"we need position players" "Position players will fall to us, I know it" Continues to draft pitchers and watch position players he wants get drafted. But for real great video!!
As a real life MLB draft tip, always draft a position up the middle (catcher, pitcher, shortstop, center field) with your first round pick because it is easier to transition those players to other positions if they do not pan out at their original position (for example, converting a SS to 3B or 2B or a SP to a RP or CP)
@@rektorik84I don’t think so because there is a lot sure but they’re not always a top 5 pick I’ve seen generation guys go round 2 and in competitive balance round as well , I’d say they’re easy to find early but also super easy to miss on them considering sometimes they just drop further .
Getting a generational catcher saved my Joe Random franchise as the Indianapolis Arrows. 2024 draft 2nd overall. 79 overall great hitting solid fielding. I have him at DH because I also drafted an elite fielding catcher with B potential. Good catchers are unicorns in these drafts, so I am counting my lucky stars. LOVING the new scouting and draft compared to what it used to be
I love it too but my only complaint is that I feel like it’s way to pitcher heavy there will be drafts where there are no goof position players and only pitchers
The way they have scouting set up for position scouting by region HEAVILY favors scouting pitching by region and kind of hoping with spot scouting position players individually. They really ought to have you be able to scout infield and outfield as a whole by region, or at least group some positions together (2nd/short, 3rd/1st, whatever). You can literally scout every starting pitcher, in every region, with two good scouts. You can’t do that, or even close to it, with position players.
wayyyyyyyy too many generational talents in my opinion. the odds to find one needs to drop drastically! the fact you can find two in one draft class is absurd. "GENERATIONAL"!!!!!! it really should mean one in every 15 to 20 years but if you make it 1 to 2 every 5-10 years thats fair. its way too easy to find them
We appreciate the quality content! It can't always be easy playing to create content for your viewer base when there's probably other things you'd rather be doing.
I feel so bad for you ant. I'm sorry but if a team is going 0-162 they should have the first overall pick in the draft, no contest, even with the lottery
Did my draft only rebuild with A's. Took me until 2030 to make the playoffs and won the world series in 7 against Miami. The same team we started the season against.
I drafted a right fielder who looked decent from the Dominican Republic; he was an 81 overall right off the bat, huge pop at the plate and elite speed, the only thing he wasn’t elite at was discipline, obviously a 99 overall after 2 years
Tbh trading for drafted players feels so easy this year. Anytime I miss out on a player I feel I can almost always trade for them with an aged vet who doesn't have tht much in the tank anymore
Would you be up to making a rebuild of only drafting players from a teams state. Example: Cubs, only draft players from Illinois and build a team up from Illinois.
The CPU auto drafted 2 generational talents for me and also signed ohtani Soto and Bobby Witt with a bunch of other prospects and won a World Series with the A’s
btw when Rice's overall was pointing down, but all his stats went up. Its because you made him a reliever at the start of the season so his overall really dropped and never got back up to its original overall
Love the vids man, what are your thoughts on just scouting specific guys around your pick range or do you think sticking with sticking with positions is the safest way to go?
That works too, I just scout the position to get a bunch done at a time. But I will have a scout assigned to specific players too. Kinda just mix it up depending on what I see
I just finished my first week of scouting. Set one scout to discovery and he discovered 4 players. How do I see the 4 players he discovered. I thought it would be as simple as clicking on the scout but that didn't work.
There needs to be year round scouting on prospects. The way it’s set up just makes it so too heavy. Impossible to get guys scouted for every round of the draft
I started a new fantasy today with the diamondbacks using the roster you showed yesterday. I finally drafted a generational talent but sadly it was a CF so my outfield is Carroll, Generational Talent, and McCarthy. Druw jones is still 22 in the franchise but he’s already at a 76 and McCarthy is 88
I also always do this challenge but since it always gets to stacked for me I play with the As and any player I drafted I have to trade if their is a prompt to
Yes! I actually shouted this out when I saw this, this morning. Had to explain to my wife why I was so excited. She didn’t get it. SMH…. Might need to look into divorce. 😂😂😂
Dude the AI in this game is so idiotic, I set my roster moves to auto because it's tedious to do on my own, they have released 3 mid 80s players over the course of a few seasons, one being a then 23 year old 88 ovr 96 potential player 😭

Good tip
Time to get my popcorn, TheAntOrtiz just dropped an hour and 36 minute long video 🍿
That as long as movie
I literally have popcorn in my house and its a good amount so I’ll join you🍿🍿
I brought taquitos
18:07 The complete deadpan delivery of “Half our team just retired” LOL
"We've only drafter pitchers. I NEED position players"
Next 2 picks are Starting Pitchers...
At 16:11 in the second draft the Mets drafted a 2B 22 year old 99 potential. Their last pick of the draft.
Eddie Perez
Seen that. Was about to comment
Generational talents are always at the top of the draft list and 18. Not hard to miss them.
Kinda what I noticed too 😅
there are WAYY too many in this game. its kind of annoying. should be a lot more rare to have one in a draft class

I have plenty of pitchers I just need any position players *drafts more pitchers*
Man what a good video! You’ve helped me explore the game more and open my eyes to franchise! Best franchise UA-camr out there man for sure.
Yo Ant, idk if you ever done it before but an all left or all right handed team, (hitters and pitchers) only rebuild would be cool
We appreciate the quality content! It can't always be easy playing to create content for your viewer base when there's probably other things you'd rather be doing.
How were you able to scout so many players? Did you do regions and positions or did you pick out individuals for the 3 spots?
I feel so bad for you ant. I'm sorry but if a team is going 0-162 they should have the first overall pick in the draft, no contest, even with the lottery
Did my draft only rebuild with A's. Took me until 2030 to make the playoffs and won the world series in 7 against Miami. The same team we started the season against.
My last draft no generational but pick potentials were 88, 90, 84, 89, 80, and 88.

