Position: SP
Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
When the Dodgers selected Zach Lee in the first round in 2010, it was seen as a ploy. The Dodgers were in financial trouble and Lee had a huge asking price, leading many to believe they had no intent to sign Lee in an attempt to save money. However, those critics were silenced as Lee signed a contract that included a 5.25 million dollar bonus. Luckily for the Dodgers, they were able to spread that bonus over a five year period because of Lee's two-sport background. That also speaks to Lee's athleticism. The Dodger pitcher was recruited to play quarterback at LSU along with baseball. On the mound, Lee features a fastball that can touch as high as 98 when he reaches back for more. Generally it sits in the low 90's. Lee also has an exceptional cutter and three pitches that need development in a curveball, slider, and changeup. Combine that with a projectable frame, a loose, athletic delivery, and impressive command, and Lee is an exciting pitching prospect.
