I really can't add much new info that hasn't been posted already by others. But as others have said, in the later rounds of the draft I focus on things that "stand out" about one player over the others. If there are 5 players who are all projected 20/20 potential but one is super fast or one has a very high intelligence/work ethic, can play defense at multiple positions, etc.

For pitchers the same applies but I look for someone that is great at one thing (stuff, movement, and especially control) or someone that has one or two very good pitches.

EDIT: Forgot to add, don't overlook the later rounds as just filler. I drafted a SP in the 27th round who was 20/20 potential who in just two seasons is my third best prospect at 20/55 and is getting better and better.
