View Draft Report
A 6-foot-2, 215-pound righthander, Austin has pitched in just 44.1 innings over the last three years with Houston Baptist and Houston Christian, though he flashed swing-and-miss stuff after the season with Portland in the West Coast League. Austin threw just 10 innings there, but he struck out 20 batters and walked two, while pitching in the mid-90s and touching 98 with a swing-and-miss changeup in the low 80s and a slider around 80 with impressive late turning action.
