Literally the first sentence on Barriera’s scouting report for Fangraphs

“Barriera looks like a slightly shorter Ricky Tiedemann at the same age.”
 
Never heard of the guy, honestly don't know many names at all, but mid-upper 90s as a lefty in HS? Sign me up.
 
This is the perfect pick with our development staff and complex. He could actually be one of the top arms drafted.

he was ranked teens. most thought he would be gone by mid to early teens. but geographically its perfect for us we have our spring training center in florida and such, manoah and bichette off season training in the general location could rocket through the minors ala manoah as well
 
Unsurprisingly, expectation is he’ll sign for a lot overslot. Makes me wonder whether they will target some quick moving possible bullpen pieces with their second round picks to save money.
 
Curious if the signing over slot rumours is because he was telling other teams that so he would fall to us ala Bichette. Guess we will see when he signs if we had something in place.

Yeah, and then they trade them.

Hoglund, Martin, Woods-Richardson.

Hopefully this guy gets an extended look I got a good feeling about him.
In baseball you have to use your prospects or lose them since players can be plucked in the Rule-5 draft after a handful of years in the minors. No point endlessly hoarding everyone in baseball and so far none of Hoglund (still recovering from TJ) Martin and Woods-Richardson have done anything to make us regret moving them.
