View Draft Report
A Fresno State commit, Downey has mostly flown under the radar, but some scouts are intrigued by his projectable 6-foot-4, 180-pound frame and athleticism. He has shown 89-91 mph velocity with sink this spring and has a chance to throw harder as he matures. He has the makings of a promising slider with some power and depth, but it is very inconsistent at this stage. Llanes is just raw; his delivery has improved since the fall but still has a ways to go. And he'll need to develop a third pitch to stick as a starter. Llanes is likely to wind up at Fresno State, where he could blossom into a quality prospect in three years.
