If his career is just a bit shorter than Mike Freeman's it may still be a success

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 50 | Run: 75 | Arm: 60 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50

The top two-sport athlete in the 2019 Draft, Ealy is a five-star running back recruit who led Jackson Prep (Flowood, Miss.) to four straight Mississippi 4-A state football championships. He's one of only four players to earn Under Armour All-America honors in baseball and football, joining Kyler Murray, A.J. Brown and Maurice Hampton (another top prep prospect in this class). He has committed to play both sports at Mississippi, and his multisport talents give him added leverage but also cloud his signability -- as does a disappointing spring at the plate.

Ealy needs to smooth out his right-handed stroke and has had trouble making quality contact against Mississippi high school pitching as a senior. He also had swing-and-miss issues on the showcase circuit last summer. He has impressive bat speed and packs plenty of strength in his compact frame, giving him at least 20-homer upside if he puts it all together at the plate.

Ealy can flash top-of-the-scale run times and already shows a knack for stealing bases. His quickness allows him to chase down balls in both gaps from center field, though his reads and routes need more work, and his strong arm will play anywhere in the outfield. His package of tools is similar to that of Murray, who signed with the A's for $4,660,000 as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 Draft before winning the Heisman Trophy and becoming the No. 1 overall choice in the NFL Draft.

Arizona Diamondbacks

Seven picks in Day 1, including four of the first 35 selections, helped the Diamondbacks load up on talent this week.

According to MLB.com, the organization landed 12 of the draft's top 200 prospects.

The first three selections were out of high school, and each of them has a chance to be an impact player down the line. Outfielder Corbin Carroll is one of the fastest players in the class, while left-hander Blake Walston has a projectable frame and good stuff as just a 17-year-old, but Brennan Malone might have been the biggest steal.

The right-hander had the talent to be selected in the top half of the first round thanks to a big fastball and developing curveball:

Good stuff Jon.

1st-rder Corbin Carroll signs with ⁦‪@Dbacks‬⁩ for $3,745,500 (full pick 16 value). Washington HS OF, one of best prep hitters and fastest prep runners in ⁦‪@MLBDraft‬⁩, plays quality CF too. UCLA recruit.

I'm getting the feeling that the #Dbacks may have enough money to make a run at a couple of HS guys they drafted after the 10th round. If they do pull off a couple extra, unexpected signings, that'll move the needle even further for this draft.

Blake Walston just walked through the Diamondbacks clubhouse. It seems he has signed or is close to doing so. He was the 26th overall pick.
