Projectable references the potential to add velocity to the fastball. It references guys who are tall and skinny. They are described as having projectable frames because they have the chance to add velocity as they grow in to their frames (adding weight, muscle, etc). Not all high school players have a projectable frame. For example, Zack Von Rosenberg had a projectable frame, and still does. He’s tall and skinny, and can add velocity as he grows in to his frame. Colton Cain isn’t projectable. He already has grown in to his frame, which makes it unlikely that he’s going to improve on his current velocity.

All high school pitchers are projectable! Even Taillon is pojectable. It all comes down to who lives up to the potential and who doesn’t. You have to trust in what the scouts saw in them to want to draft the kid. Baseball drafts are just like hockey drafts they are crap shoots on high school kids. Every team drafts an obvious stud who does turn out great. Every team drafts an obvious stud who busts. Every team drafts a projectable player who busts and every team drafts a pojectible player who is the diamond in the rough and everyone complains on how their own team missed on an obvious star, along with every other team too! Give it a break
