Jeff Ellis: Jack Wagoner is a right handed pitcher from Florida Gulf Coast University. He is the first senior the Tribe has drafted which shows a very aggressive approach and a major change from just two years ago where we saw multiple college seniors go in the first 30 picks. He is second all time in the FGCU program with 9 saves. He has bounced from a starter to the pen throughout his career. He was on the watch list for the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award after his 2010 season. He is more than likely going to sign quickly since he’s a senior and will be moved back to the pen. His stats show a good strikeout rate as well as a high walk rate. This is the first play I can guarantee in this draft that you can expect to see in Mahoning Valley this year.
