School: Utah Valley Source: 4YR
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 22.9
Anderson is a 6-foot-4, 185-pound senior righthander who has pitched with four different programs since entering college. After a few seasons in the juco ranks, Anderson pitched with Utah Valley this spring, where he turned in his most complete season. He pitched as a starter and reliever and posted a 3.53 ERA over 63.2 innings, with a 30.3% strikeout rate and 8.8% walk rate. He sits 92-93 mph with his fastball and has been up to 96 with the pitch and throws it with fringe-average control and below-average command. Anderson also has a low-to-mid-80s slider that generated a 46% miss rate this spring, and mixes in a mid-80s changeup—though he used the pitch just 6% of the time. He turns 23 shortly after the draft and could be a day two money saver or a day three pick on pure talent. For teams with the unique combination of valuing performance highly but not weighing age, his No. 9 FIP (3.57) among Division I arms could be appealing.
