With the 37th pick of the 2025 MLB
0:05
draft, the Baltimore Orioles select
0:07
Slater Debrun, an outfielder from Summit
0:11
High School in Bend, Oregon.
0:14
The New York Mets had the next pick.
0:16
Oh, Lil Slay, you love to see it.
0:19
Representing Oregon with everything that
0:21
he has. This guy absolutely shot up the
0:23
rankings over this last year. His head
0:25
coach said, "If you wanted to have the
0:27
best pitcher, bunner, hitter, base
0:29
runner, I've never before been able to
0:31
tell you it's all one guy." That's what
0:33
Slater has been so far this season.
0:36
Yeah, Slater is a top of the oral table
0:38
setting profile, above average hit tool.
0:40
He's a dynamic runner. He's a double
0:42
plus runner. There's no doubt for me
0:43
that he's going to stick in center field
0:45
and be a strong defender there. We have
0:46
got great grades on him on all the
0:48
supplemental tools. We believe in the
0:50
contact skills for him as a hitter. I
0:52
guess the big question with Slater is
0:53
how much power is he going to hit for?
0:54
He's not the biggest guy in the world.
0:56
We've got below average power grades on
0:58
him, but with all the other above
0:59
average tools and plus tools I see here,
1:01
I think he can impact the game in a lot
1:02
of different ways. It's interesting. I
1:04
want to throw in here real quick. I
1:06
think that's who the Nationals were
1:07
looking at with their second round pick
1:09
after saving money with Eli Willis with
1:10
the first pick. So, now we'll see what
1:12
happens. Washington may have to pivot
1:14
It's finally time to start seeing some
1:15
of that. We thought we'd see it a lot
1:17
earlier. And by the way, Greg, he's
1:18
already on Spotify. He is dropping
1:21
singles. So, this is a two-way guy in
1:23
more ways than one. I
1:25
I got to investigate that.
1:27
that's fascinating. Yes, Little Slay.
