0:02
I think I can say confidently we are all
0:04
extremely happy that Kasein Cunningham
0:06
is a Diamondback. Yes. Um I got my steps
0:08
in today. I guess I'll say say at that
0:10
pace pace in there waiting for that one.
0:12
So yes, we are we are extremely happy
0:15
that he got to our pick and it couldn't
0:16
be more thrill. I mean the kid, the
0:18
family, the baseball player, it's all
0:20
it's all awesome and bringing him into
0:22
this organization is I think it speaks
0:23
to the the quality of pitcher that
0:26
Patrick Forbes is. You know, I think I
0:28
say it every year. we line them up and
0:29
we see how they fall, right? Um, and
0:31
we're happy both like all three of these
0:32
guys fell where they did. Um, but I
0:34
think the quality of the pitcher and the
0:36
upside you're getting here of, you know,
0:39
someone that struck out a ton of hitters
0:42
in the in the ACC and like I said, had
0:44
average walk rates. He's super athletic
0:46
and I think that pitch mix had a chance
0:48
to be really really good. And he's got,
0:50
you know, that power fastball that gets
0:52
a ton of swing and miss. He's got those
0:53
two breaking balls. Like he just he's
0:55
got four pitches that can miss bats and
0:56
he's supreme athlete. I think that like
0:58
the upside of him at that pick makes him
1:01
very very interesting. And then in the
1:03
third round, we took Brian Curley. Um
1:06
another SEC starter out of the
1:08
University of Georgia. Um this was
1:11
someone that actually, you know, pitched
1:13
a little bit out of the bullpen, but
1:14
then, you know, for the majority of this
1:16
year was a starter and then logged, you
1:18
know, five, six innings and outing. He's
1:20
another one. He's got a big arm. It's a
1:22
carry fast ball. He's up to 100. He's
1:24
got a power breaking ball. Um, we think
1:26
he's a starter as well. He's thrown
1:28
strikes, he performed, he punched dudes
1:30
out in in the SEC. And I think for him
1:32
it was very that very much that SEC
1:35
performance, you know, being a Virginia
1:36
Commonwealth and transferring to the SEC
1:38
and having success in what we feel is
1:41
the best um league in college baseball,
1:44
pitching on Friday nights. Um, pretty
