View Draft Report
Fox became an Internet celebrity this spring thanks to a clever pickoff move where he removed his cap with his right hand while he fired a pickoff throw with his left. The senior is crafty when he's pitching as well. Throwing in the high 80s, Fox doesn't have a plus pitch, but he's won 31 games in his career thanks to feel for pitching and location.

Draft Prospects

An eligible sophomore, Fox may not be drafted after putting out a high signability number. He's been Rice's ace this year, particularly after an injury to Jordan Stephens, who needed Tommy John surgery. The 6-foot-6, 220-pound Fox was 12-0, 1.38 heading into the postseason thanks to a sinking fastball in the 86-88 mph range and tremendous changeup that he uses to get early soft contact.
