Draft Prospects

Poston is a 6-foot-4, 235-pound righthander who spent two seasons with Florence-Darlington (S.C.) JC before transferring to UNC and pitching well out of the bullpen for two seasons. This spring he posted a 5.12 ERA over 38.2 innings with a 28.7% strikeout rate and 12% walk rate. He throws his 93-mph fastball nearly 80% of the time and the pitch will touch 97 mph at peak velocity with solid riding life. Poston’s go-to secondary is a mid-80s changeup that he does a nice job killing spin with and features late tumbling action. He seems to struggle to spin the baseball and almost never throws a breaking pitch.
