[edit] Biography

[edit] Scouting Report

Baseball America's 2007 College Player of the Year and winner of the Golden Spikes Award. Long and strong, (6'6", 225), great athleticism and character. Average fastball, can reach 95 if he pushes it. Best slider in system, already at 70 on scout scale with potential to max out at 80. Plus changeup and mechanics, has easy, repeatable delivery and already has the know-how to add or subtract from his pitches if the situation warrants. Has more poise and polish and a higher ceiling than does Scott Kazmir. Only true weakness is experience, he signed too late to play in 2007, and excepting a two week stint in the Instructional League hasn't thrown since the college season ended in June. Feelings are mixed in the Rays organization to where Price should begin the season, some feel it should be Tampa. Based on their handling of their previous top picks, Price will begin the season in Class A and progress through the system with a late season appearance in the Majors a distinct possibility.
