Baltimore is projected to select electric yet erratic starter in MLB Pipeline's newest mock draft.
will be picking 22nd overall in the 2024 MLB draft, and Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline has them selecting Iowa Hawkeyes starter Brody Brecht in Thursday's. Brecht has been a polarizing player over the entire process, but possesses elite stuff that could make teams regret letting him fall.
The issue, though, is his control. His lack of control, given a 40 grade, caused him to walk over five batters per nine innings in 2024, walking 49 batters in 78.1 innings. The reason he is both polarizing and intriguing, though, is ability to strike batters out despite all of the walks. He was in the top ten in the country in strike outs, with 14.7 K/9.
Should he fall to Baltimore, it could end up being a steal for the Orioles. He won't move as quickly as many college arms do, but they wouldn't necessarily need that. The team has shown a great ability to develop pitching prospects over the last few seasons, with Kyle Bradish and Grayson Rodriguez both taking big steps forward over the last year.
