I'm going with Hobgood

He already has (arguably) a plus fastball and plus curveball. For those of you who havent seen his curveball you should look up some video, its nasty. He has a big frame which should allow him to rack up the innings. He could advance pretty quickly and his velocity drop at Bluefield does not concern me.

I expect Mickolio to get a lot of votes here but I like Hobgood’s upside.

should be a landslide i would think

Even if people hate prep pitchers

I like Hobgood too

I’m hoping that even with a slight overdraft that the Os know what they’re doing. I also like that without his velocity he was able to get some good groundballs in limited time.
I expect the next two on our community prospect list will be Mickolio and Caleb

agreed

After Mickolio and Caleb, we just have the toolsy guys, who are good to have but its too far out to really predict anything. Although i guess you could classify hobgood that same way, but i think his tools warrent a higher ranking.
