Your metrics are interesting, but frankly when you let the 'answer' HANG for more than a week (re: 94.4 velo 3rd to 1st)...interest becomes stale.
People move on.
For example, the last response on this board to the Dec. 12 infield "hose" post is now more than a week old.

The player with the hose was identified. Frankly, the post should have been deleted at that point. There are many "Stale" posts on this board (a bunch are mine) that linger far beyond their interest or usefulness. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over that.
A post that contains some form of data (stats, rankings, Bios, etc) that might used for future recruiting reference has some utility - many posts don't and should be deleted after a 5 days or so.
Keep the board clean and fresh. Read or ignore the post but by all means move on.

Don't think Oscar has been to Jupiter, but maybe he has.
Player referenced is 6-3, 192 and is projected by Rawlings-Perfect Game to be the 17th selection in the 2nd round of the 2024 MLB Draft. He is a Draft concern/risk for OSU.
FWIW: Travis Bazzana is projected in that same draft as the 20th pick in the 1st Round.

I thought you’d throw a curve ball… I think it’s either Edwards or Swanson… I’ll guess Edwards.

Edwards hasn't pitched much lately but Swanson has.
Does that help?

Baseball America and Perfect Game both think Swanson will be off the board after 2 rounds of the '24 MLB Draft.
From Baseball America:
"Swanson has one of the most powerful arsenals in the 2024 class. He pitches at 89-93 mph and has touched 94 with the physical projection in his 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame to be throwing even harder in the coming years. He pairs his fastball with a power curveball that’s among the best in the class. It’s a 78-81 mph breaking ball that looks like a fastball out of his hand, then snaps off with sharp break, good shape and depth to rack up whiffs. Swanson mainly relies on his fastball and curveball, sprinkling in an occasional changeup at 81-85 mph. He will need to tighten his fastball command, but he has made positive mechanical progress to tone down some of the effort in his delivery."
