Here are A's Draft picks from Day 2

After making two selections on Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft, starting with Florida State left-hander Jamie Arnold at No. 11 overall, the A's continued to replenish their organizational pitching depth on Day 2 Monday by selecting pitchers with 10 of their final 16 picks.

“We always kind of work under the premise of best available player is where we go,” A’s scouting director Eric Kubota said. “If it was close, we probably leaned to the pitcher in a lot of cases this time. We feel like we can use some depth on the pitching side, and there were a lot of pitchers we liked that we thought were good guys to take a chance on.”

Here's a breakdown of the A's Day 2 picks:

Gavin Turley, OF (4th Round, No. 110 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: Oregon State
Calling card: A ton of raw power, which some scouts hang a 70 grade on, that showed through in 2024 with 19 home runs at OSU. Turley’s above-average speed helps him cover ground on defense, where he is considered an asset in the outfield with a plus arm that should fit well in one of the corners. Swing-and-miss potential remains a concern, but he also draws a ton of walks to help offset that.
Quote: “The power has always been there. He hit a ton of homers as a sophomore and a better overall season this year. He can really throw. The right field, athletic, run-producing profile.” -- MLB Pipeline’s Jonathan Mayo

Zane Taylor, RHP (5th Round, No. 141 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: UNC Wilmington
Calling card: Good command on a fastball that jumped up 3 mph this spring; misses bats with his ability to locate it well up in the zone. Considered pretty much a finished product with a long history of throwing strikes -- after conference play, he led NCAA Division I in strikeout-to-walk ratio and WHIP, was second in walk rate and third in ERA -- Taylor projects, at the very least, as a back-of-the-rotation starter.
Quote: “He’s one of the top senior arms available in this year’s Draft. He was a finesse guy, but the stuff jumped this year. Fastball 92-95 and up to 98. Four-pitch mix. A ton of strikes. A ton of performance. Very nice pickup here for the A’s.” -- MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis

Grant Richardson, LHP (6th Round, No. 170 overall)
Bats/throws: R/L
School: Grand Canyon University
Calling card: Missed the entire 2025 season as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but was throwing a fastball that sat around 93 mph and topped out at 97 before the injury. Had the highest strikeout rate per nine innings in GCU's history at 12.43 (min. 50 innings) in 2024. Was set to transfer to Ole Miss for 2026.
Quote: “There are some interesting pieces here. Another big lefty. We mentioned the velocity. He’s got a pretty solid, short slider that’s got some bite to it. Not a real third pitch so far, so maybe he ends up in the bullpen, especially given the Tommy John surgery.” -- Mayo

Logan Sauve, C (7th Round, No. 200 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: West Virginia
Calling card: Durability was on full display this season as he started at catcher for 53 of his 54 games and racked up a ton of accolades, including a spot on the All-Big 12 First Team. Some raw power that scouts believe he could tap into more as he progresses and projects as a good backup catcher at the next level.
Quote: “He’s an interesting guy. He caught pretty much every game for West Virginia last year. He played through an injury. I think that kind of toughness and durability behind the plate is what a lot of teams want to see there. He sits and receives well. He blocks decently. The arm is fine. It’s more hit over power, but he’s strong.” – Mayo

Corey Braun, LHP (8th Round, No. 230 overall)
Bats/throws: L/L
School: South Florida
Calling card: Good command from the left side and racked up 97 strikeouts this season for USF. Good fastball up to 94 mph with a high-spin slider that can miss bats.
Quote: “Fastball right around 91-92 mph and breaking ball that can miss some bats. Some feel for the changeup as well” – Mayo

Daniel Bucciero, 3B (9th Round, No. 260 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: Fordham
Calling card: Took home Fordham’s team MVP award this season as the only player to start all 58 games after batting a career-best .320 and posting career-highs in runs (54), hits (72), RBIs (37), walks (34) and stolen bases (35) He also tied for the team lead in home runs (8). Good bat-to-ball skills and makes plenty of had contact.
Quote: “He’s an interesting guy and another set of twins. His brother, Matthew, is also a solid player. Daniel is young for a junior, only 20. Not any huge plus tools, but good bat-to-ball skills. Makes good swing decisions with hard contact. Probably a corner outfielder. He can run well and steal bases.” – Mayo

Samuel Dutton, RHP (10th Round, No. 290 overall)
Bats/throws: L/R
School: Auburn
Calling card: Decent velocity on his fastball that enhanced by his strong ability to mix up all four of his pitches well. Made 16 starts for Auburn this season and racked up 95 strikeouts in 85 2/3 innings while posting a 4.31 ERA.
Quote: “He throws a lot of strikes. He changes shapes well on his pitches. Fastball sits around 92. He’s got a slow curveball and a harder slider. He’ll mix in a changeup. It’s a kitchen sink type of guy. You’ll never what’s coming out of his hand when he lets it go.” – Callis

Bobby Boser, SS (11th Round, No. 320 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: Florida
Calling card: Right-handed hitter who does damage and still has plenty of power he could still tap into with an ability to drive the ball out to all fields, though there are some swing-and-miss concerns. Profiles a productive super-utility type.
Quote: "He's got great make-up. I think he's just tough as nails. We led off Wyatt [Langford] in the past, too, and he wasn't your traditional guy. But even though he's got a bit of strikeouts, his on-base percentage is pretty good." – Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan, to The Gainesville Times

Alex Barr, LHP (12th Round, No. 350 overall)
Bats/throws: L/L
School: Kankakee Valley HS (Indiana)
Calling card: Fastball that has been clocked up to 95 and helped him rack up 76 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings while posting a 0.57 ERA as a senior.

Bryan Arendt, C (13th Round, No. 380 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: UNC Wilmington
Calling card: Defense-first catcher who hit a career-best .279 this season with seven home runs.

Griffin Kirn, LHP (14th Round, No. 410 overall)
Bats/throws: L/L
School: West Virginia
Calling card: Fastball tops out around 91-92 and serves as his strikeout pitch with added perceived velocity from his three-quarter angle.
Quote: “Thankfully I became really close with the coaching staff here and they really helped me get better. The difference from Quincy was just all the resources I was exposed to here. The resources just helped me learn more about my game.” – Kirn to WGEM News on transferring from Quincy University to West Virginia for the 2025 season

Diego Rosa, C (15th Round, No. 440 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: International Baseball Academy HS (Puerto Rico)

Jared Davis, SS (17th Round, No. 500 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: Virginia Tech
Calling card: Good athlete who was previously an outfielder before moving to shortstop upon transferring to Virginia Tech for the 2025 season. Solid pop and projects as a utility player.

Jay Dill, RHP (18th Round, No. 530 overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: Troy University

Bats/throws: R/R
