9. Will Sanders, RHP, South Carolina

Scouts liked Sanders' projection when he was a Georgia high schooler, and he since has improved his fastball to 92-94 mph with a high of 96, refined a quality mid-80s changeup with fade and tightened his slider into a mid-80s weapon. He went 7-3 with a 3.43 ERA and a 91/31 K/BB ratio in 89 1/3 innings in the spring.

32 RHP Will Sanders South Carolina 

Sanders has the massive size and stuff to headline a rotation at any level. He's got the mid-90s velocity and consistency with the fastball that scouts like to see, though to this point, he's had a hard-time missing bats with the pitch. Sanders' go-to out pitch has been a solid slider with good shape and great consistency. He's also got some of the best feel for a changeup at the top of this class. Developing a more-effective fastball is the most important move for Sanders in his immediate future.

6. Red Sox: Will Sanders, RHP, South Carolina 

The 6-foot-6 right-hander already has really good stuff with the chance for more in the tank as he continues to fill out that frame. He’s already up to 96 mph with his fastball, misses a ton of bats with an 82-84 mph slider and has solid feel for his mid-80s changeup.

He boasts a mid-90s fastball and a putaway slider. He also shows a solid feel for his changeup.

Mack - 

Right now, Sanders looks like the 2nd RHP off the board behind hase Dollanger.

He has the speed but it's all slider here.
