| 4/28/22 | Collegiate Corner: April 28. We've come a long way from the 2020 college pitching class that featured Max Meyer, Asa Lacy, Emerson Hancock, Reid Detmers, Garrett Crochet, Bryce Jarvis, Cade Cavalli, Jared Shuster, Bobby Miller... the list is as long as Mandred's balls are deformed and unpredictable. Think of the 2020 class as Max Scherzer and the 2022 pitching crop as Patrick Corbin. Collegiate hurlers continue to go down with the injury bug, as yet another first-round talent has hit the shelf since the last Collegiate Corner update. In MLB Pipeline's latest mock, only one college pitcher is projected in the first 26 picks -- the recently-recovered Blade Tidwell out of Tennessee. For comparison, eight college arms went in the top 26 selections in both the 2020 and 2021 MLB Drafts. Safe to say, dynasty managers should be looking at this year's crop and strategizing far differently for first-year player drafts compared to the last two seasons. Personally, I recommend placing a pair of old boxer shorts over your head and pecking at the keyboard with your elbows to make each selection. Truthfully, there's a lot to like about the bats at the top of the class and a plethora of value options on the hill later on. We'll discuss a handful of those hitters today in addition to touching base on the health of the pitching class. Source: https://razzball.com/collegiate-corner-april-28/... |
| 3/03/22 | Prospect Faceoff: Asa Lacy vs. Emerson Hancock. On June 10, 2020, Texas A&M left-hander Asa Lacy was drafted fourth overall by the Kansas City Royals and Georgia right-hander Emerson Hancock went sixth overall t0 the Seattle Mariners. 12 college starting pitchers went in the first round that year including the competitive balance picks (first-37 selections). If we were to redraft today, most would still take Minnesota right-hander Max Meyer as the first collegiate arm off the board, but there's a good chance Lacy and Hancock would be drafted after the likes of Reid Detmers and Cade Cavalli -- possibly even Garrett Crochet. If you ask me, Tanner Burns is the sleeper name to know from the tail-end of the 2020 first round, and someone I hold in just as high of a regard as Lacy and Hancock. But we're here today to discuss the second and third college hurlers selected back in 2020, and how their stock has shifted since that memorable day.

| 2/24/22 | How former top draft pick Asa Lacy has adapted early in his Kansas City Royals career. I definitely didn’t see things going the way they have been, but looking back on things I’m grateful for the way things have gone,” Lacy said shortly after having done a conditioning test at the Royals’ facility in Surprise, Arizona. I’ve learned a lot about myself in the process. Just where I’m at right now, physically and mentally, I’m in a great spot. Source: https://www.kansas.com/sports/mlb/kansas-city-roya... |

| 9/12/20 | Royals rookie to make first start against Pirates. The Kansas City Royals invested heavily in young arms in the 2018 draft, taking four college pitchers in the first 40 picks. They added the consensus best college pitcher available in the 2020 draft, taking Asa Lacy from Texas A&M with the fourth overall selection. But when the Royals send Carlos Hernandez to the mound against the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday for his first major league start, they’ll be going outside their prized quintet.
