The last couple drafts have been noteworthy for Indiana’s high school scene. The 2017 class doesn’t have the same pop, but offers some depth with several players to follow as they head to various Division I programs. RHP Chandler Ferguson (Lafayette Jefferson HS, IN) is the top prospect and has the most upside, though he is raw.
89. Chandler Ferguson, RHP, Lafayette Jeff HS, INAt 6-foot-3, 193 pounds, Ferguson has a highly athletic and projectable frame with long limbs and wiry strength. He pitches from a loose, quick arm action that comes through a high-3/4 slot. His delivery is smooth and athletic with minimal effort.
