James Paxton

Bio

School: Kentucky
Drafted: 4th round pick of the 2010 draft by the Seattle Mariners
Scouting Report: Paxton is a college lefty who was on the rise late in the season. The Kentucky product has two potential plus pitches in his fastball, which has been up to 98 mph, and a short power slider. The third pitch, a changeup, hasn't always been on display, but he hasn't needed it much at the college level. He repeats his delivery well and can carry the velocity throughout starts, though there are some who think his command and arm action may mean he'll be a reliever in the future. At least some feel he can start and it's likely to be one of those teams that takes him off the board early.
