    No pitcher has been drafted out of Rialto (Calif.) High since Ricky Nolasco in 2001. Vodnik is about to change that. The quick-armed, 5-foot-11 righthander popped up at the WWBA World Championships last fall throwing 95 mph and scouts stayed on him all year. Vodnik is raw and undersized, but his arm strength is undeniable. He sits at 92-93 mph and holds it well, and he touched 96 mph in the spring. His slider is self-taught and a little crude, but he flashes some above-average offerings at 84-87 mph. Vodnik received little development or coaching in Rialto, a poverty-stricken area with little baseball infrastructure, so he doesn't repeat his arm slot or release point and he needs a lot of coaching to smooth out his delivery. Vodnik is committed to Cal State Northridge but expected to sign. He projects as a two-pitch power reliever.
