View Draft Report
Butler is 6-foot, 180-pound lefthander with lots of arm strength but poor control. Butler's fastball sits 90-92 mph and touches 95. He complements it with a 78-81 mph curveball with bite when it's on. Butler's stuff is good enough to miss bats, but his control is well below-average and he struggles badly with walks. A team interested in his arm strength could take a flyer on him near the end of the draft.
