7 213 Ian Krol LHP Nequa Valley HS, Naperville, Ill. Ill.
Krol entered the year as the top-rated prospect in Illinois but never threw a
pitch for Neuqua Valley High. He was suspended for the entire season in March
after his second violation of the school's athletic code of conduct. He was
found in the presence of alcohol when police pulled over the driver of a car
Krol was riding in for suspicion of driving under the influence. After
performing well on the showcase circuit last summer, he has spent this spring
pitching in a scout league in Wisconsin on the weekends. Scouts who like him
project him as a lefty who'll have command of three average pitches, while
others hold his size, velocity and makeup concerns against him. Krol's out
pitch is his hard, two-plane curveball, and some scouts grade his changeup as
his second-best offering. He sat at 88-90 mph on the showcase circuit last
summer but has pitched more at 86-88 mph this spring. At 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds
, he doesn't project to add much more velocity, though he get s good sink on
his fastball from a low-three-quarters angle. Krol has committed to Arizona,
which will honor his scholarship despite his suspension. He projected as a
possible third-rounder at the start of the season but now figures to go closer
to the sixth round.

SCOUTING PROFILE (3/1): Krol positioned himself as the top prep pitching
prospect in the Upper Midwest for this year's draft by going 9-1, 0.98 with 111
K's in 57 innings as a junior. He also hit .479-4-25 as an outfielder when not
pitching. Krol is an athletic lefthander with a finesse approach to pitching
but also some power stuff that should only continue to improve with experience.
He worked mainly in the mid-80s at Perfect Game/World Wood Bat Association
events in 2006 and 2007, but blossomed during the last year to a point where he
regularly pitched at 89-90 mph and topped at 92. The factor that stood out most
of all, though, was Krol's pitching knowledge, particularly his ability to hide
the ball and mix up his pitches. He throws from a leg-lift delivery that has
some effort and head jerk at release, but that doesn't seem to affect his
command and consistency a bit. Krol has two quality off-speed pitches in
addition to his fastball, and all three pitches look identical coming out of
his hand. He pitches to spots with all of them. His mid-70s curveball is a
strikeout pitch as it has a hard, late bite that overmatches hitters. His
changeup has nice deception and arm speed at 80 mph. Krol pitches with a very
confident mound presence.-DAVID RAWNSLEY
