Rookie:  .213/.245/.277, 47 AB.

Rough introduction to pro ball for Albertson who abused his small college opposition with a .400+ BA.    SSS.  Grade D.

Love the pick.  I think Zeigler has a very intriguing upside.  Good showing in rookie ball, not age inappropriate.  Grade B.

Ruotolo seems to have early dibs on the Closer Track.  A bit on the wild side, but gotta love the K's.  Grade B+.

  1. Great summaries Doc!

    I like this Nick Deeg guy. He did get hit, but he also missed bats - very nice K/BB ratio and K overall. There was a lot of chatter of top 5 rounds after some good Cape Cod action. He started overthrowing after getting his velocity up... If he can add strength to go with the command, could be very intriguing.

    Sorry I haven't commented much. Still reading though! Keep it up, not that you need that encouragement.
