    Franklin is the nephew of long-time big leaguer Ryan Franklin. He has a pitcher's frame and a clean arm stroke with an 88-92 mph fastball and a loose curveball, but one that has enough shape to have some projection. He missed much of this spring with a broken foot. Franklin is committed to Oklahoma.
