Gavin Fien: round 1, pick 12 (Rangers), pick value $5.75M

Kayson Cunningham: round 1, pick 18 (Diamondbacks), pick value $4.58M

Texas made it through the first three rounds without any surprises or additional damage. Pick (4th round - 106) value is now somewhere around $721,000.

Only other Texas player/commit drafted thus far was Max Belyeu at 74 in the Competitive Balance Round B (CB-B, between the second and third rounds) and will reunite with Jared Thomas in the Rockies' org. Pick value was $1.11M. Too bad he was injured this season or he would have gone higher. 

That's surprisingly low; the mocks I saw had him in the 40-50 range.  Too bad he didn't land in the multi-millionaires club.

Moroknek was just taken in the 11th round. Probably not great news. 

By the Nationals too, who likely agreed to a way under slot deal with their 1.1 pick.

I don't agree with this. Texas did not recruit Tinney over Galvan. They went and got Tinney because they needed a guy to replace a departing Galvan. They were two of three finalists for the Buster Posey Award, which Bodine (CCU) won. There was no "recruiting over."

@Js1, @Hookem2147, and myself are well aware of the state of Texas' current roster. We're merely speculating if this unexpected uncertainty potentially allows for the unforeseen circumstance of Galvan returning to Texas to occur. Nevertheless, I'd imagine we're all on the same page as you that it is unlikely, for a number of reasons. However, Texas doesn't have a qualified backup catcher on the roster after Tinney, which makes a conversation about platooning C/DH for the two more likely given Galvan's fall in the draft.

Parsing language here. Key point is they aren't going to need Galvan as they have Tinney now. Can't see him wanting to platoon but you never know. Either way Texas is in good spot.

How is Dotson draft eligible? He’s only 2 years out of hs? Thought you had to stay 3?

He is 21 so he is eligible.

#1510
How likely is Galvan to be able to improve his draft value with a good season, being a year older and out of eligibility next time?
feels to me like it’s time for him to start his pro career and see how it goes. 

I know when my brother played baseball, we talked about that. He said that most people would get drafted lower after their eligibility runs out because they don’t have the leverage of going back to school.

It does seem like he just randomly gets 4 commits one weekend from some top prospects.

Why are baseball recruits rankings not announced when their commitment is made? When football happens it’s always, “the 10th player in the state of California and 45th overall…..”, baseball it’s usually just “one of the top” which is very broad. Is that because there’s not a website that’s that well known or reliable or is it just that specific twitter account isnt using rankings? I swear I’ve seen commitments from other accounts too and they seem to rarely have rankings.

Baseball recruiting confuses me because while it's great to get great players, how many will ever step on campus even with NIL? Was Rodriguez an MLB prospect coming out of HS? It seems like very, very few actually do unless they head to LSU.

Getting a verbal commitment from an elite baseball prospect is often like coaxing the homecoming queen into signing your yearbook before she vanishes forever. 

#1549

It's more like convincing her to wear your letter jacket for an afternoon before her 23 year old boyfriend picks her up in his Camaro. Frustrating, but she signaled to the lesser females that you are indeed fuckworthy and it'll pay off at some point
