View Draft Report
At 6-foot-5 and 200 pounds, Rascon is a lefthander whose best days on the mound are still ahead of him. He doesn’t have the present velocity teams really look for, but there’s reason to believe that his 87-90 mph fastball that touches 92 will add 3-4 mph more velocity over the next few years. With a low three-quarter arm slot, Rascon gives lefthanded hitters a tough look, and he’s started to more consistently locate a slurvy slider. A team drafting Rascon right now may have to view him as a two-year Rookie-ball player, as it will take time for his body to mature and his velocity to pick up. He’s committed to Oklahoma State.
