With the 17th pick in the 2007 draft, the Texas Rangers have selected high school right-hander Blake Beavan. His fastball reportedly runs 91-96 mph, and his slider draws positive reviews. Beavan also has earned praise for his performance against the Cuban national team in Cuba during the World Junior Championship.
What they’re saying:
Beavan is a very confident young man who knows all eyes are on him. He didn’t do anything to disappoint in his senior season. He was virtually unhittable all year with a plus fastball and slider coming from a big, athletic frame.
