Austin Rubick

Rubick was drafted by the Indians in the 27th round out of high school in 2015. He began his college career at Arizona before transferring back to his hometown and attending Ventura (Calif.) JC. Rubick features a 92-93 mph fastball but it is extremely straight. He also has poor control. As a result he got knocked around for a 6.32 ERA in his lone season on the JC circuit, although he did average more than a strikeout per inning. Evaluators largely do not feel Rubick has improved since high school, but his arm strength and previous familiarity have teams checking in on him. He is committed to Hawaii.
