Has to be another Ohtani in this crop of draft picks

[Angel Oracle]

Is this a MLB first?

A team’s first 9 picks all college pitchers?

Can't that be said about every team's draft?

yes.  about the couple years thing.  

But we are taking a different approach that usual for sure.  I hope it works.  I have no idea if it's right or wrong.  just different.  seemingly.   and again, I don't know that for sure.

Slegers, Claudio, and Cishek are all quaking in their boots.

Select a college pitcher, and only a college pitcher, apparently. 

[Lou]

Looks like we had an SEC scout. 

[Angelsfan1984]

Looks like miniasian just traded for 10 relievers for cash considerations. 

[East Coast Bias]

Looks like Perry's computer is stuck on autodraft, someone better let him know.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have selected all pitchers with their 8 picks so far today (only 2 being high schoolers with their first 2 picks). The San Francisco Giants have taken 9 straight college pitchers with their first 9 picks with the exception of taking a college outfielder just now in the 10th round.

So we're still unique?

[Angel Oracle]

Is this the in thing now in MLB (drafting lots of college pitchers)?

[Angel Oracle]

At least they have a good catching prospect in AZ (Edgar Quero), albeit it some 4+ years away.

[Angel Oracle]

Also, Adrian DelCastillo really fell.

From top 10 projection to pick #67

Dodgers just took a college pitcher with their 10th round pick

So the Dodgers took all pitchers with their 9 picks (2 high schoolers)

The Giants took 9 collegiate pitchers with their first 9 and then went college outfielder for their final pick of Day 2
