Player: Austin Cheeley
Position: RHP
School: Middle Tennessee State

A transfer from Jefferson College, where he compiled a 12-1 record, six saves and a 2.30 ERA in two seasons, Cheeley uses his 6-foot-8, 250-pound frame to create plane with his fastball, sitting 88-93 mph and touching 95 from a high-three-quarters slot. He pairs his heater with a 79-81 mph splitter that serves as his out pitch and rounds out his arsenal with a slider that registers in the same velocity band.
