The Rays' lack of success in drafting prep bats suggests they could be looking to select a pitcher, and Wright is likely to be the first college pitcher taken. The 6'4”, 220-pounder has come on strong lately and is considered to have the best arm action and physical projection of the group. He offers a 91-94 mph fastball that can touch 97, throws both a curve and a slider (scouts prefer the former) and is developing a changeup.
