2020 Amateur draft

The draft order for this draft has been randomized to ensure fairness across the leagues. In future drafts the teams with the lowest record will go earlier, regardless of league.

1OA Calgary selects SP Brandon Jamison who by all accounts looks to be a stud pitcher coming out of college. He has a 4 pitch mix with the potential for a nasty curveball.

2OA Pittsburgh selects CF James Grover the promising center fielder from LSU. I’m bummed to see Grover go here at number two, I’ve had my eye on him all year. He will be an incredible defensive center fielder with plus plus speed and (if he develops) a competent to above average bat.

3OA Ecatepec selects SS Kyle Bosserman the college junior out of UT Arlington. He appears to be a promising shortstop of the future, although OSA is much higher on him than my scout.

5OA Leon selects SP Mike Bossinger out of JuCO. Bossinger was the safe pick of the draft, bringing in a starting pitcher who has some upside but more importantly, a high floor.

Remaining Bravos draft:

2nd Round Bravos select SP Eddie Blackburn out of high school. To accompany the Bossinger pick, here is a lottery ticket pick with the 18 year old pitcher from New York. If he develops he could become a devastating control pitcher with a plus plus circle change.

3rd Round Bravos select CF Josh Mickley out of high school. The 19 year old will likely end up being a corner outfielder, but he has impressive arm strength and potentially above average power.

4th Round Bravos select CF Bill Brooks out of high school. I was debating between Mickley and Brooks for my 3rd round pick, excited to snatch him up here.

5th Round Bravos select SS Bobby Averill out of the University of San Diego. Averill is an excellent defensive shortstop, I’m just hoping that his bat develops to be close to average.

6th Round Bravos select SP Chris Carroll out of East LA College. He has a 5 pitch mix, but would need some serious development to make the majors.

7th Round Bravos select C Mike Redmond out of Canada. The 17 year old has some decent potential, but at this point will likely be a minor league player.

8th Round Bravos select CF Raul Osario as a high schooler

I feel pretty good about the first 5 or 6 rounds of the draft bringing in a few great SP and some high upside CF and SS.
