FINAL Draft Scouting (We Found a STEAL) - MLB The Show 23 Franchise | Ep.6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Today we start a big MLB The Show 23 Franchise series with the Oakland Athletics. The A's are the toughest team for Franchise mode in MLB The Show this year, with their weak roster, struggling farm system, and the lowest budget in baseball. The rebuild of this team won't be easy. And there aren't many future stars already on the roster. We need to scout, develop, and completely change this team to succeed in the rebuild.
On my MrHurriicaneLP channel I make sports gaming lets play series. My series focus on building teams and players from sports like baseball and football. I play games such as Madden 23, NCAA Football 14, MLB The Show 23 and more.

Don't scout relief pitchers, 90% of relievers are failed starters. You just need to scout starters and the guys who can't cut it starting can still often be good relievers.
Actually, relievers would fit your moneyball theme.. look at relievers in the game.. they all suck. Undervalued even.. dont waste a 1st rounder on a reliever, but building an elite bullpen could be a moneyball theme with these A's..
I completely agree, and especially with how tight money is going to be in this rebuild. Cane can't afford the luxury of dedicated one inning high leverage pitchers like a closer or setup guy, he needs to build a stable of solid pitchers where losing one guy isn't going to cripple the entire structure. He also needs to maximize a bad farm system and some of those triple A starters would be decent bullpen arms with a bit more development.
Tampa does an amazing job at this kind of bullpen construction.
I'd really like a little mid-season recap of how other teams in the league are doing, maybe as a preview of some players that might be hitting free agency.
Yeah keeping up with the other teams around the league is much more immersive and keeps you engaged longer. Im doing a Nationals franchise and the Dodgers signed Ohtani, traded for Bobby Witt jr. Insane team
I recently found a steal in my relocation franchise. Kid was a 3rd round pick from Japan by the name of Alan Suzuki. He accidentally made the opening day roster due to me not paying attention. He hit .330 with 9 homeruns and 40 Rbis guy was a solid player.
was? where is he now?
Damn! Impressive

There were also a lot of high 80 potentials in every round as well. So you can definitely get great players throughout the draft unlike the old system, which is awesome.
The Japanese Leagues use starters usually only once a week. So some MLB teams have tried to ease Japanese pitchers in by setting a 6 day/man rotation in the first year.
That makes sense
I think somebody that is quietly having a good year that hasn’t been noticed is Lawrence Butler. He’s batting above .250 now. I think he could be at least a bench guy when this team gets good
With your free agent pickups, consider front loading contracts. That way, if you give a 28 year old a 3 year contract, and you trade him in year 2 and 3 when his value increased, the money the other team takes on is less.
This helps with value and may also help make more trades. A few years into the franchise some teams are very tight on budget
Yo Cane, starters in Japan normally only pitch once a week, the A’s are trying to ease Fujinami into the MLB workload, that’s why he’s only starting Saturdays
For Waldichuk it's a glitch that happens sometimes when you manually put someone into the rotation. Just let the cpu auto fix the rotation and it should go back to normal.
This series is so exciting having a load of fun watching it. One thing i can suggest is from watching other MLB the show Videos on YT here is never leave a prospect not fully scouted cause the last 20 percent can sway the ratings quite a bit. Looking forward to the draft episode.
I hope you live stream the Rule 5 Draft. After your series on those players, I think a lot of us find it exciting.
Please understand that drafting highschoolers is the opposite of Moneyball. Bean's own minor league stats are the perfect example. The goal of the draft isn't to get the most Booms, it's to have the fewest Busts. That way you don't have to waste money on late-20s mediocre or worse free agents just to fill the roster. High floors should be a priority for any team on a tight budget.
Would love to see more of whats happening around the league. Like what is going on with that Mariners roster? 😳
47:45 The reaction to this pitch was great
my favorite sports series on youtube atm, the attention to detail on your series' are superb, keep it up!
