Spencer Van Scoyoc

Van Scoyoc has long been a promising lefty, but there’s reason to worry whether he’s going to throw enough strikes for it to matter. Spencer was a 19th-round pick of Blue Jays out of high school. He decided to head to Arizona State, but in two years with the Sun Devils he walked more than a batter an inning as a freshman and as a sophomore. He transferred to Division II Central Oklahoma this year and walked more than a batter an inning. Van Scoyoc sits 90-92 mph with an easy delivery and his breaking ball flashes plus. While those are good starting points, his 6.18 ERA, 44 walks and 42 strikeouts in 39.1 innings this year are reminders that his bottom-of-the-scale control will have to dramatically improve.
