Draft Prospects
-
A reliable, lefthanded reliever for Notre Dame for three years, Vail made 27 appearances and led the team with a 3.90 ERA during his freshman year in 2018. He improved as a sophomore, when he led all relievers on the team with 44 innings and posted a 3.27 ERA while striking out a career-high 61 batters. His fastball gets plenty of whiffs despite only being in the low 90s, and he’s got a solid breaking ball to go with it. Scouts see him as a definite reliever at the next level. The 6-foot, 195-pound lefty had a history of poor strike-throwing ability prior to the 2020 season, but through 17.1 innings in 2020 walked just three batters (compared to 24 strikeouts) for a 1.6 per nine walk rate. Vail’s upside is limited, but his performance out of the bullpen was solid enough to make him a day three type prospect in a typical draft year.
