Another left-handed pitcher to make this list, Texas A&M’s John Doxakis turned himself into a top prospect with a stellar sophomore season.
As a freshman he struggled to the tune of a 5.44 ERA in 49.2 innings pitched with 51 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.37.
That summer he posted a 1.08 ERA in the Alaska Summer League over 25 innings pitched with 30 strikeouts and a WHIP of 0.88.
He started 14 games as a sophomore for Texas A&M and posted a 2.70 ERA in 93 innings pitched with 92 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.08.
This past summer he threw four scoreless innings in the Texas Collegiate League, while also playing for the US Collegiate National Team.
Any pitcher who puts up those numbers in the SEC will draw the attention of scouts. If Doxakis can repeat that performance as a junior he’ll do just fine in the 2019 MLB Draft.
