My pick would be Jake Mangum out of Mississippi State, but that's up to debate. He was talented, but so was JJ Bleday, Dansby Swanson, Adley Rutschman, the list goes on...
Great question. Jake Mangum is a great pick. He was an excellent college baseball player and had a huge impact on his program.
As far a raw talent, Adley Rutschman is my answer. He is absurdly talented. He has power and can hit for average from both sides and is an excellent defensive catcher.
Totally agree with you. Rutschman can definitely be the future of the Orioles both behind the plate and at the plate. Like you said, he's probably one of the best hitting catchers we've seen in recent years.
