After a Carlos-caused week-long hiatus, the draft team gets back on the podcast to talk about the state of the 1-1 race in the 2024 class. Peter makes his best case for Oregon State second baseman Travis Bazzana as most of the draft world falls further in love with Charlie Condon—but is Bazzana 1-1 as hot a take as you think? The two dig into their numbers a bit more and explore Condon’s unusual home/road splits and also get into a conversation about the importance of makeup. Peter wonders if Texas A&M; outfielder Braden Montgomery would have a 1-1 case in any other year and the two then talk about whether or not Montgomery should keep switch hitting at the next level.  After the top-of-the-class conversation dies down, the two move into a discussion about other players making moves (and not always up) on the draft board including Kentucky outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt, Bucknell third baseman Sean Keys, Austin Peay infielder and outfielder Jon Jon Gazdar, TCU shortstop Anthony Silva and Texas A&M; lefthander Ryan Prager. – Time Stamps (2:30) Charlie Condon & Travis Bazzana heaters (6:30) Travis Bazzana track record (9:00) The importance of makeup (12:30) Charlie Condon home/road splits (17:30) Does Braden Mongtomery fit into the convo?

Digging Deeper Into The 1-1 Debate

The 90th Percentile returns with Geoff and Matt diving into the topic of amateur collectibles and the new rules in the name, image and likeness environment. With Britt Ghiroli's recent article on The Athletic discussing Perfect Game's recent merchandising deal with Fanatics, it's a hot topic of discussion. We discuss the economics of the merchandise industry, the history of amateur players signing merchandise agreements and its evolution over the last decade-plus. We also touch on the supply and demand of autographed merchandise.
