Scouting the 2017 Draft: Later Rounds Part 2

119. Marlins:  Colton Hock, RHP, College(Stanford).  R:  0-1, 7.00, 9 IP, 0 BB, 10 K.  SS:  1-3, 6.62, 17.2 IP, 12 BB, 13 K.  Hock was a polarizing prospect.  I had him ranked lower than some others.  Rough start to pro career.  Grade D.

120.  Royals:  Michael Gigliotti, OF, College.  R:  .329/.482/.477, 3 HR, 15 SB, 16.8 BB%, 11.0 K%, 191 PA.  A:  .302/.378/.419, HR, 7 SB, 8.0 BB%, 20.0 K%, 100 PA.  Gigliotti's stock dropped dramatically with a brutal junior season.  He continued to thrive as a pro after an aggressive promotion to A ball.  Grade A.

121.  Astros:  Peter Solomon, RHP, College(Notre Dame).  Pitched just 1 inning as a pro.  Grade:  Incomplete.

135.  Cubs:  Erich Uelman, RHP, College(Cal Poly).  SS:  0-2, 2.04, 17.2 IP, 9 BB, 23 K.  Grade B.

149.  Marlins:  Ryan Lillie, RHP, College(UC Riverside):  SS:  0-5, 4.35, 31 IP, 5 BB, 27 K.  Grade B.

153.  Mariners:  David Banuelos, C, College(Long Beach St.):  SS:  .236/.331/.394, 4 HR, 11 BB%, 27.4 K%, 146 PA.  Grade C+.

161.  Alex Scherff, RHP, HS.  DNP.  Scherff's stock dropped pre-draft.  I still liked him.  Grade Incomplete.

163.  Nationals:  Brigham Hill, RHP, College(Texas).   SS:  0-1, 2.63, 13.2 IP, 3 BB, 9 K.  A:  0-1, 6.07, 29.2 IP, 5 BB, 30 K.  Aggressive promotion to A ball.  ERA was high, but ratios look good.  Grade B.

166.  Twins:  Ricky De La Torre, SS, HS.  R:  .268/.341/.359, 3 HR, 5 SB, 9.4 BB%, 22.9 K%, 120 PA.  I had De La Torre as a first round talent all the way up to draft day.  Twins grab him at top of 6'th round and sign him with $500K bonus.  I'll be watching this one closely in future seasons.  Grade B on performance, but could be the steal of the draft.

207.  White Sox:  Evan Skoug, C, College(TCU).  R:  .529/.600/.882, 20 PA.  A:  .154/.263/.308, 76 PA.  Stock dropped after brutal junior season.  Aggressive promotion to A ball might have been a bridge too far?

210.  Royals:  Brewer Hicklen, OF, College.  R:  .299/.384/.471, HR, 3 SB, 9.1 BB%, 27.2 K%, 99 PA.  R:  .348/.439/.609, 3 HR, 13 SB, 11.0 BB%, 29.3 K%, 82 PA.  College sleeper.  Nice numbers but too low levels.  Grade B.

214.  Cardinals:  Chase Pinder, OF, College(Clemson).  R:  .320/.442/.438, 3 HR, 5 SB, 209 PA.  Nice numbers.  Level too low.  Grade B.

225.  Cubs:  Ricky Tyler Thomas, LHP, College(Fresno St).  SS:  1-0, 2.33, 19.1 IP, 13 BB, 24 K.  Too many walks.  Grade B-.

232.  D'Backs:  Tim Susanna, C, College(Oregon).  SS:  .210/.329/.282, 13.7 BB%, 24.7 K%, 146 PA.  Grade D+.

252.  Indians:  Eli Morgan, RHP, College(Gonzaga).  DNP.  Grade Incomplete.

261.  A's:  Jared Poche, LHP, College(LSU).  DNP.  Grade Incomplete.

363.  Marlins:  Darren McCaughan, RHP, College(Long Beach St.).  R:  0-1, 3.75, 12 IP, 3 BB, 18 K. Grade B.

550.  Dodgers:  Max Gamboa, RHP, College(Pepperdine).  1 IP.  Grade Incomplete.
