Looking at the 2015 Draft: 6th Best Prospect

Continuing our look at the 2015 MLB First Year Players Draft we take a look at the #6 ranked prospect expected to enter the draft. As always we will include the mini scouting report from MLB.com as we introduce the #6 prospect, Kyle Funkhouser. Funkhouser is a RHP and Junior currently spending his time at the University of Louisville. 


Here is the write up from MLB.com:

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 55

Funkhouser ranked as the top prospect on the U.S. collegiate national team last summer, topping the staff with 36 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings. That capped a stellar sophomore season during which he tied for the NCAA Division I lead with 13 victories and helped Louisville reach its second straight College World Series.

Undrafted out of an Illinois high school in 2012 because of his commitment to the Cardinals, Funkhouser has a solid three-pitch mix that begins with a 92-96 mph fastball. Both his slider and changeup show flashes of becoming plus offerings as well.

Funkhouser's 6-foot-2, 218-pound frame is built for durability. There's some effort to his delivery, though not enough to lead scouts to think he'll wind up in the bullpen. His biggest need is to improve the consistency of his control and command.
