View Draft Report
Potter generated buzz last fall when he pitched at 89-92 mph and touched 93-94 in scout ball, and flashed a decent three-quarters breaking ball. But he has regressed this spring, still bumping 93 mph at times but falling into the mid-80s by the third inning. He has struggled to throw strikes and miss bats, and his slurve has been inconsistent, though it flashes average. His changeup is developing, and he has some feel for it. His arm strength and 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame could still get him drafted in the eighth to 12th round, but many scouts seem content to let him go to UC Irvine.
