With the NFL Combine taking place last week, hosts Geoff Pontes and Matt Pajak welcome on Brian Hawkins, the scouting director of NextGen Prospect. Brian uses advanced data and measurements to identify amateur football prospects, and there are some interesting parallels to baseball. We discuss why the 40-yard dash is antiquated and the types of measurements teams are now factoring into evaluation.

Jordan Beck Called Up By Rockies | BA Prospect Profiles

According to a report from Jon Morosi, the Brewers are set to call prospect Tyler Black to the big leagues. Black currently ranks No. 73 on the Top 100 and earns high marks for his hittability and speed, though his ultimate defensive home is questionable and his power might only be fringe-average once he reaches his peak. The 23-year-old lefty swinger has five home runs this season at Triple-A Nashville.
