The Grind Collective: Draft and Follow

Will, Daniel and Johnny are back with a new episode of the Grind Collective! The guys discuss the start of the MLB season, going over hot and cold starts for teams in the league and analyzing how much the first few weeks mean in a 162 game season. Then it's time to transition over to the main topic--the MLB Draft. There's been a lot of changes to how teams approach the draft since the new decade has halved the number of rounds from 40 to 20, and we discuss how those approaches have trickled down to the prep, JUCO, and 4 year college levels. This episode was free flowing and loose, with a lot of great insights and off the cuff observations. Press play and enjoy!The Grind Collective is an ongoing discussion about the game of baseball from three people that are in the thick of it. Join amateur scouting writer Will Hoefer (Prospects Live), analytics staffer Daniel Garcia (Prospects Live, Virginia Baseball Analytics) and right handed pitcher Johnny Davis (Prospects Live, Assumption Baseball) as they discuss their on-going interactions with the game of baseball during “the grind.” Additionally, each episode will have a main topic related to the game of baseball.
