DRAFT TOMORROW
cont...

Closer

1.Leon Savala (18 years old, 7/7/7 over 7/7/7)
--Just an overpowering fastball and wicked curveball, this kid is going to be something special. Will have no problems finishing games for the right club. Excellent groundball capability. If needed, can swing the bat just as well as any pitcher.

2.Thomas Weldy (17 years old, 8/5/7 over 8/5/7)
--Can pitch some middle relief as well as close, but is much suited for closing as he really only has two pitches: fastball and changeup. Poor fielder, but won't be on the field all that much.

3.James Jenks (24 years old, 8/6/7 over 8/6/7)
--Dominant during the 3 day tryout. Would not give up a hit. Topped out at 97 MPH and blows it by hitters, keeping them off balance with a nasty curveball. Ends up with more flyballs than ground outs.

Other names to look for:
Lynwood Bradley (8/4/7 over 8/4/7)
Henry Hinrichs (7/6/5 over 7/6/5)
Manual Suarez (7/6/7 over 7/6/7)
