The Tampa Bay Rays selected LHP John Doxakis out of Texas A&M with their second round pick and 61st overall pick.
Doxakis throws a 88-93 mph fastball. He has low 80s slider that he’s able to manipulate break and speed. His changeup lags behind his other two offerings. He excels at throwing strikes and has a deceptive delivery.
Even though he doesn’t light up the radar guy as a starter when he threw as reliever as a freshman he topped out at 97.
Doxakis went to Lamar (Houston, Texas) High School. The same high school as former Ray Jeff Neimann.
