View Draft Report
Lail, an Arizona recruit, has a thin build at 6-foot-3 and 170 pounds. He'll flash above-average velocity but usually settles into the 85-88 mph range. The hand speed is there though, as Lail shows an above-average curveball and mixes in an occasional changeup. He has some effort in his delivery and the ball looks like it jumps out of his hand.

The Yankees lured Lail away from an Arizona commitment in 2012 with a $225,000 bonus, the largest bonus awarded in the 18th round that year. Since then, Lail has made a quiet but efficient ascent up the Yankees' ladder. He's climbed four levels in the last two years, including a 2015 season that began with one start at high Class A Tampa and culminated with seven at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Evaluators both internally and externally praise Lail for his intelligence on the mound and pitchability. His arsenal starts with a fastball in the 88-92 mph range, with peaks at higher velocities at times, and occasional cutting action. He backs it with a sharp curveball in the mid-70s as well as a changeup. He's still developing his feel on the latter, though it has earned plus grades in the past. Triple-A hitters had little trouble with him. Scouts praise his competitiveness and the way he commands the ball down in the zone. He's got a future in the mold of an Adam Warren, and will return to Triple-A in 2016 for more polish.
