View Draft Report
Righthander Mike Ojala had a chance to go in the top five rounds of the 2009 draft, but that went by the wayside when he tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. He postponed Tommy John surgery until after the season, winning games in the Conference USA tournament and the regionals before going under the knife. The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder has made a swift comeback, regaining his trademark hammer curveball and his 87-91 mph fastball. His curve is good enough that it alone could make him an effective big league reliever. After turning down the Brewers as a 34th-round pick a year ago, he could go in the top 10 rounds as a quality senior sign.
