toman. Wonder if he would be in play at 60.

It is a relief to see the Jays pick a player in the range that they are expected to go. IÂ’ve become so accustomed to the Ottawa Senators going off the chart with their own made up rankings that drafts have given me a bit of stress in general. All that being said, Jays drafting has produced some gems so looking forward to tracking Barriera in the future.

It's like they find new ways to lose every game. This has been a brutal stretch to watch.

This game got out of hand quickly

That beard is worth 1 WAR.

Now walk it off and shove it in Verdugo/Pivetta/Vasquez’s faces.

If ever there was a game that I wanted the Jays to win, it’s this one.

Time to cash in young Ron Perlman.

Good start, Cavan.
