Boston College lefthander Matt Meyer is the top prospect outside of the Northeastern contingent, but that's more a product of the lack of depth in the state than anything else. Meyer struggled in his limited experience as a starter and settled into a bullpen role for the Eagles, and that's how he projects in professional ball--as a lefty specialist. Meyer throws from a low three-quarters arm slot and uses a fastball/slider repertoire. He gets good movement on his 88-92 mph fastball that touches 93, and his slider is deceptive. He's tough on lefthanded hitters, but needs some work against righties.
