With a fastball that ranges from 90-95 mph and a splitter that's a legitimate swing-and-miss pitch, Phil Wetherell has the weapons to be an effective reliever in pro ball. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound righthander gets hit more than he should because he pitches up in the zone with his fastball and lacks an effective breaking ball. He has little effort in his delivery, but scouts worry about his one-piece arm action. He spent the first year of his college career at Kaskaskia (Ill.) CC and pitched just 29 innings as a sophomore, so he hasn't gotten a lot of exposure.
