Drake Mann

Random life / motivation thread A quick thank you to @GCU_Baseball @greggwallis19 @nj_banni and the A-Team In 2021, I dealt with the death of my mom unexpectedly, while working somewhere where I wasn’t going anywhere and it really took a toll on my motivation to keep going. /1

I remember previously on Prospects Overload about 4 years ago @cadon_schmidt called him severely overrated and didn’t understand the hype. Turns out…he was right

Well then…#SFGiants OF prospect Rayner Arias hasn’t had the bat translate as many hoped but here’s the swing that got him signed right here! Check out this bomb from Arias! @giantprospectiv @giantsprospects @mmonreal0423

Another day another #SFGiants Jhonny Level bomb! Plus bat speed, solid barreling abilities and some good raw power for his size (Ik I’ve said this before but he just keeps proving the power will translate well as he matures!) @giantprospectiv @giantsprospects @mmonreal0423

It’s around the time of the year where we see some substantial releases from mlb clubs to fit in the new draftees. Especially at the Rookie league level a roster can change in an instant.

#Marlins eighth-round pick Emilio Barreras told us that he models his game after former Marlin Luis Arraez. @marlinsminors

One of my favorite bats from 2024 Arizona Complex league is out here rehabbing! Here’s a look at #Royals Ramon Ramirez lacing this base hit into center field! @royalsminors @RoyalsData

#Rockies Rehabbing 1B prospect and 2024 9th round pick Tommy Hopfe rips a walk off single past the right fielder! Solid swing path here @blakestbanter

For those that are interested, here’s the open side mechanics of #Athletics former top SS international signee Robert Puason off a mound! Mainly a sinker baller but can get really wild at times

#Rockies prospect Roldy Brito remains one of the least talked about players during the Complex League season but there’s legit tools here with the 18-year-old! 70 grade speed and a sweet left-handed swing with plenty of gap-to-gap power! @blakestbanter

Schedule for the rest of Complex League… Saturday morning: Athletics at Rockies Monday: Padres at Royals Tuesday: Cubs at Giants Wednesday: Angels at Mariners Thursday: double header!!: Reds at Guardians and Rockies at Angels Then it’s grind time on reports!

Finishing up my report of #Royals SS Yandel Ricardo and here’s a reason to why you’d want to fall in love with him as a prospect Hit tool is advanced to where he’s a “pest” fouling off multiple pitches until he does stuff like this 10th pitch of the AB at 96 mph… 🎥: @MiLB

If the control keeps up, Bresnahan is a future mid rotation starter. Saw him numerous times at the ACL last year and the stuff is solid. Wondering why he’s still in low-a…

Name a loss that made you sit in silence for 30 minutes after the game

One of the most fun bats so far at the Complex. For his frame (5’9”), there’s plenty of raw power in the tank. Look at the way his weight transfers and the front hip just explodes! The swing is short and quick to the ball and it’s meant to do damage

Starting to put together my list of top bats from the ACL season and theres some serious potential with some of these prospects! Gonna have a report on each one with grades and footage! Should be a fun couple of weeks to finish the ACL season!

Emilio gets the phone call from the @Marlins on draft day. 📞🥺