Happy that you aren’t picking up random A potential free agents. Good move from the GOAT
29:35 Love the take here. My approach to Super Mega Baseball 3 has and will always be high knee socks or bust. No one in my league has a choice.
Everything you said at 25:00 is so true. Like how is it 2023 and this is the only game with realistic ratings/ any real chance of boom/busts mid career/ season. Can't just trade for high overalls god I love this game.
In Japan they have pitchers pitch on a certain day of the week. Kodai Senga pitched every Friday in Japan
I'm actually curious to see how this draft will turn out.
Love the show for its dynamic contract stuff. Was able to sign Vladdy Jr for only 15 mil a year over 4 years after he had a down season. Came back and won MVP for me that first season
Would to see Lawrence Butler become a star on your roster.
Looking ahead to FA, Cody bellinger could be a good target. Young, struggling former MVP. Position versatility. Could get him cheap and possibly flip him if he can turn it around.
I like it. Some power in his ratings could be a DH as well
Should've gave Chris archer a player option the get the deal done....they usually decline it once the season is over and then you could've backloaded it
I throw a mutual option on it for a little more money
@@blakespicer9234 Chris Archer is out of the league lol...that's not exploiting
@@dcanngieter no but cheating the money would he
Would be*
@Blake Spicer it's not cheating the money. He's giving Archer an option to come back next year if he wants for more money with the back load. The player may decline it but that's on them.
The beauty of the show is you can develop Adolfo Cairo arm with training. That additional progression will allow him to become a 5 tool player
Does training actually improve their attributes?
@@ugh9671 yes if done right. It’s a lot of micro management
@Random Random Random There's a player I have that's great at everything else except Baserunning Aggressiveness and Stealing. Its Bryan Reynolds. He's 84 overall and I want to make him my leadoff hitter. Would training help improve that?
@@ugh9671 You’ll have to go to training and work on his base running. It works better for younger guys
Cane I think it's worth noting that a WAR of 2 is considered replaceable. Anybody on pace for below that isn't positively contributing even if the WAR number is positive. Just wanted to point that out with some of your talk on players with 0.5 WAR right now.
The only thing I’ll say about “steals” is the you have to also look at the low side of their potential because it can sometimes be a trap
I felt seen and personally attacked as a former high school ballplayer when Cane said he'd pitch me up 12-2
I think scouting wide swaths of players is ok, but you should really try to get the top few guys to 100% when you have a high pick so you know who they really are
Lawrence Butler Stans like myself really eating this episode
6 episodes in and I love this series. Keep up with the great work Cane.
Hey Cane, I think you should not he afraid to change potentials around for your players at the end of the year. If someone with d potential has a great year and it doesn't move up, I'm sure everyone would be fine with you moving their potential up to even just 70 to make it a c instead. I think connor Capel has earned it with his numbers
and vice versa would be nice as well (if the game doesn't do already)
The no name free agents you’re seeing are draft picks that didn’t sign with the team that drafted them. That’s why the interest percentage is so important during scouting.
I love how the show capture how a player can be awful in one game and elite in another!
When you were talking about draft prospect Ken Takahashi... I was too distracted by the very unrealistic for a young Japanese man beard he has
You should also set your teams training to fill in gaps in players stats or make good ones elite. Check and adjust them every month or so
I feel like the training does very little. It’s mostly based on their performance and potential.
@@nyte2813 training definitely helps. i had a really good shortstop with awful power and he would go up like 9 power a season when i focused weight room
I'm as excited as that Detroit tiger fan with his hotdog every time MR hurricane post the baseball video
Boy have I been missing out. I just started watching this series. Great stuff brother❤
Love the series. I’m glad you can have one of the few good A’s game where they blow out the opposing team instead of giving up all the runs
I've often complained about the Rockies underperforming when Cane plays (usually due to pitching), but the A's are so bad that they're way better!
I found a generational talent pitcher, 18 year old 80 with 99 potential. He throws a 4 seamer 101 mph and a cutter 99 mph… he’s absolutely filthy.
