View Draft Report
The crop of college arms was so thin that a converted catcher from Tampa, Robert Leffler, also created interest and could be drafted as high as the eighth round. In his first year as a pitcher, Leffler has shown enough arm strength to bump 94 mph, and he's learning how to command an 85-87 mph slurve. His velocity and control are inconsistent, but his arm works well and his delivery is clean and on line.
