    Six-foot-2, 210-pouind LHP Zach Zuercher is the best of three draftable arms at Rhode Island. A Rhode Island high school product, he spent his freshman year at North Carolina before returning home and becoming the Atlantic-10 Conference's pitcher of the year as a sophomore. He didn't have as dominating a season as in 2004, when he set school records with nine complete games and four shutouts, but Zuercher has four pitches he can throw for strikes. His curveball is his most effective pitch. His fastball normally ranges from 84-88 mph, but it touched 90.
