View Draft Report
RHP Asher Demme went head-to-head with Sborz early in the season, and the 6-foot-2, 195-pounder was no match for the more powerful Sborz. The matchup drew a huge contingent of scouts, and a pumped-up Demme tried to match Sborz pitch-for-pitch in the bullpen. He had nothing left in the game and his stock took a hit. He rebounded with his fastball working effectively at 88-91 mph, while touching 92. His raw power and strength should allow him to throw even harder. He also has a power curveball. Demme has had a difficult upbringing and should be an easy sign. He has committed to Chipola (Fla.) Junior College.
