Scouting the 2015 Draft: Tyler Jay

Tyler Jay is a LHP for Univ. of Illinois.  He's been a reliever so far in his college career, but has a 3 pitch mix that scouts think will play as a starter.  He is wiry strong at 6'1", 175 lbs.  Physically the comp would be Cliff Lee or CJ Wilson.  FB runs 90-97 MPH.  Here is his 2014 college line:  4-1, 1.93, 41.2 IP, 13 BB, 47 K, 10 Saves.  He made 15 appearances for collegiate Team USA and did not allow an earned run with similar ratios.

BA ranks him as the #31 draft prospect while Kiley McDaniel of Fangraphs has him at #42.  He could be an interesting pick for the Giants in the supplemental first round.

  1. Love having the supplemental pick. Looks like the Pads are taking Shields, so the G's will slide up to #18. I'd be down with Tyler Jay if the Giants like him, seems like he would move fast.
