Jose Fernandez vs taylor guerrieri

and Fernandez throws two breaking pitches, but really only the curveball is above average. I’ve heard its wipeout, but I thought I heard that about the slider too. The diamondscape report gave his pitches a 60 FB / 55 CU / 45 SL / 40/45 (sorry, forget) CHG. The high-effort delivery has people thinking bullpen though. I don’t like Guerrieri’s lack of a third pitch but the fact that Fernandez is a year older, seemingly maxed out physically, and has his high-effort delivery all make me feel like Guerrieri is the slightly better prospect.

That being said, Fernandez seems safer and as a draft prospect he might be preferred to Guerrieri due to sign-ability. Fernandez is speculated to sign for slot, and would have pretty much anywhere in the first round, while Guerrieri has some more leverage. If one is 2 or 3x more expensive than the other I feel they are close enough that it could color the judgment of the two.

His still is a touch better today and his ceiling is a touch higher. Though it is nitpicking as they are really close. I think Guerrieri has #1 potential and Fernandez has a very very good #2 potential. I like Guerrieri’s build, FB and CB are going to be plus or better and the CH will be at least avg but probably a touch above that. His cutter has potential if he decides to stick with it. I see Fernandez as having a plus FB (but not as dynamic as Guerrieri) and either his SL or CB might be plus. His CH will be avg. So he has the potential to have a 4 pitch arsenal I just like Guerrieri’s stuff a touch more.
