DH-RF Caden Ferraro, St.

Louis Cardinals, third round, No.

86 overall: After two years at Blinn College, Ferraro spent one season with Texas Tech, where he earned second-team all-Big 12 recognition after batting .374 with 8 home runs, 19 doubles and 46 RBIs.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Ferraro is an advanced hitter from the left side, which is how he made it into the third round.

He grades below average as a runner and fielder; hence, the reason he made 36 starts at designated hitter and 16 in right field.
