Hunter Green: tossed a no-hitter last May, striking out 20.

[greginpsca]

High schooler. a bit surprising.

[SoWhat]

I like Green, Mayo says he has first round talent and is comparable to Chris Sale

[bloodbrother]

Angels going with the younger higher ceiling guy over a college arm? Dude is a long way away from reachin the bigs, that's for sure

I hope the comparison isn't for their mechanics, but rather their stuff

Isn't that typically how they draft?

Not for this draft, but they couldn't pass this guy up given that he was still available

[greginpsca]

Anyone know where this guy is commited to go to school?

Left-handed pitcher Hunter Green is one of the youngest players entering the 2013 MLB draft, making him an exciting pitcher with plenty of projectability, but one far away from making an impact at the major-league level.

Green's best pitch is his fastball, as his off-speed pitches need some work. The starter is still growing into his body, which makes some scouts hopeful that he can add more velocity as he continues to mature. The 17-year-old also needs to work on his command, but any team that selects the starter will give him plenty of opportunities to improve.

The southpaw is committed to the University of Kentucky, so he does have the option of joining the college ranks if he does not come to an agreement with whatever team drafts him.

Sounds like another cj wilson

Yeah usually, and I don't have a problem with it. Was asking if he has a higher ceiling than some of the college arms available there, since I haven't done any research on the draftees

Baseball America: " He throws from a low three-quarters arm angle and gets good armside run on his fastball, which appears even quicker because he throws with such little effort...

 

Looks like both

[Scott34]

Something must be wrong with Wahl and Balog.

They must think Green is more projectable, and that when he fills out (he is 6'4"/175), his fastball might improve.

Balrog gone at 70

His fastball should be better than CJ's.
