1952 MLB Draft
Emanuel Santistevan was drafted first overall. He does have a fragile injury history but finished in the top 3 for the Johan Velez MVP award twice in High School as well as once for the NCAA Phoenix Amoss MVP award. He was originally drafted 4th overall in 1949 by the Cardinals but failed to sign. The top pitcher drafted was Batbilguun Bohrer - your traditional Mongolian college pitcher. That is actually his second nationality as he was born in Santa Fe, TX. He has three almost MLB-ready pitches (fastball, slider, changeup) but his control is lacking quite a bit. Round 1, Pick 1 - Cincinnati Reds: CF Emanuel Santistevan, age 21 Round 1, Pick 2 - Tampa Bay Devil Rays: SP Batbilgüün Bohrer, age 21 Round 1, Pick 3 - Baltimore Orioles: LF Kinichi Hamamoto, age 18 Round 1, Pick 4 - Los Angeles Dodgers: SP Remy Bukharin, age 21 Round 1, Pick 5 - Florida Marlins: SP Wes Sowers, age 21 Round 1, Pick 6 - Oakland Athletics: 1B Hector Boss, age 21 Round 1, Pick 7 - Minnesota Twins: 3B Bobby Avalos, age 18 Round 1, Pick 8 - Pittsburgh Pirates: 2B Alfonso Booker, age 21 Round 1, Pick 9 - Houston Astros: C Nathan Reifsnyder, age 21 Round 1, Pick 10 - Atlanta Braves: 1B Owen Merchant, age 21 Round 1, Pick 11 - Chicago Cubs: SS Cecil Culpepper, age 18 Round 1, Pick 12 - Colorado Rockies: SP Jacob Parsons, age 18 Round 1, Pick 13 - Arizona Diamondbacks: SP Olivier Goulet, age 22 Round 1, Pick 14 - San Francisco Giants: LF Sebastian Yglesias, age 21 Round 1, Pick 15 - Chicago White Sox: 3B Darwin Yi, age 21 Round 1, Pick 16 - Philadelphia Phillies: CF Hernando Bonilla, age 21 Round 1, Pick 17 - Texas Rangers: RF Kolten Bachmann, age 21 Round 1, Pick 18 - Seattle Mariners: SP Cassidy Byers, age 21 Round 1, Pick 19 - Montreal Expos: SP Erik Haney, age 18 Round 1, Pick 20 - Cleveland Indians: SP Christopher Price, age 21 Round 1, Pick 21 - Toronto Blue Jays: 2B Brian Tuttle, age 21 Round 1, Pick 22 - San Diego Padres: 3B P.J.

1952 Hall of Fame
Bond Lott, LHP Lott's wipeout slider carried him through his major league career as a dominant pitcher - 8th all-time in WAR and 5th all-time in JAWS. He is one of four pitchers to ever pass the 2,000 K mark, behind J.P. Avila, Zach Jensen, and Devon McFadden. Lott was drafted 8th overall by the Phillies in 1930 out of Carbondale High School in Illinois and spent time with the Phillies, Mets, Blue Jays, and Indians in his career. He won four Pitcher of the Year awards and was a 5-time all-star. Career Stats: 3716.7 IP, 1241 BB, 2007 K, 3.24 FIP, 86 FIP-, 75.2 WAR, 67.5 JAWS Dale Estrada, CF Estrada was drafted by the Brewers 1st overall in 1932 out of Rice University. Most of the value in his career came as a member of the Brewers but he spent more years as a member of the Braves. He never won an MVP award but was a three-time all-star, gold glove winner, and playoff MVP. His career stats place him solidly in the top-10 CF all-time, with similar numbers to Jax Slaughter. Estrada's 2,808 hits are fifth all-time, slotting him just behind Lester Taylor. Career Stats: 12195 PA, 2808 H, 239 HR, 284 SB, .333 wOBA, 105 wRC+, 79.7 ZR, 57 WAR, 46.6 JAWS K.J. Wright, SS Wright was the MVP in 1941, won two gold gloves, three silver sluggers, went to four all-star games, was a two-time playoff MVP, and won the ultimate award -- a World Series championship. He was drafted 10th overall by the Tigers in 1936 out of Boston College. Both his WAR and JAWS totals are 7th all-time for shortstops. Career Stats: 7274 PA, 1767 H, 65 HR, 123 SB, .350 wOBA, 114 wRC+, 88.9 ZR, 51.2 WAR, 45.3 JAWS Luciano Hutson, SS Hutson is an interesting case - he is the only Hall of Fame player to have fewer than 1,000 hits and one of two (Oliver Finnie) to have fewer than 5,000 PA. However, when comparing his career to other SS, it rises to the top as elite, primarily on the strength of his defense. Hutson was drafted with the 659th overall pick by the Marlins in 1936 out of Island Trees High School in Levittown, NY. He won three gold gloves, went to 6 all-star games, was a silver slugger, and World Series champ. Career Stats: 4968 PA, 929 H, 23 HR, 185 SB, .340 wOBA, 112 wRC+, 134.5 ZR, 46 WAR, 43.1 JAWS Anthony Taubman, 2B Taubman spent his entire 15 year career with the Braves after getting drafted 1st overall in 1937. He was on the Washington State national championship team his final year of college - a pretty good first week of June for the young Anthony. He then won the Rookie of the Year award in 1938, along with his first of two gold gloves and first of two silver sluggers. He was a three-time all-star and 1945 NLCS MVP. Career Stats: 8337 PA, 2008 H, 170 HR, 138 SB, .338 wOBA, 111 wRC+, 68.9 ZR, 47.8 WAR, 41.1 JAWS |

