View Draft Report
A skinny 6-foot-3 righthander, Weatherly managed to go 9-2, 2.62 in a league where a 5.00 ERA is a good showing. Grayson's team ERA was 5.54 and Grayson's opponents posted an 8.86 ERA. Weatherly is a redshirt sophomore who is committed to LSU for next year if he doesn't sign with a pro club. Weatherly generally does a good job of controlling an 91-93 mph fastball and a average slider. He profiles best in pro ball right now as a reliever. Weatherly will turn 22 in October, so he's as old as most college juniors, but there's still room for him to fill out more. If he can add some more strength and continue to refine his below-average changeup, there's a chance he could remain a starter.
