More current in game power LHB, but scouts believe more raw power RHB. Haven't seen that he's only going to hit LHB.
I believe that's done intentionally. He spends on hitting because the value is retained in the prospect. There is less of a concern the prospect will suffer a devastating injury in the near future. Can use the prospect capital in the future for a trade. Lots of volatility with pitching, just look at Drohan this year.
Matt Duffy P Canisius College - unranked on most services, pitched for the Bourne Braves, he's Canadian, will be underslot

I agree with this, but my point was about "high floor" pitchers.

Connelly Early P - Virginia
Comp Picks - Kristian Campbell GA Tech SS, Justin Riemer Wright State SS

Riemer is a high OBP guy like Miedroth who doesn't k at all. If he didn't hurt his ACL, probably goes much higher in the draft.
Campbell is a plus runner with elite contact rate. Probably is moved to the OF.
To continue the streak of exciting SS and uninteresting P:
6th Round:
CJ Weins Western KY P, reliever that transferred from South Carolina
Duffy was the highest Canisius pick in the program's history.
Duffy and Early are pitchability guys. Definitely the "high floor" that we were talking about.
Weins is a FB/SL reliever who's velo ticked up a little last year, but isn't a triple digit guy.
Kiley McDaniel on the Sox draft
Boston had some nice fortune as New Jersey prep product Virginia C Kyle Teel (7) made it to the Red Sox's 14th overall pick. He's an above-average defender who can easily stick behind the plate, and while I think his hand placement/path needs a tweak in pro ball, the tools are there for solid-average offensive output.
The Red Sox have been leaning more into prep position players with upside in recent years, and Nazzan Zanetello (64), Antonio Anderson (72) and Phoenix Call (275) fit that profile this year. Zanetello was one of the best athletic testers in this class, not just for his foot and bat speed, but also how explosive he is and how he can create such bat speed with limited hand movement. He'll need more polish but has an impact upside. Anderson is a switch-hitting potential shortstop with a balanced hit/power combo with every tool average to above. Call is a plus-plus runner with some questions on his polish and hit tool.
Georgia Tech 2B Kristian Campbell (186) is an above-average runner with contact skills but will also need a swing adjustment to tap into his raw power. Wright State SS Justin Riemer (119) could be a find as a mid-major pick to click who missed most of the season with a torn ACL. Canisius RHP Matt Duffy (274) has nice command and the shape of a solid-average arsenal. Virginia LHP Connelly Early (NR) should have been in my rankings and was in Rounds 5-6 in my notes with a good feel of average stuff. Clemson lefty reliever Ryan Ammons (NR) has an above-average fastball with good shape and enough feel to be a middle reliever.
