Alex Faedo | RHP
Background
Faedo, 21, was a 40th round draft pick by the Tigers out of a Tampa high school back in 2014. He followed through on his commitment to Florida, where he has emerged as one of the top right-handers in the country. Faedo has a 2.80 ERA with 113 strikeouts and 32 walks in 15 starts and 96.1 innings this season. For his career, he has a 3.06 ERA with 305 strikeouts and 69 walks in 262 innings. It’s worth noting Faedo had minor arthroscopic knee surgery last year, which caused him to miss fall ball and get off to a bit a slow start this year.
