View Draft Report

Anglin has been on draft radars for several years now, as a standout prospect out of high school in Ohio and as a draft-eligible sophomore with Clemson in the 2021 draft. The Nationals selected him in the 13th round, but he chose not to sign and returned to Clemson for his third season with the program. In 2022, Anglin posted a 4.48 ERA over 15 starts and 76.1 innings, with 78 strikeouts (22.6 K%) and 52 walks (15.1 BB%). That walk rate has always held Anglin back and leads scouts to believe he will be a reliever at the next level. Still, he is a spin-rate monster who throws a 92-94 mph fastball that touches 97 in the 2,400-2,600 rpm range and multiple breaking balls that are in the 3,000 rpm range. His go-to breaking ball this spring was a mid-80s slider that generated whiffs at a 31% rate, and he will also occasionally throw a slower curveball around 80 mph with more vertical movement.

Anglin was a talented high school prospect out of Ohio who showed big-time stuff over the summer showcase circuit in 2018 but fell down draft boards when his stuff backed up during his senior spring. Draft-eligible in his second year at Clemson, Anglin has continued to tantalize scouts with his high-end pure stuff, which includes a fastball that sits in the 93-95 mph range and has been up to 98 and a potential wipeout slider with elite spin characteristics. Anglin has been described as a Trackman monster because of his overall spin profile, but he’s never been able to consistently throw strikes. This spring, he walked 33 batters in 56.1 innings (5.3 BB/9) and his career walk rate with Clemson is more than six walks per nine. Those walks come alongside plenty of strikeouts (12.2 K/9 career rate), but scouts think his only pro role is out of the bullpen because of his control. Teams that like Anglin might like the 6-foot-4, 220-pound righty’s stuff enough to profile as a back-end reliever, though he’s spent most of his time as a starter in the ACC.
A physical righthander out of Ohio, Anglin showed big-time raw stuff over the summer, headlined by a fastball that sat in the low 90s with heavy arm-side run and got into the mid-90s at its best. Additionally, Anglin broke out a breaking ball that projected as an average pitch in the 73-80 mph range and flashed two-plane break with good depth, but at times he struggled to stay on top of the pitch. He also showcased a low-80s changeup that had potential. This spring, scouts haven't seen the same top-end stuff out of Anglin and also wonder about his chances to start in the future, as he throws from a low three-quarter slot, has a long arm action with an inconsistent release point and has shown below-average control. Anglin is expected to be a tough sign out of Clemson, and given his spring and the fact that he's older for the class, it might be tough for teams to buy him out in a signable range this June. But if he performs in the ACC, he has the raw stuff and the frame to shoot up draft boards in a few years with more refinement.
