Lefthander Isaiah Froneberger was one of the most enjoyable players to watch. A hard-nosed sparkplug who plays center field when he's not on the mound, Froneberger has potential to develop into a reliable situational reliever. At 5-foot-8 and 196 pounds, he draws comparisons to Ray King. He has a compact delivery and plenty of arm strength. When he came out flashing a 90-92 mph fastball he was making a move up draft boards, but his velocity was more often in the 86-88 range as the season went on. He also lacks projection, making it tough to take him in the first five rounds. His breaking ball is a legitimate weapon, though. It's a hard downer with tight spin and plus depth at 76-79 mph. Froneberger was considered signable in the top eight rounds and should go off the board by then.
