Mike Dennhardt

Boston College righthander Mike Dennhardt was considered the region's premier college pitcher before he also had Tommy John surgery early in the season. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder spent time in the Eagles rotation as a freshman in 2008, pitching for the first BC team to make regionals since 1967, and he had success in the Cape Cod League last summer. When healthy, Dennhardt sat at 92-94 mph with good plane on his fastball. He had an above-average curveball and a fringy changeup. Dennhardt, a 17th-round pick out of high school, could have been taken in the top five rounds this year, but now he'll likely return to Chestnut Hill.
