View Draft Report
School: Vanderbilt
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age at Draft: 21.8
Futrell stood out in high school for his projectable frame and advanced feel for pitching. Now listed at 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, Futrell has lived up to his reputation as a strike thrower, and managed a sub-6% walk rate in each of his two seasons with Vanderbilt. Futrell is still light on swing-and-miss stuff, however, with a fastball that averaged 89-90 mph and has been up to 94, a changeup around 80, an upper-70s slurvy breaking ball and a slower curveball in the mid 70s that he used ust 5% of the time in 2023.

School: Vanderbilt Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.8
Futrell stood out in high school for his projectable frame and advanced feel for pitching. Now listed at 6-foot-5, 218 pounds, Futrell has lived up to his reputation as a strike-thrower, and managed a 5.3% career walk rate in three seasons pitching as a starter for Vanderbilt. This spring he posted a 5.40 ERA over 48.1 innings and 10 starts, with a 21.2% strikeout rate and 4.8% walk rate. Futrell’s pure stuff is a bit light, as he pitches with an 89-91 mph fastball that touches 94 along with a low-spin slurvy breaking ball in the upper 70s. His upper-70s changeup was his go-to secondary this spring and his best whiff pitch, but nothing Futrell throws at the moment looks like a real above-average offering. His strong foundation of control and ability to fill up the zone with multiple pitches could help him start if he can unlock a bit more power.
