On Monday, spoke with Ben Badler, Senior Writer for Baseball America.
Badler focuses on all things MLB prospects – scouting reports, rankings, and in-depth analysis on talent. Badler also has great knowledge of the international market, which he shared on the show.
In a conversation with Scott Reinen, Badler discussed how he evaluates talent and ranks prospects, the international signing process, the current top international prospect Jasson Dominguez, and more.
When evaluating talent, Badler said he uses a mix of the “eye-test” and the numbers, but it also depends on what kind of prospect he is looking at.
