If you like velocity, then the Mets’ eighth-round pick ($226K) might be the player you watch. Ryan Lambert had just one year at the University of Oklahoma (transferred from Missouri State), but he was able to get the fastball velocity up to 102 miles-per-hour on the radar gun along with a power cutter and a curveball. 

Lambert did battle some command issues in college (12 walks in 23 games). With that being said, in a small sample size in the MLB Draft League this summer, he had no walks to go with 10 strikeouts in six innings of work.

 

Mack – 

Loose, quick arm… high spin 92-93, T-94 fastball… very good 83-84, 2600+ rpm slider… 

Work in progress
