On this week’s Future Projection, Ben Badler and Carlos Collazo talk about how the top of the composition of the 2025 draft class compares with 2024 before discussing Coby Mayo’s comments about being reassigned to Triple-A Norfolk for what will be his third year at the level.
The bulk of the show, however, is spent on a discussion about “scouting the scouts.” What’s the value? What are the risks associated with it forming or changing your own opinions on players? The show wraps with a listener question regarding technology’s impact on scouting.
