View Draft Report
A key piece to North Carolina's bullpen, Orlan had a little bit of interest as a Virginia high schooler in 2009 and was drafted in the 44th round by the Dodgers. Scouts believed he could become a good lefty reliever or specialist, and he's become just that after three years with the Tar Heels. In 36 appearances (54 innings) he was 8-1, 2.01 with 62 strikeouts and 10 walks. He pitches with an 88-90 mph fastball that can touch 91-92. Despite being 6-feet, he pitches downhill fairly well. He mixes in a good, hard-breaking curveball and a rare changeup.
