4th rd #124 Jacob Watters West Virginia (WV) RHP 4YR JR 6' 4" 230lbs DOB:03/03/01 BA National Rank:134 Signed for/Slot money: $0.49175M/$0.4835M MLB.com: https://www.mlb.com/prospects/draft/jacob-watters-802138 Scouting Grades/Report (20-80 grading scale) Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 60 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 40 | Overall: 45 Watters spent his first two seasons at West Virginia pitching almost exclusively out of the bullpen and he even closed some games in 2021, showing off high-octane stuff with very little idea of how to throw it for strikes. He began his junior season this spring as a reliever, but got the chance to start in March and has been part of the Mountaineers' weekend rotation. He’s shown enough stuff, especially in a 15-strikeout performance against Texas, to substantially raise his profile. The 6-foot-4 Watters has the chance to have two offerings that are at least plus pitches. His fastball has been up to 99 mph as a starter this spring, averaging close to 96 mph, and he can touch triple digits in shorter relief stints. He complements the heater with a true 12-to-6 power curve thrown in the mid-80s, that can miss a ton of bats. He does have some feel for a mid-80s changeup, but it’s well behind the two other offerings. For Watters to be able to have a chance at starting at the next level, he’s going to have to continue improving his command. He has gotten better at finding the strike zone after walking 10.7 per nine in 2021. In all likelihood, he’ll end up back in the bullpen, where he could have an 80 fastball to go along with a 65 or 70 curve.

He struggled badly with walks during his draft year in Morgantown, but it was his first season as a starter, and he had only thrown about 34 innings prior to 2022. He's likely a relief-only prospect, but he has two plus pitches. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/page.asp?PT=player&ID=225224 age W L ERA G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO 2020 West Virginia Big12 19 0 0 4.70 5 0 7.2 6 4 4 0 6 11 2021 West Virginia Big12 20 4 1 3.33 19 1 27.0 15 11 10 0 32 53 2022 West Virginia Big12 21 3 7 6.22 18 11 59.1 64 44 41 8 41 75 ---------- 5th rd #154 Jack Perkins Indiana (IN) RHP 4YR SR 6' 1" 220lbs DOB:12/26/99 BA National Rank:281 Signed for/Slot money: $0.27075M/$0.361M BA: https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2022-mlb-draft-top-prospects/ Perfectgame: https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=457969 TheAthletic: https://theathletic.com/3436370/2022/07/20/oakland-athletics-2022-draft-scouting-reports/ AthleticsNation: https://www.athleticsnation.com/2022/7/18/23268904/mlb-draft-2022-day-two-oakland-as Kubota: https://athleticsfarm.com/2022/08/03/scouting-director-eric-kubota-offers-the-inside-scoop-on-as-2022-draft-picks/ https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/215879/ age W L ERA G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO 2019 Louisville ACC 19 3 0 4.18 16 4 32.1 24 20 15 2 18 37 2021 Louisville ACC 21 1 1 7.31 11 1 16.0 13 18 13 0 22 15 2022 Indiana Big10 22 3 4 5.10 16 15 83.0 77 56 47 6 47 91 ---------- 6th rd #184 Brennan Milone Oregon (OR) 3B R/R 4YR JR 6' 1" 198lbs DOB:05/06/01 BA National Rank:452 Signed for/Slot money: $0.2M/$0.2773M MLB.com: Milone was a top 100 prospect in high school for the 2019 Draft but didn't get drafted until Round 28 with a strong commitment to South Carolina that he fulfilled. But after struggling in 2020 and '21, he moved across the country to Oregon and found some offensive consistency, hitting .337/.405/.545 with 12 homers for the Ducks this past spring, though he struggled for a second straight summer in the Cape Cod League. The right-handed hitter does have some solid bat-to-ball skills and some pop, particularly to his pull side, but where he can play defensively is very much in question, with some seeing a future as a designated hitter.
