UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - LHP - Hunter Owen

3-3-23 - Keith Law’s MLB Draft 2023 Rankings: -

#27 Hunter Owen, LHP, Vanderbilt

This might be getting ahead of things a bit, but if I told you there was a 6-6, 240-pound lefty starter, who’s up to 97 with a plus CB and has a history of throwing strikes, and who pitches for Vanderbilt, you’re interested, right? That guy does often go in the first round or the supplemental, and if Owen, who has made two starts this year after making just one total in his first two years in Nashville, keeps this up and shows the kind of control he did last spring, he’ll get up into the top 25-40 picks.

Hunter Owen

Vanderbilt

Hunter Owen is an electric southpaw with upper-90s stuff, though he more comfortably rests a few ticks lower than that. The arm talent is really substantial, especially considering Owen's handedness. Many scouts believe Owen may be one of the premier strikeout artists in the class. Folks want to see him stretched out a bit more, going longer outings as he works his way toward pro ball. He flashes a really good curveball that's flashed promise, as well as a changeup that possesses a hellish tunnel off his fastball. It's still a pretty raw profile, but the upside here is big.

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - OF - Elijah Nunez

  Elijah Nunez OF                TCU   2-19-23 - D1 - Week 1 - Saturday  - OF Elijah Nunez  is one of college baseball’s most exciting players … He already had one of the best eyes in college baseball at the plate. Now, he’s off to a red-hot start to begin the 2023 campaign, and that’s a big development for the Frogs. Nunez was the emotional leader for the Frogs in the rout over Arkansas. In addition to having a couple of hits for the Frogs, he pressed the issue with his speed, and also finished the night with a pair of walks. Nunez is a do-it-all player, and he’s a strong defender to go with his offensive attributes.   1-19-23 - Top 25 Breakdown: No. 15 TCU https://d1baseball.com/season-preview/top-25-breakdown-no-15-tcu/ Glue Guy: OF Elijah Nunez . Good things typically happen when Nunez finds his way on base. The talented junior slugger is a pure lefthanded hitter who has an excellent eye at the plate. Proof? He finished last season with a whopping 58 walks. He also showed

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - SS - Marcus Brown

  Marcus Brown SS Oklahoma State   2-22-23 - Opening Weekend  - Marcus Brown , SS, Oklahoma State– Brown came into his own as a sophomore at OSU last spring, hitting .316/.378/.441 with 15 doubles as a catalyst for the Cowboys. He then took his lumps last summer in the Cape, hitting .236 with 31 strikeouts against 10 walks. He started the 2023 season 1-for-9 with four strikeouts at the Showdown. At 5-foot-11, 190 pounds he’s a strong, quick-twitch athlete with decent bat speed, but his swing has some length, and he continues to be a bit pull-happy in our looks. Brown is a good runner who is aggressive on the basepaths, and he has adequate range and an average arm with a quick release that plays at shortstop at this level, though he likely profiles better at second base in pro ball. At this point, I see Brown as a very solid college player, yet one who projects as a mid-to-later Day Two pick instead of the one who has received Day One hype elsewhere this preseason. 2-6-23 - Prospect
