Karsten Whitson RHP 6-4 190 lbs Chipley HS (FL) DOB: 8/25/91 This year’s draft class is notably strong in pitchers, particularly RHP. Karsten is a prime example of the quality of this draft. With a fastball clocked between 91-96mph, with good movement, he also has a plus slider from 81-83mph that has a hard, sharp break. His third pitch is an 80-82mph changeup that he is working to improve and is average at this point. Whitson is tall and lanky, with good control and few walks in his starts. He has a repeatable delivery and is athletic. He started the season strong but had a late season fade that has concerned scouts but has made a good showing in the All Star competition this month. As a result of this up and down season he has moved up and down in the mock drafts. His current surge could help move him back up to his prominent position in the top 15 picks of the first round.
