Scouting Report

• Tall, thin righty with a very projectable frame. Fastball tops out around 95 mph, which he complements with a nice sweeping curveball. His slider and his changeup are both unrefined. Primarily a two pitch pitcher at this point. Works well in all count. Big time sleeper potential if he can fill out his frame, and watch out if he adds a decent changeup. ~ SoxProspects.com

• Traditional NAIA powerhouse Oklahoma City met with its usual success this year by advancing to the NAIA World Series, and Lee did his part, going 10-2, 2.79 with 124 K’s in 94 innings. His stuff was top shelf, with his fastball touching 94-95 mph at times and a mid-70s power breaking ball that is his strikeout pitch. Lee doesn’t have a workable changeup yet and his mechanics still need some tinkering, but he has high-ceiling talent in his lean 6-foot-6 frame. Scouts have been cautious talking about Lee this spring, giving the sense that they’d like to get him in the right spot but don’t want to over-hype him. He could be a surprise top 3-round pick. ~ PG Crosschecker
