GauravGUEST
Typically, this league is gonna be for players either that have missed significant time due to injury, so you really wanna get added reps.
GauravGUEST
I mean, you look at someone like Isaiah Drake for the Braves, who hasn't played since June.
GauravGUEST
They wanted to get more reps in for the season because he didn't play again July, August.
GauravGUEST
So it's, it's a way for those types of players to get seen, to get added reps, uh, I'm sorry, and, and get exposure to, to a little more pitching and a little more different types of pitching.
8 MINS LATER
GauravGUEST
So a, a lot of encouraged, encouraging things from almost everyone outside of, of Tanner Bauman, um, on the pitching side of things.
GauravGUEST
Um-
Jake MastroianniHOST
Yeah, and on the hitting side of things, I mean, just two games, right? A- and some exciting prospects here in Isaiah Drake, Owen Carey.
Jake MastroianniHOST
We haven't seen Tate Southstein yet.
Jake MastroianniHOST
Ethan Bagwell, I mean, we were talking about him for pitcher of the year for most of the season, before he got, uh, banged up a little early on and they decided to shut him down.
Jake MastroianniHOST
And Isaiah Drake quietly had, you know, another really solid season too, so this is a good group here as well.
GauravGUEST
Yeah, it's, it's a lot to like about four out of the five.
GauravGUEST
With Caiden McCarthy, he mainly fell simply because he didn't pitch this season.
GauravGUEST
Just so much to like about what Ethan did.
GauravGUEST
While he might not have that standalone plus pitch, just his ability to, to command several different types of pitches and get them into the right zones is what really set him apart from the rest of his brass, uh, especially in Low-A and, and High-A Rome.
GauravGUEST
And then Isaiah Drake, we saw the improvements this season.
GauravGUEST
Unfortunately, it was cut short due to injury.
Elijah EvansHOST
And then Briggs McKenzie are the headliners here, both high-level picks, some really good prospect pedigree that missed some time this year.
Elijah EvansHOST
Rest of the Braves guys going out are Owen Carey, outfielder, Isaiah Drake, an outfielder, left-hander Tanner Bauman, right-hander Owen Hackman, right-hander Tyle Laporte, and right-hander Logan Samuels to round out the Braves guys going.
Aram LeightonHOST
Yeah, we got a top 100 guy in South scene.
Aram LeightonHOST
He was off to a really great stretch and a great year.
Aram LeightonHOST
In, in the Arizona fall league.
Aram LeightonHOST
So good crop of players that the Braves are sending there.
Aram LeightonHOST
And I think plenty of intrigue with the, with the two bats headlining on top of, you know, I think one of the more exciting arms and then even Isaiah Drake is a really good athlete, brother of Kenyan Drake, the running back in the NFL.
Aram LeightonHOST
And he has ton of speed, ton of defensive ability and, and has flashed some, some, some twitchiness.
Chris WelshHOST
So everybody knows Quintero, Southstein, and Bonamer, but McKenzie, Davlin, Sangford, and Severino, I think tier two to me represents players that have a really good opportunity to kind of rocket up.
Chris WelshHOST
Um, tier three, we've got, uh, Charles Harlan from the Dodgers, Dylan Lewis with the, uh, Miami Marlins, former Yankee, Owen Carey with Atlanta and Isaiah Drake.
Chris WelshHOST
So these are guys that I'm still just giving some attention to.
Chris WelshHOST
Um, I personally like Harlan.
Chris WelshHOST
Dylan Lewis almost put up a 2020 season, 18 homers, 20 stolen bases, joined the Marlins, 242 average.
Chris WelshHOST
Owen Carey is someone that had some helium and it kind of backtracked a little bit, but 10 homers, seven stolen bases, 244.
Chris WelshHOST
And Isaiah Drake, Good, solid 264, 12 homers, 19 stolen bases.
Chris WelshHOST
I think these are all guys that I just kind of want to pay attention to.
George McNairHOST
But we're moving on to our number eight prospect in the outfield for the Braves and number 17 prospect from Battery Power.
George McNairHOST
top 30 and that is isaiah drake so isaiah drake hit 264 this year with a 342 on base percentage and a 443 slug he had 12 home runs 19 stolen bases in mostly high a this year so drake flashed exciting tools at times this year he was drafted very raw um raw but a very toolsy player he's the brother of uh an nfl running back uh and he looks the part of of you know that he's coming from a family of running packs okay and and really looks the part of a potential star player just in his uniform he's obviously very athletic and strong The question is, can he develop the fine skills required, you know, the baseball requires for success because of Drake's.
George McNairHOST
Huge physical talent.
George McNairHOST
He does have higher ceiling than some of these on the list, even though he's a little lower on the list than some.
George McNairHOST
Maybe as he has a successful year like he just did, maybe you move him up to the next level, just one level a year kind of thing, just a little slower than some of these other guys.
George McNairHOST
Um, so the Braves are likely to get likely going to be patient with him.
George McNairHOST
But like I said, I like Isaiah Drake a lot.
George McNairHOST
He has the physical tools that you would want.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Another prominent name, maybe at this point, a little bit more name than prospect status.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
I think we had him, and by we, I mean Taylor, had him at number 17 on our pro- on our Braves Today prospect lists, is Isaiah Drake, and he'll be there as well.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
On the prospect composite that we do, he came in at tw- he came in with a score of 22, and that was among, looks like seven different data sources ranking him.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
He came in seventh, right? But this is something where he really struggled in his first full season in professional baseball, which is common, right? Adjusting to that everyday playing time, the physical grind of it.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Another prominent name, maybe at this point a little bit more named than prospect status.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
I think we had him, by we I mean Taylor, had him at number 17 on our Braves Today prospect list is Isaiah Drake.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
And he'll be there as well.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
On the prospect composite that we do, he came in with a score of 22.
