Arizona Diamondbacks Draft Review

Arizona Diamondbacks
1) Barret Loux, RHP, Texas A&M: A surprise pick likely for signability
reasons, Loux is big, throws 90-93, and mixes in effective secondary
offerings with good command. He has some injury risk, and I think he was a
stretch at sixth-overall.
2) J.R. Bradley, RHP, West Virginia HS: Very projectable, Bradley already
throws hard at 90 MPH and more velocity should come as he fills out his body.
He already has decent control but needs more development in general. However,
I rather like Bradley and see this as a solid pick in the second round.
3) Robby Rowland, RHP, California HS: Like Bradley, Rowland is very
projectable and athletic, and will likely throw harder than his current 88-90
as he matures. I like this pick, too.
4) Kevin Munson, RHP, James Madison: Munson was lights out as a college
closer with his 90-93 MPH heater and wicked slider. He can be overpowering,
and should move through the system quickly as a relief option.
5) Cody Wheeler, LHP, Coastal Carolina: Great results in college, but
scouting opinion is mixed, can hit 90 MPH and show a good breaking ball and
changeup on his best days. Has some sleeper potential.
6) Blake Perry, RHP, Florida HS: Another tall, thin, projectable arm with
decent present stuff and the chance for more.
7) Jeff Shields, RHP, Chattahoochee Valley CC: He can hit 95 MPH and was
overpowering at times this spring, but is still working to refine his game. I
like the upside though, and he's athletic.
8) Tyler Green, RHP, Texas HS: Athletic, throws hard (92-94), but his
undersized body (6-1) kept him from earlier rounds. He has considerable
potential, if signable away from college at Texas Christian.
9) Zach Walters, SS, University of San Diego: Considered a promising hitter
with good athleticism, an injury-plagued spring kept him from going earlier
in the draft.
10) Kawika Emsley-Pai, C, Lewis-Clark State: Another injury casualty who
could have gone higher if healthy, has potential on both offense and defense
if his back problems let him.
FOUR OTHERS OF NOTE: 13-Kevin Ziomek, LHP, Massachusetts HS; 14-Ty Linton,
OF, North Carolina HS; 17-Derek Eitel, RHP, Rose-Hulman College; 22-Jeremy
Erben, RHP, Oklahoma
COMMENT: Loux looks like an overdraft at the top, but there is method to the
madness: the money saved there can go to luring Bradley, Rowland, Perry, and
Green from attending college, and it isn't like Loux is a bad prospect; he's
very good. If they manage to snare Ziomek too, so much the better. I really
like this collection of projectable arms. There isn't much hitting here, but
they drafted that last year.
