View Draft Report
The latest pitcher out of rising mid-major California Baptist, Culpepper moved from the bullpen to the rotation this spring and performed well but saw his stuff decline over longer stints. Culpepper's fastball sits 88-90 mph as a starter but ticks up to 91-95 mph in relief. His slider flashes above average out of the bullpen but plays down as a starter. Culpepper is a third-year sophomore and could go back to school to try and prove he can hold his stuff as a starter. Any team drafting him will likely move him back to the bullpen.
