View Draft Report
An all-state two-way player at Charlotte's Providence High, DeJuneas has played both ways for N.C. State and emerged as a potential first-rounder as a freshman closer for the Wolfpack. He struck out 57 in 39.2 innings while posting a 1.82 ERA and pumping his fastball up to 96 mph in 2015 and even got innings with USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team. However, he's struggled with command since then (42 BB in 61.2 IP) and has backed off his velocity in an effort to throw more strikes as a junior. He's flashed above-average secondary pitches in both his changeup and slider in the past. At 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, he's fairly athletic but has yet to harness his fast arm consistently.
