He isn't looking at home plate the entire way, leading to control problems.  Hopefully he works on that.

22 rounds- 16 pitchers!   They're gonna need to draft some extra catchers , so these guys have someone to throw to.

Just noticing that, and thinking at some point that they are going to start needing to draft some specific positions, such as catcher, just to round out the teams.
