BA gives a heads up on 3 college pitchers whose draft stock seems to be on the rise:
Braden Shipley, RHP, Nevada. 6'3", 190 lbs. Shipley throws his FB in the mid 90's and already has a plus changeup and a developing breaking ball. Usually the change is the last to come, so he's got a leg up already. He as the Wolfpack's ace last year with a 2.20 ERA, 88 K's in 98 IP albeit with 40 BB's. So far this season, he's gone 1-0, 3.21, 14 IP, 4 BB, 16 K's.
Chris Anderson, RHP, Jacksonville. 6'4", 225 lbs. Has been sitting 91-94 MPH topping out at 96. Throws a two seamer and 4 seamer. Slider is his out pitch. Developing curve and changeup. His college pitching coach has worked with Barry Zito, Cliff Lee, Matt Garza and Doug Fister. Got off to a great start this year with a 13 K performance against Radford. Pitching line so far: 0-1, 1.29, 14 IP, 3 BB, 22 K's. 2012 line: 5-4, 4.48, 88.1 IP, 40 BB, 69 K's. 2011 line: 4-2, 3.91, 50.2 IP, 34 BB, 39 K, 11 Saves.
Alex Gonzalez, RHP, Oral Roberts. 6'3", 200 lbs. FB sits 90-93 with a plus cutter. Reportedly up to 96 in the fall. He also has a developing curve and changeup. His coach expects him to be in the mid-90's when the weather warms up. 2013: 0-2, 1.20, 15 IP, 3 BB, 15 K's. 2012: 6-3, 2.30, 86 IP, 24 BB, 66 K's.
