View Draft Report
Outfielder Houston Slemp redshirted at Arkansas in 2008 before transferring to Eastern Oklahoma State. Though overshadowed by Western Oklahoma State shortstop/righthander Andrelton Simmons and Connors State outfielder Marcus Knecht in the Oklahoma juco ranks this spring, Slemp drew attention by batting .410/.475/.820 with 18 homers and 26 steals. His lightning-quick hands give the 6-foot-1, 190-pounder impressive bat speed from the left side of the plate. He has solid-average speed and a fringy arm, so he'll move from center field to left at the next level.
