Scouting the 2023 Draft: Three High School Pitchers

 Noble Meyer RHP.  DOB:  1/10/2005.  6'5", 185 lbs.

Charlee Soto RHP.  DOB:  8/31/2005.  6'5", 210 lbs.

Thomas White LHP.  DOB:  9/29/2004.  6'5", 210 lbs.  

Like three peas in a pod as the saying goes.  Very similar scouting reports:  Mid-upper 90's FB, two solid secondary pitches.  All three ranked close together in middle of first round by multiple draft sites.  Soto is the youngest, White is lefthanded.  To my eye, Meyer has the easiest delivery and the biggest physical upside.  White's herky jerky motion reminiscent of RJ and Chris Sale(Doesn't mean he's going to be as good as either of them.  Just trying to describe the delivery).  Gotta say in two different videos, Soto appeared to have a nice late-sink FB but couldn't seem to throw a strike with it, even in warmups, to save his life.  HS pitchers are generally considered the riskiest demographic but the Giants have had as much or more success with drafting HS pitchers as any.  If the top tier of college players and HS hitter is gone by the the Giants #16 pick, I would not be disappointed with any of these kids.  If all 3 are still on the board, I would take Meyer with White a close second.
