Going to use the Mets again, since that's all I know of in deep draft classes.
Casey Meisner (3rd rounder, RHSP, 6'7/170 with a FB already in the low 90s and projection out the you know what) isn't Ricky Knapp (short RHSP college guy might top at 91, pure C&C guy) is not Tyler Bashlor (11th round reliever big fastball) isn't Paul Paez (30th round lefty reliever) etc... but in OOTP, they might as well all be named Joe Smith because they ARE all the same.
Casey Meisner has HUGE upside, if he fills out, if he adds velocity, if his secondaries develop, he could become the next Syndergaard. There are innumerable impediments in his way, but he's not Ricky Knapp, who might become Rick Reed (Dillon Gee, if you want) if all breaks right.
