An undersized righthander committed to North Carolina, Pickell has massive arm strength and was throwing as hard as 97 mph in bullpens this spring. A closer with his travel team—Canes National—Pickell projects as a reliever at the next level thanks to his arm strength and the erratic present nature of his strikes. In addition to his pure velocity, teams like the spin qualities of Pickell’s fastball and also praise his makeup and work ethic. There are questions of how much more is in the tank with Pickell, as he’s close to fully maxed out, and he’ll need to develop his control and secondary offerings to be thought of as a starter at the next level. Either way, his pure arm talent will keep teams interested beyond this year’s five-round draft.
