    Hunter Brown, college pitcher (89 by MLB.com) is the pick in the 5th. Our first pitcher of the day. Right handed

    Brown has a 92-96 fastball (up to 98) and holds it well. Sinker, slider, rudimentary changeup, potential starter profile. Division II All-American. Slider wavers between plus and below-average.

    9-0, 2.21 ERA, 85.1 IP, 62 H (2 HR allowed), 23 R (21 ER), 39 BB, 114 K, 1.19 WHIP, .203 opponent average

    #156 on Baseball America's top 500.

    Sounds like a raw guy with a great ceiling who needs refinement. Hope our staff can develop him well. Sounds promising.

    Round 6, Pick 196: Matthew Barefoot, CF, Campbell

    .311/.407/.570, 14 HR, 48 RBI, 59 R, 29 BB, 24 K, 25 SB (6 CS), .977 OPS

    Odd swing mechanics have worked for him. Probably going to be in a corner, but they're not drafting him for his defense.

    Matthew Barefoot. Yet another CF. And all three are "B" names too: Brewer, Barber, Barefoot.

    Barefoot and Brewer are both RH hitting LH throwing OFs. They join Jacob Meyers and Chas McCormick in the system with that distinction.

    Given his lack of improvement at Texas I did not see Henley going nearly this high in the draft. Hopefully there's something there and Pierce and company screwed the pooch on developing him.

    Yeah, hopefully there's something there. Also, the velo, which maxes at 92 per reports, needs to go up a few ticks, too.
