View Draft Report
After helping his Metairie team win the 2006 American Legion World Series, righthander Robbie Broach won the Bob Feller Award as the top pitcher at the event. He joined a distinguished list of recipients that includes big leaguers such as Sid Fernandez, Gregg Olson, Ben Sheets and Chad Billingsley. Broach is just 6 feet and 190 pounds and uses a lot of effort in his delivery, but when he's going well he features an 88-91 mph fastball and a plus curveball. His stock dipped as his stuff faded late in the spring, which combined with a seven-figure price tag make it likely he'll attend Tulane.
