The Toronot Blue Jays drafted Florida Gators pitcher Kirby Snead with the 312th pick in the 10th round on Friday night.
Player Evaluation
At 6 foot even and 200 pounds, he lacks the prototypical size that you would see from a left-handed specialist in the pros. However, what he lacks in size he makes up for with a very deceptive delivery that throws the hitters timing off. Almost a sidearm delivery, he sports a fastball in the upper 80s that can get above 90, and a devastating slider with some real depth and sweeping action that comes in between 77-80 mph, which is a great difference for an off-speed pitch.
