2010 Indians 39th Round Pick: RHP Bobby Wahl

In the 39th round of the 2010 Draft, the Indians have selected RHP Bobby Wahl out of West Springfield High School (VA).

Height: 6'2" Weight: Unknown DOB: 03/21/1992 Bats: Right Throws: Right

Signing Update (June 13): When I talked to Wahl on June 11 he said he was likely going to attend Ole Miss in the fall by saying "at the time right now I'm really positive I will be going to school, but anything can happen”. Well, over the weekend he made it official and he will not be signing with the Indians and will in fact opt to attend Ole Miss in the fall.

Quick Hit: Wahl is committed to the University of Mississippi and is another late round high school pick the Indians appear to be taking a stab at with the idea to maybe sign one of these guys. PGCrosschecker had him as the 181st best player going into the draft, so he is easily considered a Top 5-7 round talent who slipped for signability reasons. He has good arm speed and gets his fastball into the mid-90s though sits more consistently at 90-92. he throws a curveball, slider and changeup with the slider graded out as the best pitch in his secondary arsenal and a potential out pitch at the big league level. He creates good deception with his delivery, though his changeup needs work which is not unexpected for a high school player.
