2021 MLB Draft Tigers Picks: Draft Jackson Jobe 1.3.

Mitchrapp said:
So many good starters in the ML only had 2 good pitches to start. 18 years or 22 year olds generally don't have 3 good pitches. For example Jobe's curveball not quite there yet. But he's young and has lots of time.

It's true that many pitchers only have 2 good pitches when drafted.

Jobe's curve may not be there yet, but that's his 4th pitch.

Scouting report grades (MLB.com 20-80 grading scale)
Jobe
Fastball 60
Slider 70
Change 60
curve 55

Madden
Fastball 60
Slider 60
change 55
curve 50

For comparison
Leiter
Fastball 70
Slider 55
Change 55
Curve 60
 
Maybe I was wrong on Jobe..

20: As bad as it gets for a big leaguer. Think Billy Hamilton?s power.
30: Poor, but not unplayable, such as Edwin Encarnacion?s speed.
40: Below-average, such as Eloy Jimenez?s defense, or Trevor Bauer?s control.
45: Fringe-average. Reynaldo Lopez?s control and Kurt Suzuki?s arm qualify.
50: Major league average. Juan Soto?s speed.
55: Above-average. Nick Castellanos? power.
60: Plus. Alex Bregman?s speed or Stephen Strasburg?s control.
70: Plus-Plus. Among the best tools in the game, such as Corey Seager?s arm, Patrick Corbin?s slider or
Francisco Lindor?s defense.
80: Top of the scale. Some scouts consider only one player?s tool in all of the major leagues to be 80.
Think of Aaron Judge?s power, Byron Buxton?s speed or Aroldis Chapman?s fastball.

Now I wonder are the grades based on now or future potential.

I think it may be a grade on "talent level" at the time graded. I'm sure Leiter's fastball wasn't graded as a 70 when he came out of high school.

This is the only thing I found on him when he was a 19 year old coming out of high school.

With the help of his father, Leiter has become a 19-year-old ace with a mid-90's fastball, a lethal curveball and a solid slider that has enabled him to dominate the competition. In 2019, Leiter put together a 0.84 ERA with 73 strikeouts through 43 innings for Delbarton High School. He even missed out on a chance at a perfect game during the season, but settled for a 14-strikeout outing instead. Leiter has one of the more advanced approaches of all the high school pitchers, as he carries himself like a college pitcher. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound prep arm has even drawn comparisons to Mike Leake in terms of his pitching polish and frame.

Most of the people on this board would have, that's for sure.

Statistically, a high % of drafted players won't work out to more than anything but MILB players.....but I think you need a solid mix of both offense and pitching in a draft.....otherwise you end up with a MILB system like we currently have......pitcher heavy but offensively lacking at a LOT of positions.
