Jayden Dubanewicz plays baseball

Another pitcher?

**You know there's a cutter in there.**

Dubanewicz was Stoneman Douglas' #2 Starter. He went 11-0 w 1 Save and a 1.17 ERA pitching a shutout in the STate Final, apparently. Who was Stoneman's #1? RHP/OF Christian Gonzalez who is also a Florida Commit. 0.69 ERA. 13-0. 1.192 OPS. The nation's 122 ranked Senior. It would appear Dubanewicz is very very committed to Florida.

Hmmm....well, that sucks that he seems very committed to Florida.

AHhhhhhhh...yes. That's much better. Much much better. Apologies. I nearly lost myself for a minute there. Phewwwww.

[Joseph Zarr]

Man, just a quick glance at Malamazian (who also pitches upper 80's and has a curve, apparently), he has a really nice powerful compact swing path.

Doesn't appear to be the "big" swing that any of us were hoping for.  

Typically they wait with the big swings on day 3 until rounds 14/15/16, and it seems like that's what they're doing.

The question remains:

Will the Brewers select another position player...ever?! Stay tuned!

Given that they usually don't spend a lot on International pitching, given the success they've had recently with International hitters, and given that they have two A-ball club rosters to fill out with only a 20-round draft (of which 3-4 typically don't sign), I'm not surprised that the draft is pitching-heavy.

100%. I was being cheeky. I'm also of the opinion: when you are very clearly showcasing an ability to develop pitching at every full-season level...draft pitching. It's makes too much sense. And, being the Brewers, I again re-iterate: they find talent anywhere. Do whatever they want. I'll support it. 😅

The two high schoolers to round out day two rather than taking guys for way under slot has got me all thrown off.

I'm wondering if they were trying to float a big gun down - perhaps Sloan, who was taken two picks before theirs in the 2nd round - and had planned on needing more $ but then suddenly found themselves with extra $.

[narwhalattack]

It’s just raining lottery tickets now. I hope we’ll be able to sign most of them!

If that’s the case it might work out well for us. Sloan may have been the higher regarded prospect, but all HS prospects are lottery tickets to begin with so the more you have, the better.

[StearnsFTW]

Another HS pitcher in round 18.

Keep those lottery tickets coming boys.

 

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Tyler Renz, Cutter University HS in Cutterville. State of 'We Like Cutters.'

**I'm kidding. He is from a HS, however. And, he does pitch.**

[Joseph Zarr]

LOL. He does throw a Cutter. Amazing.

 

[Joseph Zarr]

 

[Joseph Zarr]

 

[StearnsFTW]

7 HS pitchers.  And they're all big, projectable guys (except Tobias I guess).

Love it.

[Joseph Zarr]

If you dip even modestly into Northeast scouting circles it is quite clear Renz has some big fans in the NE neck of the recruiting woods. One would also have to think: St. Johns would be a a bit easier to steal a signing from, no?

[StearnsFTW]

Wow.

 

Another HS pitcher.

 

This is one is from Wisconsin though.

RHP Noah Wech, Manitowoc HS WI
