With the 11th pick in the 2007 draft, the Seattle Mariners have selected high school right-hander Phillippe Aumont. Baseball America calls him Canada’s “best prospect since Adam Loewen.”
What they’re saying:
I have a fastball - two kinds of fastballs: a four-seamer and a two-seamer. The two-seamer is 92-93 [mph] with movement. The four-seamer goes up to 98 [mph]… I have a slider, that’s kind of a slurve and goes up to 80-81 [mph]. And a change-up, 82-83 [mph].
