Having forfeited their second round pick for signing Corbin Burnes this last winter, Arizona went from picking #29 to not picking again until #92. With that third round pick, the Diamondbacks selected Brian Curley, a right-handed pitcher out of Georgia.
Curley is on the smaller size, especially for a starting pitcher. That said, there is plenty of reason to see starter development in him. Here is his basic profile:
Brian Curley, P, Georgia
DOB: 1 JUne 2003
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 212 lbs.
B/T: R/R
Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Curveball: 50 | Slider: 60 | Cutter: 55 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45
Curley’s first two collegiate seasons were with Virginia, before the Pirates selected him in the 165th round last year.
