RTTS Draft Pick
-
For your first RTTS player this year...
What was your player type, did you go to college, and where did you land in the draft?I created a starting pitcher with a Cutter, 12-6 Curve, Vulcan Change, Sweeper, and a Screw Ball. I focused my points on K/9 and Stamina. I learned of how to develop pitches too late to better them before the draft. I went to the Cardinals with the 21st pick in round 2. Not too bad for first go at it. I had a great College World Series Championship game with 13 or 14 Ks to finish off a good, but not great college career. I also started at #7 overall, #3 SP, and #1 Cardinals prospect on the top 100 Prospects List.

My first player was a shortstop and I focused on power, fielding and throwing. In my after high school draft I was picked #6 in the 1st round. I went to college and was the 1st overall pick (I play on rookie so that’s probably not a huge accomplishment). I played for the Vols in college and we won the college World Series.
I started as the #3 prospect but made it to #1 in about 5 games. After I got my 3 main attributes up I focused on speed, which changed me from a 3-4 hitter to the regular lead off. I think once you get speed up past power and contact the system automatically moves you to lead off. I was called up straight from AA to the MLB where I am now.

@GreenEydBndt_XBL Was your Overall under the person in front of you? I haven't heard that your Stats can move you up verses just your overall score.

Yes, my overall was under, I was only a 66-67 when I was called up. I think with the new system that doesn’t matter as much unless you’re playing the same position as a star player. Example is I wouldn’t expect to get called up if I was a 1st baseman for the Phils, because you’re behind Harper. Let’s say though you’re a shortstop for the Tigers (my RTTS player). He may have a higher OVR but he’s not really a star right now. My productivity is higher so I got called up early

My first go around was corrupted (two way player; not sure what happened).
Second time I went #6 overall (probably because I picked my favorite team instead of choosing "don't care who drafts me"), went to college and got picked #1 overall.
