Also
a pitching prospect, Cease threw just three outings before suffering
soreness in his arm. He managed to play 21 games in the field, however,
and batted .359 with 23 RBIs, three doubles and two home runs.
What the scouts think:
Cease is seen as a possible right-handed pitcher due to a mid-90s
fastball and a strong changeup. He suffered an arm injury this year,
however, and rarely pitched. Scouts are not necessarily as high on his
abilities as a middle infielder.
Where he will get drafted:
If Cease's injury isn't serious and he can still pitch, he could go in
the second round. If he is relegated to an infielder, look for him to
drop to possibly the fourth or fifth round.
