2013 IBL DRAFT
Pittsburgh landed another young potential ace. Everyone expected Frohling to go 1st.
I was intimately involved in the first 7-10 rounds, and then left to allow the scouts to do their thing. We had the 31st pick, so the common sense approach was used, and we took the best player available.
1-31) Robbie Czarnomski IF RHH (18) 5-stars. Has every offensive tool possible and can run, will be a good middle to left side defender.
2-73) Dean Hahn C RHH (18) 5-stars. Already a + IBL level defender with gold glove tools. Chance to hit .300+ with elite bat to ball skills.
3-97) Bill Bundy LHP (18) 3.5-stars. Potential middle of the rotation guy with 2 ++ pitches. Lots of work to do on the third.
3-107) John Alex RHP (21) 4-stars. comfortably in the upper 90's with triple digit stuff. Already rated a 20 fastball, with a curveball that projects as 20+.Future closer or back end guy.
4-119) Jonathan Brady RHP (19) 3-stars. Potential mid-rotation starter with elite off-speed stuff. Sits 90-92 with ability to get more.
4-140) Jake Schmidt RHP (21) 3-stars. Huge debate in the war room on this one. 21-year-old “pitcher”. Pure pitcher. 4+ offerings with elite change, all the makeup you could want. But no none thinks he'll have the stamina to pile innings on. If he did, he's likely a top 20 pick.
7-235) Gil Ermatinger C LHH (21) 4.5-stars. Stunned he was still around in the 7th. No makeup questions, another IBL level defender today, right now. With a legit middle-of-the-order bat potential. Too good to pass up. So what if we have 4 elite catchers

8-267) John Ingalls RHP (19) 3.5 stars. Future back end or closer arm. Does it “passively” with 3 ++ pitches and a 21 grade curve ball.
9-299) Jorge Flores IF RHH (18) 2.5-stars. Elite middle IF defender or 3B. Big time speed and a bat that could become something.
10-331) Cody Mullins C LHH (21) 4-stars. Yes, a third catcher. A college bat who signed the day of the draft and is headed to AAA to start his pro career.
