Normally this type of back end starter/bullpen arm would be a Tier None player, but given the strength of his changeup and his willingness to deploy it any time anywhere, he gets pushed into the bottom of Tier 3. This will include autos from the Black and White RayWave subset, a 1/1 offering.

And the outside chance that he is a two way player not of the Brendan McKay failed experiment but more of an Ohtani-lite is probably something to be cognizant of. But for now, he's a pitchability backend starter with a safe floor and not a ton of ceiling, which is a standard Tier None call. Tommy Mace - RHP (Guardians, 1st Base and Auto, 69/42) - You take a look at Tommy Mace getting off the bus and you think "this is a big league starter". His left-handed swing looks more geared towards power as he tends to load up more while his right-handed swing looks to put the bat on the ball more. He will likely get double-digit steals even with a shorter, stouter build.

Combine all of this with his high draft stock and it's an easy Tier 2 call making him my top pitcher in the product. His Bowman cards only list him as a pitcher as well. But also not great because that changeup or curveball need to show up to reach his potential as a front-line rotation guy which is definitely in the cards. It looks like an uncomfortable at-bat no matter which side of the plate you are on. With that in mind, I am somewhat discounting the prep catcher penalty. But given his size - 6'4" 225 pounds as a teenager - he should have enough natural power to not need to sell out for it as he matures. Was lacking a lot of command and control in some looks, at others he was a zone pounder. The right-hander was a starter in college with a mid-90's fastball that can top out close to 99 and three secondaries with the slider being the best of them followed by a curveball. A pitchability righty with a bucket of average offerings starting with a low 90s fastball and a slider, curveball, and changeup as his secondaries.

A low floor super high ceiling bat that for me is a Tier 3 guy currently that should be watched closely to see if he does turn those long levers into an every day power hitter role. Super high ceiling and super low floor. Should be able to stick at the position given that arm strength along with good athleticism and size. His floor is a high leverage relief arm with an outside shot at a backend rotation guy, but that will take some refinement to get there. Hopefully, Painter doesn't snatch the ball away from me at the last moment and make me regret putting him up this high. Will also throw an average changeup now that he's starting that shows nice arm-side fade when it's on. It is the gold standard and what I am going to focus on as the main attraction. Kiper's updated rankings of the top 25 prospects in the 2023 draft class has Murphy ranked as the No. Bottom half of Tier 3 guy for me but if he can't get to that 20 home run number, the hit tool gets even more pressure to keep him in Tier 3 and he could easily slide into Tier None.

Tier 2 - Bats that may lack in a certain area such as top-end power, three true outcomes players, maybe great real life/fantasy players, but not hobby-elite, or tantalizing raw talents. If he continues to produce as he faces stiffer and stiffer competition, I will be ready to push him up to Tier 2. John Rhodes - OF (Orioles, 1st Base only, 76/125) - Corner outfield profile that was a draft eligible sophomore out of Kentucky. He's got an inverted front leg batting stance that just looks uncomfortable and I wonder over time if that has to be adjusted simply due to the wear and tear on catcher's knees and ankles. JT Schwartz - 1B (Mets, 1st Base only, 111/232) - Mets 4th round first baseman out of UCLA was a sought after prep but stuck with his college commitment. Slider and changeup alternate between being the more effective secondary to get those desired swings and misses and he'll throw an occasional show me 12-6 curveball. He also should work on not throwing the pitch into Jace Jung's wheelhouse - Holy Moly. Below is my breakdown of each player that should have a 1st logo in 2021 Bowman Draft given the checklist released by Topps. Look for 1 autograph per box! A floor of high leverage relief to a ceiling of a two double plus pitches SP2/SP3 is enticing to slide into the bottom of Tier 2, but I will try and contain my exuberance for what I saw and put him at the top half of Tier 3. The right side of the plate was more promising as he seemed to have a more natural, hit over power swing. His main secondary that I saw him throwing was a curveball followed by a tight slider. A lefty prep shortstop out of Maryland, he has that classic left-handed swing geared for the lower quadrant of the zone. Landon Marceaux - RHP (Angels, 1st Base and Auto, 80/136) - Angels 3rd round right-hander out of LSU is a classic backend SP profile. Most of the Futures Game stars have. . Ben Casparius - RHP (Dodgers, 1st Auto only, 162/187) - Solid back-end rotation guy. He's a top Tier 3 guy that I am going to watch closely to see if he can develop the hit tool to match the power and vault into Tier 2. This label is reserved for the cream of the crop. Jordan Lawlar - SS (Diamondbacks, 1st Base and Auto, 6/2) - The 6th overall pick in the draft had been at play for the top overall pick for quite some time. Sometimes the statline and the fact that he just regularly bangs the ball all over the field speaks louder than tool grades. Bat speed galore from the left-handed side and plus power will be his calling card. Most evaluators believe he doesn't stick behind the plate as his receiving skills are not up to par but he does have the arm strength to gun down runners. Williams turned out to be a pretty strong swimmer as he went from an interesting relief arm to a dominant ace in his senior season at East Carolina. He should have no problem sticking in centerfield even when he likely adds more muscle and mass to his slender 6'4" frame. Plus speed and an above-average hit tool at the moment. I've seen some higher on Kudrna than Mozzicato and I wouldn't argue too much against it, but I'd rather bet on the lefty over the righty. Without it, he has significant reliever risk. Let's Talk Wax 7.4K subscribers Subscribe 11K views 1 year ago The 2021 Bowman Draft. Another player to keep an eye on. I like this profile a lot for the hobby and I'm going to go with my gut and put him at the bottom half of Tier 2 even though my head tells me he is more of a top of Tier 3 player with the lack of walks and strikeout tendency. Hit tool may only be above average at peak depending on how much he focuses on power over hit. His fastball is often in the upper half of the zone, which is great for setting up his off-speed, but it lacks top end velocity and deception, which can lead to the pitch being hittable.
