    Ray looked like a possible first-round pick based on his performance as a set-up man in the Cape Cod League last summer. But he got off to slow start in Texas A&M's rotation this spring, costing him support from scouts and earning him a temporary demotion to the bullpen. Ray bounced back in April, showing the same 90-93 mph fastball with late, explosive life he had on the Cape. He also flashed a plus curveball and an effective changeup. He needs to avoid overthrowing his curve and continue refining his changeup. There's deceptive strength in his long, lean frame and he throws with little effort, so there's no reason he can't start as a pro. Ray was making a late push for the supplemental first round, but hurt his momentum when he didn't pitch well in a mid-May showdown with Baylor's Mark McCormick.
