8-14-14 - 6. James Kaprelian, RHP (UCLA, Jr.). Part of UCLA's 2013 national championship team, he doesn't have Funkhouser or Fulmer's pure stuff but possesses superior pitchability. Though Kaprelian's fastball sat at 89-92 mph with Team USA, down a little from the spring, it remained effective because he continued to locate it in all four quadrants of the strike zone. He had the best changeup on the staff, one of the better sliders and also mixed in a curveball. Add in Kaprelian's command and solid 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame, and he's Team USA's safest bet to become at least a mid-rotation starter in the big leagues. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/kyle-funkhouser-leads-list-of-top-prospects-on-team-usa?ymd=20140814&content_id=89585038&vkey=news_mlb
