View Draft Report
Generating greater buzz early in the year was Orange Coast's Kyle Harper, who was pounding the strike zone with 92-94 mph heat. Harper started his college career at Fresno State as a baseball walk-on, turning his back on a possible football career (he was an all-area quarterback and linebacker), but he had elbow problems that required Tommy John surgery. After recovering, Harper transferred to Orange Coast to get innings and enter the draft but injured his elbow again and had to have a second TJ procedure. He likely will head to Long Beach State and hope to stay healthy.
