Mitchell Stone

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #425 prospect in 2019 draft
  Stone is the rare draft-eligible freshman at a Division I school. He received a medical redshirt last season thanks to a broken foot that cost him most of the season and he's 21, so he's available for the draft. Stone has made significant strides in figuring out his delivery and his velocity has improved to 90-93 mph. He also has a promising slider and changeup, although neither is an average pitch. A member of the Cowboys' weekend rotation when the season began, he was bounced to limited use in the bullpen after five starts. As a long-levered lefty, Stone does not yet consistently repeat his delivery and has below-average control, but there's plenty of promise. Now a team has to decide how willing it is willing to pay for potential to a pitcher with three further years of eligibility (and thus plenty of leverage).
