Dax Fulton

Fulton entered his senior year in the top tier of high school lefthanders, but he had Tommy John surgery in September and missed the entire season. When healthy, Fulton was a potential first-round pick as a projectable 6-foot-6, 225-pound lefthander with a big breaking ball. Over the summer, Fulton’s fastball mostly ranged from 89-93 mph out of a clean, three-quarters arm action. His breaking ball is a big, deep bender in the mid-to-upper 70s with terrific spin and depth. At the Area Code Games, Fulton posted spin rates in the 2,600 rpm range and the pitch looked like a future plus offering. It’s particularly tough on lefthanded hitters thanks to the angle Fulton creates in his delivery. In addition to his fastball and curveball, Fulton occasionally shows a mid-80s changeup, though he needs to develop more feel for the pitch. Fulton has a lot of moving parts in his delivery, but he made good progress cleaning that up before he got hurt. Fulton's draft status is clouded because of his injury, though a team could still buy his upside enough to take him early. If not, he will head to Oklahoma, where he could re-establish his first-round potential.
