LHP Daniel Cevette probably will be Pennsylvania's first high school pick. He has a lean, loose, projectable body with a quick arm and the makings of a solid breaking ball. His fastball is 87-88 mph, up from 83-85 last year, and scouts expect similar improvement down the road. Cevette is committed to George Mason and will command a significant bonus to bypass college.

Cevette was Pennsylvania's high school player of the year as a senior in 2002, when he signed for $400,000 as a third-round pick. The Indians have brought him along slowly, not promoting him to full-season ball until late July last year. He appeared to turn a corner after spending the previous offseason working out for six weeks with Shawn Estes and other veteran big league pitchers. Cevette has a big, athletic body with a loose arm and clean delivery. He consistently works down and away with good command of a 90-92 mph fastball. His out pitch is a plus changeup in which he has enough confidence to throw in any count. He has the makings of a solid curveball, but it gets slurvy at times and he needs to throw it more often to improve its effectiveness. He's still a bit of a project, and the Indians will challenge him with his first taste of high Class A this spring.
