Kind of disappointed to see the Mariners grab Colt Emerson with the pick right in front of Cleveland's. I don't follow high school baseball and New Concord is not quite local to me at 45 miles away, so I'd never heard of him before last week, but from what I'm reading on Facebook, his mother is somehow related to family friends of mine. He's likely a Guards fan, but people get weird down there around I-70 and south and some feel more of a connection to Cincinnati or Pittsburgh.
Maybe hoping for Sammy Stafura now?
another Yankees fan I think, let’s get a team full of them
Clemson commit

Gotta be soon. Next team that wants a high school prep arm.
I hope the Sox pass tbh. Rather they go with another college player they can sign
Dammit Reds, you don’t need a SS for 15 years what are you drafting another one for
F the R**s
First Santana and then Stafura

MLB.com scout:
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50
Zanetello climbed up Draft boards with a strong showcase circuit, beginning with MVP honors at the Breakthrough Series in June. He stood out in athletic testing at the PDP League in July, raked at the World Wood Bat Association World Championship in October and led Team USA in hitting (.429) at an 18-and-under World Cup qualifying tournament in November. Scouts love his five-tool potential as well as his makeup.
Zanetello has a wiry 6-foot-2 frame with room to add more muscle, and his strong hands and wrists produce plenty of bat speed and 25-homer potential. He doesn't have the prettiest right-handed swing but makes a lot of hard contact. He also shows good control of the strike zone and produced against quality pitching throughout the summer.
While Zanetello has clocked run times that earn grades from anywhere from 45 to 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale, the consensus is that he'll probably have solid speed once he's physically mature. His athleticism and strong arm help him make plays at shortstop, where he projects as an average defender. The Arkansas commit has looked solid in stints in center field and should provide similar glovework if he shifts to third base.

I guess. I think I'm just being impatient. My best friend's nephew is Alex Clemmey and I have work in the morning, so I was hoping I'd see him go tonight. Tomorrow will be okay.
I saw Williamson play this year. Very very good hitter. Mariners scouts were there too
