About this episode
Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to talk about a medley of different draft topics and draft classes. The two talk about Rhett Lowder’s promotion to the majors and how his career has thus far panned out as expected and also talk through the recent heater that Cubs 2024 first-rounder Cam Smith has been on. The two then talk about lessons learned from previous drafts and draft prospects, including how to deal with anchoring biases and weighting performance, prospect fatigue and over- or under-reacting to changes in player performance and tools. The show closes with some conversation about a handful of the top 2025 prospects in the class, including South Carolina’s Ethan Petry and a 1-2 pitching punch of Tyler Bremner (UC Santa Barbara) and Jamie Arnold (Florida State). — Time Stamps (3:00) Rhett Lowder’s big league promotion (10:00) Cam Smith on a heater (18:30) Post-hype prospects & prospect fatigue (20:00) Adrian Del Castillo (25:00) Chase Dollander (29:00) Dylan Crews (34:00) Ethan Petry (39:00) Tyler Bremner vs. Jamie Arnold Our Sponsors: * Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/baseball-america/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
