    O'Flaherty put himself on the map last fall at the Arizona Fall Classic in Peoria, Ariz., where his fastball touched 93 mph. Scouts haven't seen the same velocity this spring. It was down to 86 at one point, but he's since returned to 89-91, touched 92 and held it for seven innings. His arm action may need tinkering but he has a feel for a breaking ball. O'Flaherty was talked up in March as a possible second- or third-rounder, but he's now likely to go a round or two lower. A commitment to Oregon State is not likely to alter that projection. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder has a lanky, athletic frame that projects well.
