Drafted in the 16th round (501st overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2010.

Righthander Craig Fritsch jumped into the eighth round as a draft-eligible sophomore last year after throwing 93-96 mph at the Big 12 Conference tournament, but he ultimately turned down the Orioles and resumed his enigmatic career at Baylor. The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder has pitched with a lower arm slot in 2010, wasn't good early and worked at 87-91 mph for most the season. His slider and changeup are fringy, though he has thrown more strikes this spring. Fritsch redshirted as a freshman because he wasn't ready to compete in the Big 12, and scouts never have been sold on his mental toughness. His pro future likely will be as a reliever.
