Are there any sources you would prefer for the scouting reports?

Re: Boomersooner4_ou Draft CAPs 2019

Are there any sources you would prefer for the scouting reports?

I like to compare a couple scouting reports per player and try and find a happy medium between them. The more sources the better and it does not matter where they are from.

I mainly use Mlb.com and some others like perfect game, baseball America, SB Nation and 2080.

For my requests here are some scouting reports.
Here is the link for the MLB Cubs draft page (https://www.mlb.com/draft/tracker/all/team/cubs)
Here is the link for the Bleed Cubbie Blue draft recap (https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2019...ichael-mcavene)
Here is the link to the Cubs Insider day 2 draft recap (https://www.cubsinsider.com/2019/06/...eld-surprises/)

1) CP (R) Michael McAvene, Louisville
-MLB-
The top pitcher in Louisville's 2016 recruiting class, McAvene was carving out a role as a freshman when he blew out his elbow in April. He returned to the mound a year later following Tommy John surgery and has emerged as the Cardinals' closer this spring. He offers additional intrigue because of the college relievers projected to go in the first five or six rounds, he might have the best chance to transition to starting in pro ball. Coming out of the bullpen, McAvene sits at 93-95 mph and can reach 96 with riding life on his four-seam fastball. He's doing a better job of generating velocity without overthrowing this spring, helping his ability to pound the bottom of the strike zone. He backs it up with a low-80s breaking ball that combines slider power with curveball depth. Both of McAvene's pitches grade as plus at their best, and he's throwing more strikes than ever. To succeed in a pro rotation, he'll need to develop a changeup after having little use for one to this point of his career. His strong 6-foot-3 frame is built for durability and his dramatically improved command bodes well for his future.
-BCB-
McAvene underwent Tommy John surgery as freshman and has been pitching out of the bullpen ever since. He has a good fastball that sits 94-95 but he can reach 97 at times. Or, as in this game, he can hit 100 for the final strike of the game. There’s some thought that he can go back to starting and the Cubs might try that as he gets further away from his surgery. Or they could just groom him as a fireballing reliever.
-CI-
Third round pick Michael McAvene out of Louisville stands out because he’s got the kind of power arm and solid frame to be a starter in the pros. He’s the closer for one of the best teams in the country, but at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, he’s all set to make the move to the starting rotation if the Cubs should choose.
McAvene pitched only 54 innings total innings in three years, which included missing most of his freshman year due to TJS. Considering what the Cubs have been able to do with last year‘s closer from Louisville, Riley Thompson, this could work out really well. And McAvene has much better stuff than Thompson did in college, hitting triple digits at times this season.

A video of him throwing a lot:

2. C Ethan Hearn, Mobile Christian High School
-MLB-
Only two Alabama high school catchers ever have been selected in the first three rounds, and it hasn't happened in the last 50 years. Rated the top prep backstop in the 2019 Draft by some teams, Hearn could join James Kelly (Orioles, second round, 1966) and Lamar Johnson (White Sox, third, 1968) in that exclusive club. His talent and the relative lack of catching available this year is pushing him up boards. Hearn's two most impressive tools are his raw power and pure arm strength, both of which grade as plus. He's a left-handed hitter whose strength and aggressive, pull-oriented mindset give him plenty of pop to right field. He has a quick release on his throws and can record 1.9-second pop times to second base. A Mississippi State recruit, Hearn still requires some offensive and defensive polish. He needs to temper his approach at the plate because he doesn't always make consistent contact against quality pitching. He has improved as a receiver but still has more work to do and loses concentration more often than he should.
-BCB-
Hearn was considered the top high school catching prospect in the draft and many think the Cubs got a steal with Hearn in the sixth-round. David Kaplan reports that the Cubs have already come to terms with Hearn.
Hearn projects to be a power-hitting left-handed catcher who may struggle to hit for average. He’s got a strong arm and great tools behind the plate although like all high school catchers, he’s a little raw. He earns praise for his work ethic, which may be the number one requirement for a catcher. The track record of high school catchers isn’t great, but Hearn may have more upside than anyone the Cubs took in this year’s draft.
