Aiken
has emerged as possibly the No. 1 overall pick in the draft after
adding several miles per hour to his fastball. He has a 7-0 record with
111 strikeouts and a 1.07 ERA in 59.2 innings pitched.
What the scouts say:
Scouts like the fact that Aiken has several pitches to work with and
his fastball has steadily improved to the point where he has been
hitting in the mid-90s during his senior season. He is also just 17
years old and thus has potential to grow.
Where he will go: Most of the recent mock drafts have Aiken as the No. 1 overall pick to the Astros.