Would like to say, Overall bring higher than Potential usually means the player will be bad. Best case theyre around 70 ovr with 60 something potential and regress immediately, or theyre a 60 overall with 50 something potential.
The WPA is based on the current situation for the batter and pitcher. Outs, runners on base, inning, and score. It does not take into account what teams are playing. When it says 80% win probability, that means that 80% of the time a team with a 2-0 lead in the top of the 5th will win the game on average based on the average amount of runs scored in a game.
If you’re not planning on doing much in the off-season, you could still stream it (I assume “not doing much=less time spent) and then play a few spring training games.
This is probably my favourite cane series in years regardless of which channel. Keep it up Cane!!!
It would be so tempting to spill some gas, light a match and press fast forward. There just seems to be no value in the real roster inOakland. At least in a video game context.
You’re doing an amazing job creating interest in the process. I really enjoy this series, happy to have found your content.
Hey cane I noticed that sotestrum only has played like 16 games in the minors. Did he get hurt? Is he not starting? It would hurt his development either way. Just curious
Love love love this series so much
Willie Macbeth has such a perfect name that a part of me hopes we draft him for the Shakespearean nickname opportunities alone. "The Scottish Player", perhaps?
I've always loved the high socks and stirrups look. Plus the stance socks are cool looking to
Yeah weird pieces will come as the farm is developed and the team improves. Guys like the Twins have now in Kepler, Willi Castro, Donovan Soloano type names are gonna be every days for us
I don’t remember who it is, but there’s a catcher with 1 speed. That guy could challenge Jesus’s speed. Lol
this series gives me life hurricane
I believe once you scount enough the types of pitches will show because I for sure can see on my prospects press like square or triangle
Hey cane been going through some stuff recently and haven't been in a good mental place because of it, but this As franchise has been helping me out, so thanks for the content as always.
Hey! I know Cane is a busy dude and probably this comment got lost in the comment shuffle but I feel safe saying in his place that we all hope things turn in a better direction.
Idk if you are new to his channels or a vet but its a great community.
And I just wanted to comment and say your comment was seen and so are you.
Keep finding the reasons to keep on keeping on.
Feel free to comment on here or any of my comments(I comment on essentially every video for 7 years now)
If you ever need to talk or vent.
I gotchu!
Whenever a player trends in a direction they will only continue to go in that direction. A player who is trending down won’t trend up after a week or 2 of scouting.
I would love to see you make a trade attempt for Daniel Espino from the guardians.
He is one of their top prospects but he'd become your ACE basically.
And they need and love outfielders like laureano. Maybe package another player and prospect.
I love this series!
Just a heads up, you might want to consider trades involving A potential prospects. May feel unrealistic, but it's a lot like the Jimenez and Cease for Quintana trade between the Cubs and White Sox. Perhaps the prospects end up being Jimenez and taking a long time to reach their potential, or like Cease and you would feel like the A potential is underrating him
I think the series would be more fun focusing on drafting and developing, with smart free agent signings. Doesn't seem realistic or fun to trade everyone and anyone with any value. Too easy to acquire quality prospects by trading mediocre vets in this game. Please don't abuse it.
Big draft tip I found out. If you fully scout someone you 100% know how much higher their potential will be than their overall. If their potential range is 75-90 and their overall range is 65-80, their potential will be 10 points higher than their overall. Knowing this now helps me avoid low floor prospects early in the draft.
I unfortunately solidified this theory by drafting a 75 OVR with only 79 potential in the top 10 for my main franchise. Live and learn.
Also using this logic, Cario will be a huge bust. He’ll be a higher overall but have potential 3 lower, so he’ll only regress
I think the trade logic wouldn’t be so bad if they wouldn’t actually classify players as prospects vs mlb ready
To make trading more realistic and challenging use the cpu trading block only and putting players you want traded also on the block. It’s not the best but it’s better than the finder
As a man who is doing a Tigers Franchise, that game did not make me feel confident 💀
I think you should try and aquire Luis Guillorme from the Mets at the deadline. I think he fits what you are trying to build. I think of him like a lefty Ty France. Hitting machine with solid defense who won't ever command high contract because he is so unathletic and doesn't hit for power.
