View Draft Report
At a listed 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, Savas has power-pitcher size. However, he relies more on deception, life and fastball location because his fastball sits in the 88-90 mph range with good arm-side run. He's had his Tommy John surgery, which caused him to miss the 2012 season, and he's taken every turn since then, including a 10-0, 1.79 season in 2013. He was 8-5, 2.10 this year as a redshirt junior. Savas effectively pitches inside, doesn't give up much hard contact and keeps his slider and changeup down in the zone, with the slider being the better of his secondary pitches.
