2016 State Draft Report: Iowa

CROP RATING
	Not up to par
Rating compares this year’s group to what a state typically produces, not to other states

 

Players drafted in 2015: 10.

There are a number of years where no player from Iowa is selected in the first 10 rounds. So by those standards, this is a pretty standard year for the state. The Iowa Hawkeyes have a number of seniors who could be solid senior signs and Spencer Van Scoyoc gives the state a projectable lefty who could blossom into a premium pick in a few years.

ADDITIONAL SCOUTING REPORTS

Spencer Van Scoyoc, lhp, Jefferson High, Cedar Rapids, Iowa – Van Scoyoc is a projectable lefty who sits 86-89 mph now with the feel for spinning a breaking ball. The curveball could end up as a plus pitch. He’s signed with Arizona State.

Nick Roscetti, ss, Iowa – A senior sign, Roscetti is a light-hitting but reliable defensive shortstop who fits a utilty profile in pro ball.

Tyler Peyton, rhp, Iowa – A reliable lefty with average stuff, Peyton is a senior sign who could eat innings.

Matt Lloyd, of, Iowa Western CC – Lloyd is an athletic outfielder with a good arm and average power potential. If he makes it to Indiana he could be a two-way player as he’s 86-89 mph off the mound.

Jared Gates, of, Iowa Western CC – Gates’ lack of a clear defensive home other than left field may help him make it to Arkansas, but he can hit. He hit .434/.478/.764 this year and rarely gets fooled.
