View Draft Report
Fant has a lot of similarities to former Arkansas lefty Dallas Keuchel, who reached the majors after just three seasons in the Astros system. At 6-foot-4, 185 pounds, he is leaner and longer than Keuchel, but he similarly pitches with below-average fastball velocity at 86-88 mph. He spots the fastball well and has shown an ability to get inside against righthanded hitters. His breaking ball is fringy, but he throws it for strikes and locates all his stuff well. Fant has the upside of a back-end starter but should be a solid senior sign.

Fant lost his spot in Arkansas' rotation for part of the season before regaining it in the final third of the season. The 6-foot-4, 185-pounder has good size and two average pitches at 88-91 mph and a solid changeup. His breaking ball remains below average, which hinders his ability to profile as a reliever.
