With their first three picks in the 2015 draft, the Indians took three high school pitchers. I discussed Brady Aiken in a blog post last night, but I wanted to feature some of the picks that came after him. The Indians hadn’t selected a prep arm in the first round of the draft since CC Sabathia in 1998 until they drafted Justus Sheffield in the comp round of the first round last year. Aiken and comp round pick Triston McKenzie this year make for three prep pitchers in the first round over the past two years. I’m not necessarily saying that’s a good or bad thing; just different from what we usually see early in the draft from the Indians.
