Horacek is a college arm that has a refined arsenal and can provide consistent and sturdy innings as an organizational arm. He lacks the stuff or movement to offer any higher value moving forward, but should be able to provide valuable depth in the minors moving forward, with a chance to potentially crack a major league roster as an emergency type.
Round Drafted: 9th round, 2013
Why: Refined college pitcher with command of three pitches; potential quick-moving depth arm.
