Configuration: 10 cards per pack. But without the all-important strikeout upside that would get the hobby on the bandwagon, he will be at the top half of Tier 3. Normally this profile with the added catcher penalty would be a Tier None player, but given how many balls he put over the fence at FSU, I am going to slide him into the bottom half of Tier 3 and be ready to move him into Tier None if he can't repeat that. Command and control is his game and letting hitters make mistakes rather than having a ton of raw stuff. I caught a few glimpses of a 12-6 curveball that mostly he didn't finish leaving it up high.

Backend starter with bullpen risk or follower type role lands him in Tier None. Carter Jensen - C (Royals, 1st Base and Auto, 78/112) - Another risky prep catcher profile and there are some that think Jensen may not stick there. Will regularly throw all three of his secondaries with the slider and curveball being above average to plus offerings. Tier None slotting with an outside chance of ticking up to Tier 3. Cooper Bowman - 2B (Yankees, 1st Base only, 122/186) - If you haven't heard them already, get ready to hear them regularly as every breaker and collector who hits a Cooper Bowman card will squeeze whatever jokes are possible out of him being in a Bowman product.

He has both outcomes of a backend starter or high leverage bullpen arm basically equally weighted in his future.

He easily ticks all the boxes and seems natural in whatever he does. Set Links - Overview - Checklist - Teams - Errors / Variations - Hall of Famers . The profile will depend on how the Orioles push him. No real reliever risk either. All in all, a defense-first Tier None player that will need to take big strides with the bat in his hand to move up the Tiers.

Not nearly as highly valued, but still worth being aware of and collecting, perhaps at a cheaper price point than their 1st Bowman cards. Started for A&M in all 14 of his appearances with a healthy amount of strikeouts but not a ton of overall success. Both pitches are double plus killers when they are on. Low floor given all of the x-factors, but super high ceiling of an SP2 will have me push him into Tier 3. He was more of a corner player and shifted over to catching as a freshman in high school, so it's definitely possible for him to move back out to a corner. *Catchers and Pitchers are often knocked down a tier just due to their position. If he finds that power stroke again without giving up too much to get it and finding a home in a corner OF spot, he starts to creep towards Tier 2.

The curveball has nice shape and snap to it with good spin. When it's on, the curveball is a nice 11-5 swing and miss pitch that tunnels well with his fastball. Mid rotation floor featuring a high-spin slider as his swing and miss pitch. Additional fastball velocity and/or increased development of his other secondaries will cement his big league status and I am betting on the Brewers dev org to do just that. Not a ton of in-game power at the moment for the lefty prep out of Tennessee, but he can take it deep with authority in BP. On the other hand, the Angels need starting pitching in the worst way (spending every draft pick on a pitcher is certainly a mood) and I imagine they will give him every opportunity to see if he can stick in the rotation. With the catcher penalty, I am going to stick him in Tier 2, but don't mind those that see him in their personal top Tier. Brady House - SS (Nationals, 1st Base only, 11/6) - One of the more well-known names in this draft class as he's been on the radar and considered as a 1st rounder for quite a while.
