Power arm. Likely a reliever.  Turned 21 in April.

Another trend of Orioles drafted pitchers with stuff over results. Looks like bullpen arm to me.

Really cut down on the walks his junior year, while increasing Ks (HR rate jump though)

High ERA.

Gets hit pretty hard, 13 HRs in 62IP. 10.7 K/9 this season, 10.1 for his career at Auburn. I don't hate the pick. Doesn't walk a ton but gives up hits.

If you wait until the 4th rd, this is what happens. He could be an outlier, but I don't want a middle reliever as our first pitcher taken.

Stuff over results. That's the kind of arm you target in a draft like this one.

HRs are likely a by-product of throwing more strikes this year. Seems to have the "stuff", but likely a RP which is fine with me.

Trace Bright at Auburn - 140 IP of 6.00 ERA and 149/63 K/BB

Chase Allsup at Auburn - 140 IP of 5.10 ERA and 159/66 K/BB

Yep. I’m good with relievers in these rounds.  I think taking guys who maybe are under the radar because they were failed starters is a good strategy. May even be able to save a little money here as well.

Thanks.  I couldn't think of who the prior Auburn pitcher was.  Interesting how they compare too.
