The Beavers have 3 members of their 2024 recruiting class projected in the MLB Draft tomorrow. All three are pitchers with one also being an outstanding SS (Haight). The list includes player, round and selection, drafting team and slot bonus. MLB Scouts and G.M.s do not see this draft as strong as the 2023 group, one of the reasons being a sharp drop-off in college arms once the top 3 are off the board. The lack of pitching power in the prep group is evident as well. That could lead to some disappointment in the Beaver camp with 3 pitching prospects projected in the top third of the draft.
BEAVER RECRUITS IN THE DRAFT: (PG Projection) RHP Dax Whitney - 2nd round - 29th pick / Astros - $1,319,200 RHP Adam Haight - 4th round - 10th pick / Tigers - $637,200 RHP Zach Swanson - 7th round - 8th pick / Pirates - $281,500

Could Dax have told scouts he intends to sign with Beavs? Nothing yet and almost through the 5th round.

Is this good news for OSU, or are MLB draft round projections simply guesses? (Mostly sarcasm, but still).
Dax Whitney - projected (2). Actual (undrafted) Adam Haight - projected (4). Actual (20) Zach Swanson - projected (7). Actual (9)
what do the experts out there think?

So Dax is a Beav. Does Zach follow? Maybe

So Dax is a Beav. Does Zach follow? Maybe Zach is almost certainly gone. The MLB team would lose that pick’s slot $ from their bonus pool if the player goes unsigned. So draftees in top 10 rounds have likely already agreed in principle to the signing bonus. I consider Zach gone. OTOH, Adam Haight IMHO is a “flyer” pick the Mets only hope to sign if 1 of 2 things happen - they have a bunch of extra bonus pool to spend, or they hope the player could change their mind in the next 2 weeks.
