With the 42nd pick of the 2025 MLB
0:04
draft, the Tampa Bay Rays select Brendan
0:07
Summerhill, an outfielder from the
0:10
University of Arizona.
0:13
The Miami Marlins have the next pick.
0:16
All right, Harold. Not a ton of power.
0:18
He hit over 340 this year, but just four
0:20
home runs. Does that concern you at all
0:22
with this pick? Well, it concerns me if
0:24
he's going to be in the outfield because
0:25
we're playing such a power game, but he
0:28
does do some things that that are elite.
0:30
He'll run. He'll slash the ball like
0:32
that right there. And and the more I'm
0:34
talking myself into it, I think the
0:36
power is going to come a little bit
0:37
better than what he had in college cuz
0:39
he's got the height 63, 195. I think
0:42
when he gets with some certain teams,
0:44
they'll change the arc on his swing a
0:46
little bit and you'll get a little more
0:47
power. He looks like the guys when you
0:49
turn on the TV and watch Major League
0:51
Baseball, he looks like one of those
0:52
guys. And I think he's going to develop
0:54
into being a stronger, more physical kid
0:56
because of his frame. And like you said,
0:58
maybe the power comes. I think he's slid
1:01
a little bit for whatever reason. We
1:02
faced him earlier in the year and again
1:04
it was like this is what a firstrounder
1:06
looks like and that's what he was
1:07
Brandon NMO, right? You know what?
1:10
It's not bad. I mean,
1:12
Looking at Callus and Mayo's,
1:14
they had him at the 16th overall
1:17
I mean, you talk about getting value for
1:19
the Rays. They got Summer Hill and
1:22
Daniel Pierce in the first round.
1:23
I think he was a misunderstood kid and
1:25
and a great teammate. I know one of his
1:27
coaches from Arizona is at his house
1:29
because he wanted to be next to him
1:31
whenever he did get picked. So, um I
1:33
think they might might have got a steal
1:35
here or got a little more value for what
1:37
maybe you normally would say about the
1:39
Yeah. Jake McCarthy, another name thrown
1:41
out there as a comp of the Arizona
1:44
Yeah. Does that make more sense than
1:45
Brandon Nmo? What do you think?
1:46
He's got a swing similar to NMOV than he
1:49
does Brandon McCarthy. The where he
1:50
keeps his hands are not that connected
1:52
to the core of his body. I think that's
1:54
part of a reason he doesn't profile in
1:56
power right now. The power's got to
1:58
come. If not, he's probably an excellent
2:00
fourth outfielder uh on a championship
2:03
type team. Rays do a really good job
2:04
developing. They don't rush guys. Harold
2:07
um take their time in developing their
2:09
guys because they have such depth at the
2:11
Well, also the other thing we're not
2:12
look we're looking at this in reverse as
2:15
well. Like maybe they work he had a
2:17
number that he wanted to get to and
2:19
teams passed on it and he's going to get
2:21
that number with Tampa, you know.
