Drafted in the 8th round (231st overall) by the Cleveland Guardians in 2013 (signed for $10,000).
View Draft Report
Frank was solid in the Riverside rotation as a sophomore and junior, but he has thrived as the Highlanders' closer this spring, going 4-2, 2.55 with nine saves and a 43-9 strikeout-walk mark through 42 innings. Undersized at 6 feet and 175 pounds, Frank has a quick arm that produces 90-93 mph velocity, peaking at 94-95 on occasion. His heater has some run, and he commands it well. His slider has sharp, late break, grading as a slightly above-average pitch. Frank's smallish build limits his upside, but his stuff and competitiveness play well in the bullpen, and he should be drafted in the top 10 rounds as a money-saving senior.
