I have the number 1 pick in an upcoming draft. I am in a neutral park, and I am looking for advice from everyone. I am torn between a couple players. For some reason I can't paste their cards in here....probably because the draft has not taken place yet. But here are their projections.

Pitcher 1 Pitcher 2

proj. 67/88 60/85
DUR 24/24 23/23
HTH 73/86 56/70
STA. 67/85 61/67
CON 70/100 64/96
LH 60/76 67/100
RH 71/94 54/76
VEL 84/94 74/89
GB/FB 84/100 37/53

PITCH 1 60/67 78/95
PITCH 2 52/67 68/83
PITCH 3 38/54 57/87
PITCH 4 27/40 32/40

sorry but the cards won't paste in here.

If there is a pitcher with 90+CTL, 90+SPLITS take him, otherwise take the best bat.

Pitcher 1 has low pitches...but great control and splits.... but should I be worried about his 4 low pitch projections?

Gotta go with #2. Pitch quality is very important. Pitcher #2 is an ace. Pitcher #1 is a back-of-the-rotation guy.

I was under the impression that would play a part in his career... those pitches just seem so low for a guy who has other great ratings.

Are you sure there arent better hitters? I wouldn't define either of those guys as true aces.

He is Right Handed.

the 2 pitchers after him are projected 81 and 82...high stamina , control, 4 or 5 pitches that are good, but the splits are 70/70 or lower