1953 Top 100 Prospects
The Orioles' Juan Alonzo is the top prospect in baseball this year. He is an all-around hitter with a good chance to stay in CF for a while. Alonzo was originally a scouting discovery out of the Dominican Republic. The number one pitcher is Jordan Berger -- the first pitcher selected in both the 1948 and 1951 drafts. He is already major league ready and would start the season on the Twins' roster but is currently out with a strained hamstring. |

Love that Hutson goes into the Hall after having been picked with the 659th pick of the draft. Going in with a couple of #1's, a #8 and a #10.

1953 MLB Draft
Bradford Baugh - the 1st overall pick in 1950 - failed to sign and went to the University of Florida. Well he was drafted 1st overall again this year. The top hitter drafted was Ulysses Gleeson - most of his offensive tools are coming of age but his discipline is still lacking. Farah Antunes--born in Wesport, MA--but with family history in Somalia, was the first high-schooler off the board. He has quite a few pitches but none of them are quite ready yet. Round 1, Pick 1 - Los Angeles Dodgers: SP Bradford Baugh, age 21 Round 1, Pick 2 - Toronto Blue Jays: 1B Ulysses Gleeson, age 21 Round 1, Pick 3 - Tampa Bay Devil Rays: SP Jon Merfeld, age 21 Round 1, Pick 4 - Tampa Bay Devil Rays: SP Batbilgüün Bohrer, age 22 Round 1, Pick 5 - Houston Astros: RF Meredith Applewhite, age 21 Round 1, Pick 6 - Milwaukee Brewers: CF Roger Rosario, age 21 Round 1, Pick 7 - Florida Marlins: SP Yoshida Yamamoto, age 21 Round 1, Pick 8 - Minnesota Twins: SP Farah Antunes, age 18 Round 1, Pick 9 - Pittsburgh Pirates: 1B Tsuneyoshi Yamashida, age 21 Round 1, Pick 10 - Chicago Cubs: SS Steffen Eckman, age 18 Round 1, Pick 11 - Chicago White Sox: SS Noah Brandmeyer, age 21 Round 1, Pick 12 - Chicago Cubs: SS Latrell Plummer, age 21 Round 1, Pick 13 - Oakland Athletics: SS Rafioby Palacios, age 18 Round 1, Pick 14 - Montreal Expos: SP Kazuhiko Takahashi, age 21 Round 1, Pick 15 - Los Angeles Angels: SP B.J.

1953 Hall of Fame
Gabe Longoria, RHP Longoria was stable and steady with 13 seasons of between 3 and 6 WAR. He started 454 games over that span, putting him 9th all-time in the stat. Recent inductee John Kalinoski holds the record with 610 games started in his career. Longoria won two gold gloves and a World Series and spent his entire time in the majors with the Expos. He was an international discovery out of the Dominican Republic in 1931. Career Stats: 3993 IP, 1167 BB, 1322 K, 3.55 FIP, 97 FIP-, 59.1 WAR, 53.3 JAWS Maxwell Williford, 1B Williford jumped around a couple of times and split his career evenly between the Reds, Marlins, and Rangers. He was a 5-time all-star, 5-time silver slugger, gold glove winner, and World Series champion and MVP. He was drafted 23rd overall by the Marlins in 1935. Career Stats: 9641 PA, 2327 H, 233 HR, .358 wOBA, 121 wRC+, 104.3 ZR, 52.3 WAR, 42 JAWS Jaden Breaux, RHP Breaux had a great borderline HOF career and was especially good for a pitcher drafted in the middle of the 2nd round. He was taken out of Pendleton High School by the Rockies, where he spent two long stints. He went to three all-star games and lacked the peak that Gabe Longoria had that pushed him into the Hall. Career Stats: 3329.7 IP, 1023 BB, 1035 K, 3.53 FIP, 91 FIP-, 57.6 WAR, 41.5 JAWS |

1954 Top 100 Prospects
If Bradford Baugh stays healthy, he's going to be the top pitching prospect for the next few years as he has just made it to Single-A. The Brewers have the first overall hitting prospect after their first overall draft pick a few years ago. Paul Vines has been working hard in the minor leagues and is getting close to MLB-ready.
