Rockies load up on arms in Day 2 of Draft

The Draft concludes on Wednesday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at noon ET.

Round 3: RHP Javier Medina, Tucson (Ariz.) Sahuaro High School
Medina, who turns 19 on Aug. 9, moved to Tucson from Hermosillo, Mexico, with another young baseball player, catcher Cesar Salazar. The two spent two years playing in American Legion programs trying to meet requirements to be eligible for high school ball. Finally, as seniors, they played 18 games, but then were ruled ineligible.

Still, Medina showed a low-90s fastball with good command and a strong enough curve and changeup to attract scouts.
