Worth the watch on Malachi Washington. That kid has a serious work ethic. Really like his family too.


Thank you for sharing this. Not that I wasn't already aware how good of a kid Eyanson was, but the draft day video of him really confirmed it. I think this video does the same for Washington. Good kid. He seems to really want to be a pro, and willing to do what it takes (and I hope that doesn't include taking less than he feels he's worth). I hope he really does make it to campus.

Some random observations: He seems to have grown since the 2025 season, where most of his tape came from. Filled out some while growing taller. He can hoop a little bit. Dad is a unit. Let's keep an eye on Jamir.
Koa Romero can catch, btw. I don't know if that's something Jay is considering with the class.
With that said, he will have his work cut out for him with the pitchers alone. Both Moore and Aase are coming back from significant injuries, and both Schmidt and Evans were banged up at different junctures. Some of the returning position players had, or allegedly, had some nicks too.
I believe Chris Martin spent a few years with the Astros specializing in rehab, and did some good work with arm injuries.
Nah. The LHPs coming in are strike throwers with projection for swing and miss. The LHPs left on the roster are swing and miss but will have to pitch more efficiently. I wouldn't necessarily pass on Stewart but the roster numbers get weird.
Worley was on our board, but I think he signs with the Dbacks. Another LHP may not be in the cards for us anymore. We lose Santi but get Nawrocki, Cupit, Beaty in and return Cooper Williams and Plog. Stewart would be an interesting sign, though. Alot of upside like Cam Johnson but not much else to be excited about. Worley is not a comp.

I'll take the opportunity to mention Luke Tucker again here. He's a ball player.
I think Luke Tucker is a sneaky good bat (and athlete). Like most of the class, I don't know his route to time in year 1 but he's a good get.
I'm surprised nobody has taken Major Osbolt, too.
Sides and Tucker are the names to watch now.
Nate Davis and Malachi Washington is already a good haul, with or without Murphy.
Pellegrin will go over slot for Detroit, and they drafted Will Adams today. I think Adams is a goner, but they'll have to keep wiggling money around. Pellegrin was not happy with his slot value but they got him where he wanted (or close enough).
Wrong. I missed a few in the early rounds.
Washington didn't take a high school player until round 15, and Murphy was their second one.
If all of the undrafted guys made it to campus, it would probably be unprecedented especially when you tie in the transfers.
You will definitely see some of our guys go soon, which is when we can start crunching numbers on what teams may be able to piece together. But, we don't really know what they're asking either.
Washington, Murphy, and Adams are dudes. I also really like Sides, maybe not quite as much as Hirschkorn but I like the projection for Sides alot. Nothing against the rest.
