Jonathon Crawford was selected by the Detroit Tigers with the 20th pick in the 1st round. He's tabbed as a power pitcher, who reached 99 mph with his fastball in a no-hitter in the NCAA Championship. His average fastball sits at 92 to 95 mph, and according to Fox Sports, hit 97 mph in every game. He could become a No. 2/3 starter, or be a power pitcher in the bullpen.
Bless You Boys, the Tigers's SB Nation affiliate, wrote "Crawford features a strong fastball that sits in the mid-90's and touches 96. The velocity tends to stick around deep into games, though Crawford has problems with fastball command. He complements the fastball with a nice slider that projects to be a plus pitch. Crawford also has a changeup that he has been tinkering with, and his future will be determined based on whether or not the change develops. If he can develop the third pitch, he's a third starter. If not, he's Ryan Perry 2.0."
