Jake Wong, RHP, Grand Canyon University

JACKSONVILLE - Wong burst on the scene with a decent showing as a reliever in the Cape Cod League in 2017. He followed that up with a good junior year at Grand Canyon University. He may project more as a reliever than a starter featuring a low to mid 90's FB and a slurvy slider. His command seems to come and go as the innings mount which may lead him down the Kyle Crick path.

This quote is fairly accurate I'm sure, DePodesta is a pretty sharp guy.

1st Round:   50/50 chance of good MLB player
2nd Round:  25% chance of good MLB player
3rd Round:   12.5% chance of good MLB player
4th Round:   6.25% chance of good MLB player
5th Round:   3.125% chance of good MLB player

6th Round and above, you're looking at greater than 50:1 odds of success. 

It seems like in the first three rounds, you better get some guys who have produced at a fairly high level, fairly consistently. After that, you go shopping for some new toys for your developmental guys that may have some dings on them, but that you have some reason to believe that they can polish up and be made to look like the shiny new toys you drafted earlier.
