Can't really say with baseball since they only recently started televising the drafts, but look at NBA and NFL drafts.... Every single year there are guys getting picked in middle rounds and the "experts" are making outrageous comparisons. There will be some random guard drafted in the 2nd round of the NBA draft who everyone knows will probably be nothing more than a bench player and the "experts" will say something like he has a jump shot that resembles Steph Curry or something ridiculous like that.
Point is, scouts always get giddy over potential. How often that potential is absolutely maximized is a different story.... but scouts will make it sound like guys are Hall of Famers in the making when the more likely scenario is they might be role players, if that.
