Scouting Report
Last Chance Open I.D. Showcase (November 5th, 2016)
Draper has a tall, lanky build at 6-foot-4, 185-pounds. Fastball topped at 74 mph, showcased a curveball at 63-64 with small 10/4 depth and a straight change at 67-68. Delivery is started with a big first step, which causes him to get slightly off balance at balance point. Small, short arm action. Stiff arm stroke. Throws from a true 3/4 slot. Can increase velocity if he can get more explosiveness in his legs going down the mound. Needs to get more extension to homeplate at release point.
