Rockies prioritize pitching on Draft Day 2

The Draft concludes on Wednesday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 10 a.m. MT.

Here is a look at the Rockies' Day 2 picks:

Round 3 (86th overall): RHP Will Gaddis, Furman University
A first-team All-Southern Conference selection, Gaddis went 9-3 with a 1.89 ERA and 89 strikeouts in 105 innings as a junior.

Last summer in the Cape Cod League, Gaddis saw an uptick in fastball velocity and went 2-1 with a 1.37 ERA, 24 strikeouts and five walks in 26 1/3 innings. Pitching for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, Gaddis earned the collegiate wood-bat league's pitcher of the week honors on July 5 after throwing eight scoreless innings against the Bourne Braves.
