MLB.com ranked Guardians among top 6 draft hauls.

6 teams with the best hauls in the Draft

LOS ANGELES -- The Mets' 2021 Draft didn't work out as planned. New York manipulated its bonus-pool money to be able to afford a $6 million bonus for No. 10 overall pick Kumar Rocker, but didn't have a backup plan for utilizing the savings after not signing the Vanderbilt right-hander

5. Guardians
James Madison outfielder Chase DeLauter (first) had the best combination of tools, plate discipline and performance among college hitters, yet Cleveland was able to snag him at No. 16. The Guardians excel at enhancing refined college arms, and they grabbed three in Oklahoma State right-hander Justin Campbell (supplemental first), Florida State left-hander Parker Messick (second) and Mississippi righty Dylan DeLucia (sixth). DeLucia won Most Outstanding Player honors at the College World Series. They also added several premier contact hitters, starting with high-energy Arizona State outfielder Joe Lampe (third), and a pair of real talent values in high school arms Jackson Humphries (eighth) and Jacob Zibin (10th).

Is he related to the other Naylors we have?

I have to find the GIF of Jack....

IIRC..... YES!

It's a definite yes on that, to add on to what MadThinker just said.

And I honestly wouldn't be shocked at all if the Guardians draft him, though I have no idea of his current projection? You would think though that scouts league wide would put some stock into his oldest brother being a quality big leaguer and his other bother being a top100 prospect.

It sounds like we will find a way to bring him in even if he isnt great, but that swing sounded pretty good! lol

2022 MLB Draft Roundup

With the 2022 draft in the books, some closing thoughts on the players taken in the later rounds.

blogs.fangraphs.com

Cleveland Guardians
Guy Lipscomb Jr. (5) is a medium-framed, lefty-hitting outfielder from Belmont who has incredible bat-to-ball feel and 30 bat speed right now. College World Series hero Dylan DeLucia (6) sits 90-92 mph with rise/run and has a tight low-80s slider. Lefty Jackson Humphries (8) from Fuquay-Varina HS in North Carolina can show you 95 mph, but mostly sits 92-93. His breaking ball has some depth and his delivery looked a little more fluid at the Combine. Austin Peterson (9), a 6-foot-6 UConn righty, has a promising slider and may have a shot to throw harder than his current 87-90. USC second baseman Tyresse Turner (13) is a little gamer/grinder type who runs well.

When I heard he was buddies with Espino, I figured he would likely sign...

Still, how are they making up the million overslot they did with Zibin...

 

[DCTribefan]

Sixth round pick Dylan DeLucia has signed for $275,000; slightly under slot.

 

[sportscoach]

I believe that makes 3 of the 21 signed...

I wouldn’t worry about it. Aren’t we allowed to pay a penalty for going five percent over? I’m guessing that 5 percent will cover most of it.
