I think Katz and Raph and going to fall into the Blake Dean category. Great college hitters but not much more of a MLB skillset. They will get drafted but more likely in the double digit rounds.

If I was an MLB GM, I wouldn't draft them too high.

High Risk, High Reward types usually go 15-20th Rounds. Katz has power but MLB scouts will say he is too small and slow. If he was fast, he would be a no brainer, top 5 round pick.

Raph will be drafted by an AL team possibly just looking for another hitter, nothing more. He doesn't have much power but the guy can hit a baseball. Career PH

JaCoby may go high enough to sign but he won't last two years with the holes in his swing.
He's got the tools but maybe the minor leagues will take the pressure off him.
