Alabama Shortstop Jim Jarvis is a sight for sore eyes

The 2021 MLB Draft was bursting at the seams with guys whose strikeout rates had big league scouts keeled over and nauseated. Too many “premier” bats in last year’s class were plagued with extreme swing-and-miss concerns. Batted-ball data doesn’t matter if the ball isn’t, well, batted. The 2022 class appears much healthier in that respect. Leading the charge may be Alabama shortstop Jim Jarvis, a sight for sore eyes and a throwback to yesteryear.

It’s time we turn the page and flip our focus to the 2022 draft class. Over the past month, we’ve had one of our evaluators take in over 25 Cape Cod League games. Three of our evaluators were in attendance for all four days of the Perfect Game National Showcase. We’ve also got credentials at the USA Baseball College National Team contests. In total, our evaluators have taken in over 100 college baseball games over the past calendar year, developing their thoughts on the 2022 draft class, capturing footage along the way.
