Drafted in the 12th round (381st overall) by the Houston Astros in 2007.
View Draft Report
Brian Pellegrini was described by one scout as a statistical giant (.391/.498/.833 with 17 home runs and 59 RBIs this spring), but he's a giant in stature, too (6-foot-1, 240 pounds). He was the Bonnies' best pitcher as a freshman and played with a torn labrum in 2006 that eventually ended his pitching career. He has above-average raw power and an advanced approach, with the ability to identify breaking balls and see plenty of pitches. His body draws comparisons to Pete Incaviglia, but he's sneaky quick--he runs the 60-yard dash in 7.0 seconds.
