Bellows bio
UPDATE (12:39 PM EST): Jeff Ellis
In the 4th round the Indians drafted Kyle Bellows 3B from San Jose St. He played 3B and SS last year for San Jose St. He was rated the 63rd best player in the in the state of California by Baseball America. His stock has dropped a bit after an outstanding freshman year where he was on every all freshman squad listing you could find. In that same year he played New England Colligate League and was rated by BA as the second best prospect in the whole league. First rated prospect in the league was a lesser known prospect named Steve Strausburg. He was rated the best prospect at San Jose St. by PG Crosschecker. He isn’t very fast, but has a great arm and accurate arm, which is why he will play 3B in the pros. There is some thought he could still hit for power and average, looking at his numbers he seems to be another player following the Indians new method of acquiring players who have solid plate discipline and know how to take a walk.
