View Draft Report
At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, righthander Josh Dew has always had the physical attributes of a pitching prospect, but he had been used primarily as a hitter prior to his senior season at Troy. Dew has dealt his way in to the top 10 rounds thanks to a 90-92 mph fastball that has plus sink. He works from a low-three-quarters arm slot that creates deception, especially against righthanded hitters. His sweepy slider is below-average and doesn't have enough depth or bite to serve as a legitimate second offering in pro ball. He's a strike thrower and has an aggressive approach, which helped him rack up 90 strikeouts in 60 innings.
