    View Draft Report
    Civale put himself on the radar with a strong showing in an exhibition game against the Red Sox during a spring training trip in his sophomore year. Civale followed up a strong sophomore spring with an otherwordly season out of the bullpen for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks in the Cape Cod League last summer. Civale transitioned to the rotation as a junior, and the results have been exceptional. Through 114.1 innings, he had struck out 121 and walked just 15, pitching to a 1.73 ERA. He's a well-built starting pitching prospect at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds. Civale has a clean, compact delivery that he repeats well. Civale pitches with control of an average fastball, and his hard, tight breaking ball enables him to get swings and misses.
