ROUND 1S-b: Evan Frederickson - LHP - SIGNED
6'6", 225, L/L, Univ. San Francisco
BREWERFAN.NET SCOUTING REPORT:
Fredrickson is a tall, powerfully built left-handed pitcher that has been rising up draft boards all year by touching the mid-90s and sitting in the low-90s all spring. He also has a potentially dominant breaking ball that is a nasty pitch when it's working for him. The problem with Fredrickson is consistently, as he reallly struggles to throw strikes and his breaking ball doesn't always work for him the way it should, but he seemed to take well to instruction after transferring from Virginia Tech, where he spent his first two years in college. He is wild with all of his pitches, and his delivery has significant effort to it. Many believe pairing him with a good pitching coach to help him focus on his mechanics will be just what he needs for his game to come together for him, as much of his wildness has to do with inconsistent release points and deliveries. Fredrickson defines the idea of a high-risk, high-reward type of prospect, and he is the first college pitcher scouting director Jack Zduriencik has taken before the third round during his time with the Brewers.
NOTES & INFO:
Drafted previously by Minnesota, Round 27, 2005