16:12 generational prospect in the late rounds that went unnoticed
how did you notice that it was on the screen for less than a second
Generational prob gets overused when there's usually at least one in every draft 😂 plus the dude was 22 yrs old

Been waiting for this! My favorite video every year, easily!
Your draft brake down video help a lot my first draft was ass but my last was were all gems thanks
I feel like I don’t have the option to view draft picks anymore? Where is it after the draft?
Love the vids ant keep up the great work
One thing I learned from this video is that when there players that are unscounted with high potential ratings late in the draft you take them
2:14 am right now but i need me some popcorn ‼️‼️
Make your joe randoms 55 overall, with 65 potential. They don’t retire right away and will help keeping your roster full 👍
@Patrick C yes, the roster is the standard one as I’m half way through updating a full roster. I can post it tonight if you like 👍
@Patrick C roster uploaded, search online ID Gnomekicker37. I used oakland for this. Start with the 6th overall pick in the first draft
@Patrick C I forget. Simulation roster or something. It’s under the ID Gnomekicker37 if you search that instead
Let’s go, it’s back
Missing 2 generational year 1 is rough
btw when Rice's overall was pointing down, but all his stats went up. Its because you made him a reliever at the start of the season so his overall really dropped and never got back up to its original overall
ohh good call, forgot about that

I got a question why couldn’t I draft with my other user teams in a franchise, really want to know why, is it an SDS problem?
The script writers did good this video
I just finished my first week of scouting. Set one scout to discovery and he discovered 4 players. How do I see the 4 players he discovered. I thought it would be as simple as clicking on the scout but that didn't work.
Man where are you finding all these generational talents? I’ve done 5 or 6 drafts now and haven’t had a single one yet
what roster u use?
Best video of the year!😤
I think one of the joe randoms got sent down when you were trying to see why you had an extra pitcher
Can you do this in a series?
Does anyone know if the new draft/scouting is for both current and last gen or only current
This is my favorite video of the year please do this twice with the new scouting
How do you do this without getting random people join the team
I dont have words but this was just amazing
There needs to be year round scouting on prospects. The way it’s set up just makes it so too heavy. Impossible to get guys scouted for every round of the draft
Pending/waivers draft only,Ant probably gonna lose his shit if he does this
I know some people don't like super long videos, but I love long videos. Keep it up 👍
fun fact this video is exactly as long as napoleon dynamite (2004)
Knew this would be long draft only is crazy 🔥
My first pick in this entire game was a generational center fielder at 5 and I havent drafted a good player since
What roster do you use for the 0 overall players?
I just made it myself
I started a new fantasy today with the diamondbacks using the roster you showed yesterday. I finally drafted a generational talent but sadly it was a CF so my outfield is Carroll, Generational Talent, and McCarthy. Druw jones is still 22 in the franchise but he’s already at a 76 and McCarthy is 88
Put him in left or right field and if that is covered trade him for an infielder prospect

Haven’t gotten any generational players but my 154th ranked prospect catcher I drafted in the 6th round was a 95 potential
Dude constantly says he has too many pitchers and keeps drafting them
The legend of Donny McGee!
Went a little too heavy on the pitchers lol
Keep up the hard work bro
W Vid.🔥🔥🔥
Oh I’m excited
Can you please do a franchise draft guide
I made that exact video last week. I even said in this video that the scouting/draft video is out already. I uploaded it one week ago
That’s crazy you got 5 generational talent just in the draft I can’t get 1 to appear
Name of the beat? 🔥 🔥
dude why did you keep taking pitchers this was insane
I have been eagerly waiting for this! 😄👍
Please do a trade only video also love your vids!
Here from bengals stream. Accidental publish haha
Yes! I actually shouted this out when I saw this, this morning. Had to explain to my wife why I was so excited. She didn’t get it. SMH…. Might need to look into divorce. 😂😂😂
See my first and second picks I seem to suck at choosing but after that in the mid to late rounds I find 85+ players
“Why does everybody want the money”
why can’t we edit quirks? i find that really dumb. the more control the better
Had a draft couple days ago with the athletics, 7 picks. 5 actual potential over 92 and other 2 were 87-89…. Lost the gym contract after that season 🙄
ITS TIME
Defeated isn’t the opposite of undefeated, it’s winless. Love you ant
maybe we were defeated mentally & emotionally after going winless lol
@@TheAntOrtiz 😂
Only one generational player so far. A shortstop
let’s go new upload!
You making me want to pick up the show bro 😂
accidental upload sucks but i’m here😭
Do a rebuild using the too 100 prospects ranked by MLB

wheeeeewww 1 hour video!??
I think the generational player progress way to fast they're always 99OVR at 21YRS old,& start declining quickly too.
bro did i see tellez mvp??? crazy
This is such a little thing but Tatis not officially being in the game is REALLY pissing me off
Did you see in season 2 the Mets drafted a gen talent 2nd baseman another missed just saying lmao
Did they add in a lottery system? Why are you winning 0 games and getting worse draft picks?
Lottery is in the game
@@TheAntOrtiz damn 0 wins and the 6th pick is tough lol
Only problem with this is I wanted to watch you scout
Uh fyi when ppl are getting drafted ur facecam blocks their position
What a banger
Yessss
The white first names for Asians is annoying 🙃 “James Takahashi”…. Lot of James’ is walking around Tokyo.
Can't wait for the minor league players only rebuild 😊
