View Draft Report
Six-foot-5, 230-pound LHP Mike Wlodarczyk was drafted in the 15th round by the Expos last summer, and made an astute decision to return for his senior year. He was moved from midweek starter to become Boston College's ace, and went 10-2, 2.96 with 83 strikeouts in 79 innings. Wlodarczyk developed a lot of confidence last summer in the Cape Cod League, going 4-0, 2.08 for Hyannis. He tightened up his release point and has developed command of four pitches, including a 91-92 mph fastball and a vastly improved curveball.
