Breaking Down the Draft: Bryan Price vs. Brad Holt

Comparing Mets draft pick Brad Holt and Red Sox pick Bryan Price:

As I watched the video of Bryan Price, who was drafted 48th overall this season by the Boston Red Sox, his similarity to Mets draft pick Brad Holt struck me. Both were drafted in similar spots, both offer plus fastballs, and both have projectable, athletic builds.

In addition, each pitcher possesses some very similar mechanical attributes, which also makes it easier to identify some subtle, but critical differences.
