When you are big, strong, righthanded and throw 95 mph, people want to see you miss bats and rack up strikeouts. Of course, the big leagues are littered with pitchers who are not “strikeout” pitchers, but yet that is still what all scouts are seeking at the amateur level. And, it’s something that’s been examined very thoroughly with Alabama righthander Spencer Turnbull. He has those requisite attributes mentioned above, and he’s performed well at the college level, but the question has remained as to whether he can consistent miss bats at the next level, or the college level for that matter. So far in 2014, he’s answering that question fairly emphatically.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.
