I'd love a big time college arm, but not many of those in this draft. If they miss on Kevin Parada's bat, I say draft the highest upside high schooler and hope for the best.

I'm not a huge fan of high school hitters that high except if you think they can stick at a premium defensive position.  The transition to wood bats and dudes who have multiple refined pitches is just too steep to be comfortably projectable without surefire defensive value.  College hitters take a lot of that risk out via better competition and summer wood bat leagues.

Also, you're talking 2022 prospects, whereas this season affects 2023 draft order.
