Faedo is a 21 year old 6’5", 225 lbs RHP who is the Friday night starter for the Florida Gators. He features a 3 pitch mix (Fastball, Slider Changeup) and throws from a 3⁄4 arm slot. He might have the highest floor in the draft. Similar to my review of Aaron Nola 3 years ago I think Faedo could probably jump straight to the Majors and survive. His Floor is probably #3 Starter and his ceiling is probably very good #2 Starter. That’s not a very broad delta, but there’s job security in safety, making Faedo a decent bet to be gone by the 8th pick (though not a guarantee, or I wouldn’t bother writing this).
