View Draft Report
When Ryan Anetsberger arrived at Illinois State, he was a wiry shortstop with a good glove and a questionable bat. Now he's a strong 6-foot-1, 210-pound third baseman. He has gap power and uses the whole field at the plate, and he has a solid arm and defensive skills at the hot corner. He has helped his cause with strong summer performances, winning the MVP award at the 2005 National Baseball Congress World Series and holding his own in the Cape Cod League last year. Anetsberger missed time this spring when a bad hop broke his nose and initially came back as a DH/outfielder, but he returned to third base by the end of the season.
