Drafted in the 19th round (583rd overall) by the Kansas City Royals in 2016 (signed for $102,500).
View Draft Report
Falwell was undrafted both after his high school career in Tucson and his first season at Cochise JC. A strong sophomore year with the Apaches in which the 6-foot-5 righty posted an impressive 11.6 strikeouts per nine innings has put him on the radar as a possible top 10 rounds pick. Falwell commands three pitches and throws strikes with a loose arm, delivering a fastball that sits 88-91 mph and projected average slider and changeup. His three-quarters delivery could stand to be cleaned up as he finishes with a head whack, but it doesn't affect his ability to throw strikes. Observers note that at times he lacks aggressiveness on the mound.
