View Draft Report
Dartmouth righthander Josh Faiola has seen his stock drop considerably since he impressed scouts by going 3-2, 1.14 with 40 strikeouts and four walks in 24 innings in the Cape Cod League in 2004. He dropped a dresser on his pitching hand helping a friend move last season, and the injury ultimately hurt his draft stock. Faiola throws three pitches for strikes: a two-seam fastball in the 87-89 mph range that bumps 90, an 82 mph slider and a developing changeup. His fastball and slider are not as good as they were two summers ago, although the slider remains his out pitch. He induces plenty of ground balls from his low three-quarters delivery, although he struck out just 38 batters in 70 innings this year. Faiola has a 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame but not much projection, and his college workload is a concern--he threw 145 pitches over 12 innings in one start this season.
