I know, I was kidding. I think I've seen some 2027 kids getting interest. They're 12/13 years old. Insane, but I'm starting to understand the projections the more baseball that I watch. It's still wildly imperfect, but I understand it a little better now.

there is quite a few 27 kids we are on. thats 8th grade.

only a couple 28 kids. but you have to understand there are kids going into 7th grade that are hitting 80 right now. Fastest 14u kids throw upper 80s/90.

when you got kids going into high school already throwing 90 with off speed, 2/4 seam then its easy to see why we are after them

same with hitters, running sub 7 in middle school with exit velocities in the mid 80s while playing with 16u teams on high school fields makes it pretty projectable.

Like i know LSU is on a couple 9th graders at barbe and atleast 1 8th grader( Jordin Griffin).

as far as 2027 kids, its more monitoring than anything to make sure they continue to progress.

The thing about baseball is the tools don't get worse with age... so you can see a young kid play the game and project that if the body keeps pace, he's gonna project up.

It's one reason why I was so high on Connor Simon - having watched him play since 9/10 yo ball. By the time he went to Sheets at 12 their damn MIF played like seasoned college players.
