Drafted in the 7th round (215th overall) by the Miami Marlins in 2006 (signed for $30,000).

Czyz led NCAA Division I with 18 saves entering the regional playoffs, including one in the 9-7 victory over Nebraska that capped Kansas' upset Big 12 Conference tournament championship. As a senior, Czyz boosted his fastball velocity to 91-93 mph while also improving his slider and changeup. His 6-foot-2, 200-pound body and arm action aren't ideal, but he throws strikes and competes like a bulldog. He could go in the fifth to seventh round as a senior sign. His younger brother Nick, a freshman lefty for the Jayhawks, should be a decent pick in a couple of years.
