Kendal Volz | Red Sox 9th round pick

The Boston Red Sox selected Kendal Volz, a big right-handed pitcher out of Baylor University. Volz was a start reliever for Team USA last summer but he could project as a starter down the line.

Statistically speaking, Volz' numbers are not that impressive. Opponents hit .277 against him while slugging .441 and an OBP of .366. He have up an alarmingly high 10 homeruns in 86 innings this season.  His DICE was 4.34 and his babip was .335, both of which are pretty high numbers. Volz's K/BB ratio was only 2.05 (78 Ks to 38 BBs).

His sophomore season in 2008 was a much better performance overall. His K/BB ratio was higher at 3.04 and his DICE was nearly 2 runs lower at 2.83. He also held opponents to an OPS of .714 (compared to .807 in 2009).
