Scouting Report

• Fastball sits in the low 90s with good sinking movement, can reach 95 mph occasionally. Clay also is improving his secondary pitches, including a slider, changeup, and a curveball. Slider has a lot of movement, almost a slurve. Needs to work on command a bit, and could stand to get some more swings-and-misses. Very raw, as he spent most of his high school career as an outfielder. Wiry frame with a smooth delivery which has been compared to Tim Hudson's. Great all around athlete, who also was the best hitter on his high school team. Excellent work ethic and desire to learn. Tough competitor, works well under pressure. Underwent TJ Surgery in August 2007. ~ SoxProspects.com

Began pitching his senior season, first in relief, then moving into the rotation. His arm caused him to shoot up the draft rankings. Committed to Auburn University.
