Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to talk through some of the most interesting players in the 2024 class from a data perspective. 
After the rollout of the top 400 draft list this week, the two go back and forth and trade information on prospects who analysts, or those big on batted ball data and stuff+ metrics, might fall in love with. 
The players include a few potential day one hitters, but the bulk of the conversation revolves around names who could be upside picks on the second day of the draft. There’s a hitter whose batted ball data fits with a handful of first rounders but is never mentioned in that range, a slugger with exit velocity data similar to Jac Caglianone, a pitcher with perhaps the best slider in the country and another pitcher who might quietly have the best fastball in the country among others.
