Mason Englert

Every year the draft has a number of projectable young pitchers whose "arrows are pointing up" according to scouts. Englert is one of those, as he has the look and developing stuff of a future mid-rotation starter, even if it requires some projection right now. He can touch 94-95 with his fastball at times, but he has generally pitched at 88-90 mph. He's a skinny 6-foot-5 with the frame to fill out over the next few years. Englert throws a promising slider and curveball that both need refinement and currently grade as fringy, but they flash enough to project into future above-average offerings. If Englert gets to Texas A&M it's easy to see him developing into a potential first rounder in a few years, but an aggressive team could try to pay him enough now to skip the three-year wait.
