Episode Notes
Lindsay Crosby is joined by ETSU director of data and analytics Jackson Scudder to break down Atlanta’s unusual MLB draft setup with picks 9 and 26. They discuss top targets like Jackson Flora and Derek Curiel, compare Drew Burris vs. Curiel, and debate ceiling vs. floor strategy. The conversation also covers shortstops Tyler Bell vs. Justin LeBron, two-way prospect Jared Grinlinger, catcher options like Ryder Helfrich and Daniel Jackson, class strengths (college bats), and underrated names including Ben Blair and Miles Bailey, plus why the draft timing hurts college recruiting.
