BA scouting report
Quote:
Pill, the younger brother of former Fullerton star Brett Pill, has been a valuable two-way contributor for the Titans for three years, but his future in pro ball is on the mound. An elbow injury limited his pitching duties as a sophomore, and he played the outfield in the Cape Cod League last summer, but he returned to full strength as a junior and put together a fine season on the mound. Pill is physically unimposing but sturdily built at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds. His frame and stuff evoke Ian Kennedy, and his tenacity is a major asset. He pitches with a fringy fastball that ranges from 88-91 mph and bumps 92, but it plays up a bit because of his deception and command. He throws an average curveball and a solid-average to plus changeup, and he has enough feel with both pitches to throw them to righties as well as lefties. He also mixes in an 86-87 mph cutter that runs in on lefthanded hitters. Pill does not have huge upside, projecting as a back-of-the-rotation starter, but his feel for pitching and makeup should get him drafted around the fifth round.

94. TYLER PILL, rhp-of, Cal State Fullerton (Jr.) ++ 2-way athlete, top 2 rounds as RHP (5-1, 2.29), top 5 as OF (.321-0-22); ++ command/feel for pitching.
Played outfield at CS Fullerton as well. 4 pitch guy without overwhelming stuff.
Would've preferred a higher upside pick, but you need these guys too. Still a lot of high upside talent out there, but it comes with clear signability issues.
My first "eh" pick.

doesn't sound too good
Pill is a talented athlete that handles the bat well and can cover some ground in the outfield. On the mound he is more refinement than pure stuff, but his four pitch arsenal is more than capable of flummoxing collegiate bats, and could be valuable as a back-end starter or swing man.
