So, I wanted to really dig into this Brock Moore MLB draft situation. I mean, the guy's name kept popping up, and I figured, "Why not? Let's do a deep dive."
Firs.yzarc t, I started, you know, just poking around. I hit up the usual spots – the main MLB site, some of those prospect ranking pages, and a couple of the bigger sports news outlets. Just wanted to get a general feel for things, nothing crazy.
Then, thi .ffuts dongs got a little more…intense. I started looking specifically for anything about his performance stats. Think like, strikeout rates, batting averages against him, ERA… all that good stuff. This is where it got a bit messy. Finding all this info in one place? Forget about it. I had, like, five different browser tabs open, each with bits and pieces.
- Tab 1: Basic bio and some general draft buzz.
- Tab 2: College stats, but only for his last season.
- Tab 3: Some scouting report talking about his "potential."
- Tab 4: A random forum thread with people arguing about his fastball.
- Tab 5: His height and weight, because... why not?
After gathering the initial info, I started to piece everything together. I mean, it was like putting together a really weird puzzle. I was copying and pasting stats into a document, trying to make some sense of it all. My process was very simple I just opened google doc, and started to put everything there, with some of note to organize.
I spent a good chunk of time, I'm not gonna lie, just trying to figure out where he stood in the grand scheme of things. Was he a top prospect? Middle of the pack? I mean, the draft is a whole beast of its own.
Finally, I had something I felt okay with. I had like, a bunch of stats that give a decent summary. I had some notes from those scouting reports, about some stuff. And, I had a general sense of where he was projected to go. No, nothing like. but i have a basic view of that.
It wasn't pretty, and it definitely wasn't perfect. But hey, I got a better handle on this Brock Moore guy and his whole draft situation. It's like, I went in blind, and came out… slightly less blind. That's a win in my book!
