Righthander T.J. Large, a fourth-year junior motivated to sign, figures to be the first Crimson Tide player drafted due to his arm strength, ability to throw his breaking ball for strikes and durability. Large was viewed as a better prospect in junior college in Florida (he's been drafted twice before), but since coming to Alabama he's had a torn lateral muscle that prompted him to take a medical redshirt last season. He's come back with a less powerful but effective breaking ball and average velocity, where he used to touch 92-93 mph. Still, he's impressed with his competitiveness and should be picked on the draft's first day.
