Age At Draft: 21.4
Voelker is a physical righthander with a 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame who had a dominant season with Northern Essex (Mass.) JC and led all D-III junior college pitchers with 126 strikeouts. He posted a 1.48 ERA over 61 innings and nine starts and has a chance for a plus or better fastball and an above-average curveball. There’s risk that he winds up in the bullpen because he’s primarily a two-pitch arm with a sparingly-used curveball and below-average control, but his standout season and quality two-pitch mix could make him an exciting day three target. Voelker also pitched in the Cape Cod League following the spring season.
