A transfer from Saddleback (Calif.) JC, Rees emerged as Hawaii's top starter this spring and led the Rainbow Warriors in ERA (3.59), innings (67.2) and strikeouts (53). The lanky, 6-foot-5, 205-pound righthander succeeds more on deception than stuff. Batters don't pick the ball up well out of his three-quarters delivery, and nothing he throws is straight. His 89-92 mph fastball cuts, his two-seamer sinks and his slider flashes average. Rees' life on his pitches makes it difficult for him to throw consistent strikes, and he has below-average control overall. Rees also has a history of injuries. He missed all of 2015 with a shoulder impingement, all of 2016 with lower back issues and missed time in 2018 with blister problems. Even with that medical history, he's performed well enough to get drafted.
