Draft Preview - Right Handed Starting Pitchers

In less than a month, teams will select players in the 2020 OOTP draft.  Philadelphia holds the #1 pick after a 116 loss season in 2019.  Phoenix, Los Angeles, Orlando, and Hawaii will follow with the next four picks.

Here are the top rated right-handed starting pitcher prospects:

Brandon Manley

He's not imposing at 6 feet even, but is a legit power pitcher who can reach 99 MPH and also has a wipeout slider and outstanding changeup.  Manley is athletic, fields his position well and can hold runners.  He has good command of 3 elite pitches and should soon be a top of the rotation starter.

Ken Caffey

A junior at Clemons, Caffey throws a fastball in the upper 90s, an excellent slider, and a very good splitter.  He's strong and able to maintain his stuff deep into games.

Dan Phillips

A junior at USC, Phillips has hit 100 MPH with his fastball, which he throws with great sink down in the zone.  His slider is also above average.  He'll need to improve his changeup to stick as a starter.

Cristobal Cruz

Only 19, Cruz is a 6-6 junior college pitcher from Texarkana.  He's got the makings of a very good curve. His fastball is in the low to mid 90s.

Javier Munoz

Munoz has a live fastball clocked up to 100 MPH from a sidearm delivery.  He's still working on his secondary pitchers, which include a slider, change, and forkball.  His fastball is tough to square up and produces lots of ground balls.

Jake Price

A 17-year-old high schooler from Massachusetts, Price throws a sinking fastball in the low 90s along with a good curve and splitter.  He throws strikes and keeps the ball on the ground.

Malcolm Sherman

A college senior at Oregon State, Sherman can hit 100 MPH, along with a high spin curveball.  His stuff is overpowering although his command is still coming around.  His changeup is still developing but has a chance to be a third average pitch.

Kelala Taree

A college senior, he's already 23 years old.  Throws in the upper 90s along with a very good slider.  He's working on improving a curve and change. Taree keeps the ball on the ground and throws strikes.

Arturo Arrojo

A strong , 6-6 power pitcher, Arrojo throws in the upper 90s with excellent movement on his fastball.  His curve and slider both show promise, and he's tried several types of off speed pitches, including a forkball, circle change, and straight change.

Scott Cameron

A 19 year old junior college pitcher, Cameron's stuff is ordinary but his command is outstanding.  He throws a cut fastball in the low 90s, a curve, and spliiter.  His ability to throw strikes makes him stand out.

Jeffrey Curry

The grandson of Hall of Famer Dan Curry, Jeffrey is an imposing 6-7, 235 pounds and can reach triple digits.  He has a good slider and a forkball that drops off the table, a pitch his grandfather learned back in the mid 1980's. If he can improve his control, Curry could be an ace.

Lloyd Gobert

A short (5-11) right-hander from Vancouver, his teammates call him horce-face. He throws a mid 90s fastball, a wipeout slider, and a very good forkball.

Jose Perez

A big (6-4, 220) righty from North Carolina, Perez throws an upper 90s fastball with both a curve and change that have a chance to be above average pitches. He fields his position well and has the stamina to pitch deep into games.
