    Brandon Hynick was more concerned about his health than his draft status at the season's outset. He had an appendectomy, which led to a slow start to his junior season, and he had never sustained much success in college as an underclassman. By May, his fastball velocity had exceeded what it was last fall and his command was coming around. He's been up to 93 mph and pitches off his fastball. Hynick is a good athlete and split his time between first base and the mound. His delivery is both simple and unrefined. His split-finger fastball and curveball are below-average pitches. Hynick has good makeup, and thanks to his upside he should be drafted in the eighth to 12th round.
