Aaron Watson

Analysis
Watson might be safer than the typical prep righty, as he has a great feel for pitching, a simple, repeatable delivery and his fastball only sits in the low 90s at the time of the draft. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound hurler from Florida has improved his stock, with his fastball touching 96 mph this spring and his slider emerging as his go-to breaking ball. He hasn't needed his changeup much, but Watson's advanced pitchability and command of his full arsenal suggest he'll have the aptitude to excel with pro instruction. He could be wielding a mid-90s fastball that can tick up even higher on occasion within a couple of years.
