    Collins attends the same high school as Trevor Bauer did and mimics his forebear, emulating Bauer's herky-jerky delivery, using the same weighted-ball training regimen and studying the analytics of pitching as Bauer does. Collins delivered Bauer-esque results as well, going 6-2, 0.98 and throwing a 14-strikeout no-hitter as a senior. Collins is smaller framed at 6-foot-1, 180 pounds. He has a quick arm and a fastball that sits 89-91 mph and touches 93, but his velocity drops off after about two innings. He has two different-shaped breaking balls in the low 80s that project average to above-average. Collins' three-pitch mix intrigues, but his control and pitchability are behind some of his draft peers. Combined with his lack of durability, most evaluators are content to let Collins go to college rather than meet his expensive bonus demands. He is committed to Arizona.
