Drew
Conover

Cape Cod: Conover was drafted in the 20th round by the Tigers after his sophomore year at Seton Hall, but elected to transfer to Rutgers rather than sign. He boosted his stock in a big way this summer, posting a 1.50 ERA and striking out 18 against five walks in 18 innings as Harwich's closer. We saw him sit 93-95 with above-average spin rates in the 2380-2500 rpm range, and Harwich head coach Steve Englert said he got as high as 97 mph this summer. He also has a true swing-and-miss weapon in his sharp 82-83 slider with tight spin in the 2850-3000rpm range. Long, lanky at broad at 6-5, 190 pounds, Conover has some funk in his low three-quarters arm slot, and his fastball bores in on righthanded hitters with tough angle. He has good feel to locate in and out, and he stayed in attack mode and maintained his composure very well all summer. He has a chance to make a huge leap in the draft as a junior next year.
