Summary
The Rockies pulled off a draft steal with Jack Natili, a 21-year-old catcher from Cincinnati, selected 76th overall. A defensive dynamo with elite arm strength and a standout college resume—including catching two runners in one game—he’s already showing power (19 HR, .339 AVG) and polish. At 198 pounds, he’s primed to bulk up and become a force behind the plate. With top-tier stats and a track record of improvement, Natili’s quiet draft slot could be his rocket fuel. He’ll battle for playing time with fellow catchers Daniel Jackson and Hunter Goodman, giving the Rockies depth and future flexibility at the position. Watch closely—this could be a breakout candidate in the minors. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
