Daniel Lynch | LHP
Background
Lynch, 21, grew up in Richmond and was not drafted out of high school. His first two seasons at Virginia were not good (5.19 ERA and 82/44 K/BB in 118 innings), though he’s been better this spring, pitching to a 3.96 ERA with a 105/24 K/BB in 88.2 innings. Lynch was dominant in the Cape Cod League last summer (2.08 ERA and 25/6 K/BB in 30.1 innings), which really put him on the draft map.