This is crazy that this episode comes out the same day I go to an A’s game
I drafted a generational pitcher in my first franchise with the pirates he’s a 79 ovr and 99 potential
please start looking at quirks more - there are a few (rally monkey/fighter/road warrior/homebody among others) that can be super valuable to a borderline-replacement player.
Something you might want to actually play around with for your closer role is maybe not stick with one true closer and just play matchups (which I know can be kinda hard when simming lol). Especially with the team not necessarily being in the position to have that one dominant Josh Hader or Edwin Diaz style of closer.
Focus on pitching depth and a tighter outfield
You might want to watch game 7 of the world series
I think you should consider trading Aledmis Diaz, he will only have one year left and you could sign a guy to replace him or platoon two players at shortstop. If he isn't injured at the deadline look to move him.
First real mistake I made, well 2 in my 2nd year was bringing up Soderstrom to early, then getting suckered into accepting a Giancarlo Stanton trade, he falls off so hard in 2024 lol. I hope Soderstorm gets better in AAA for me.
You should try and take notice of which draft picks don’t get signed and look for them in free agency
13:00 Jackie Sechrist? More like Dutch Van Der Linde
First Butler Grand slam in his career
18:35 I’d say closer to a kicker honestly
Mariners just always suck in simulations because the devs hate them for some reason. Ty France was a 78 even though he clearly was an all star that earned his spot. Haniger was a high 70 until this year where he was am 83 because he left the team. Gross honestly how the Mariners get hated on.
If you need to give a second year for an in season signing just give them a club option so you can decline
When a free agent wants a longer contract u put a club option on it and have it backloaded and then it equals out and u don't lose money
Awesome series and a great job by you Cane. Thank you for the great content always.
Ordering my Lawrence Butler jersey rn
Alright I need some help here. When looking at Adolfo Cairo Cane said his arm was "average" but if you look at the colors of those numbers and look at the bottom of the screen it very clearly states that the red numbers means well below average. Both his present and future ratings are red as well, barring the max arm strength he could have at 73 (which is still below average). Am I missing something or is Cane just not looking at it cuz he did this last episode too and I was extremely confused.
Archer was signed to a 2 year deal if he pitches well next season perhaps he might have deadline value next year
Just like the actual A's ownership. Flat out refusing to make good trades
Chazzdaddy 19 game hitting streak!
Anyone else get a kick out of the stupid faces on the generated draft prospect player cards? They all got a chipmunk ass smile lol
maybe tweak capels potential? he's playing well and he is only 25 i feel he should have room to improve rather than get worse at only 25
I did my draft yesterday, Reds drafted a 18 year old SS that is an 81 day 1 with 99 potential
As far as the trade deadline, I don’t think anyone on the team has the value to get even a B prospect in return. I think looking for young near mlb level C potentials would be the more realistic trade
You ever thought about switching to dynamic and start it at Hall of Fame difficulty? I know the Tigers are horrible but you’ve put up a lot of runs these past few episodes!
the only problem i have with the way the show does its overall and that stuff is it sometimes makes guys too inconsistent and then it ruins their career. a lot. like some of these guys have a bad year but its not as crazy as they make it. like even a bad year is still a good year for other guys. but it tanks them
We sure Willie McBeth ain’t 50 years old ?
tyler soderstrom also plays 1st base btw
If guys like sears who are really low rated have good full seasons their stats should be raised even if it isn’t much
the pitcher on the thumbnail looks like the youtuber ScareTheater
zach jackson man needs to be sent to Indonesia in all seriousness
commented after he hit the first batter, maybe just send him to Korea instead
Why indonesia of all places 😂
Hey Cane love your mlb content also they just released an update with updated rosters position changes etc 👍Keep up the great work 😊
Love the series!
Loving the series
If he’s there for your pick you have to go Arron don he looks like a beast
