Hell one guy in this thread gave him a second round grade based on 4 innings his sophomore year

I didn't say he was a 2nd rounder right now. He can certainly work his way up to that.

According to Next Level Baseball, he is up to 92 and will be attending a few show cases. He is incredibly raw, so the dumbasses comparing him to Zach Lee are completely off base.

About the 4 inning his sophomore year, pro scouts couldn't give a shite. They care about potential. 6'6 210 frame means he can add 20-30 pounds and some serious velocity IF (and that's a big if) he can consistently be around 91-92. He will have to play travel ball or for his HS team though. His stock can certainly rise to 2-5 round, but a team would have to have full confidence he is turning down college. If Franks says he is going to college no matter what, then he is either drafted late (38-40th round) if at all.

That's just how the MLB draft works. THe scouts don't give a shite how much he has thrown in HS. Plus, they figure since his arm doesn't have much mileage on it they can mold him and he is a lower injury risk. In order for his stock to rise though, Franks has to play.
