Round 3, Pick 119 RHP John Ely, Miami (OH)
Ely, the third straight pitcher picked by the Sox, is more like former Sox first rounders Lance Broadway and Kyle McCulloch. Known as a "solid pitcher" who is a fierce competitor, Ely throws a fastball around 92 mph, as well as a changeup and a curve. The fastball and the changeup are his best pitches, while his curve is still developing.
Ely also owns a somewhat violent throwin motion that makes him harder to hit.
He already throws harder than both of them.
89-94 supposedly.
