  • This top prospect may not be available for the Yankees when they make their first-round pick in the MLB Draft on Wednesday, but this week he drew a comparison to one of New York's best starters.Asa Lacy, a southpaw from Texas A&M, is projected to go to the Miami Marlins with the No. 3 selection. Lacy's game is very similar to that of left-hander James Paxton.Both Lacy and Paxton are big lefties with premium power stuff headlined by a mid-90s heater and Jackie Slater Jersey slider. While Lacy has been healthy thus far, there is a little worry that he might not be a perennial 200-inning starter, which has also limited Paxton's career.The pair of left-handed hurlers are both listed at 6-foot-4. Both have the arsenal to be an ace of the staff at the big-league level when healthy.Here's more on Lacy from , who ranks the southpaw as this draft cla s' third-rated prospect.Lacy separated himself from the rest of this years very strong college pitching crop in the brief spring Los Angeles Rams Hats season, showing he could hold 93-94 mph deep into games, touching 98 mph, with a plus changeup and above-average slider. Lacys got a great starters build and his delivery works, with a big step-over stride and good timing. He works well to both sides of the plate, although his command and control are Los Angeles Rams Hoodies Sweatshirts still inconsistent; the ability to reach back for 97-98 mph is great, but his stuff is good enough that he could just hold 92-93 mph all game and probably throw better strikes. If hed had a full spring, and kept this up, more people would likely see him as a candidate to go 1-1. If theres a future No. 1 starter in the cla s, I think its him.Scroll to ContinueThis spring in a campaign truncated by the novel coronavirus pandemic Lacy showed why he's the top-rated arm in this year's draft cla s. The left-hander from Texas was 3-0 in four starts with a dazzling 0.75 ERA.Further, he was one of the best in the country at striking hitters out. Through 24 frames, he had 46 punch outs tied for the fifth-most strikeouts in the nation. In Paxton's final season at the University of Kentucky, back in Bryce Perkins Jersey 2009, he ranked 17th in the NCAA with 115 strikeouts in 78 1/3 innings pitched.To put that into perspective, had the season continued, Lacy was on pace for 150 strikeouts in 78 1/3 frames.Again, as much as the Yankees need left-handed starting pitching in its farm system as the organization has just left-hander in the club's pool of top 30 prospects, ranked by MLB Kurt Warner Jersey Pipeline Lacy won't be available. The odds of a player of Lacy's caliber slipping to the very end of the first round are slim to none.Here's a highlight of one of Lacy's spectacular collegiate performances: a three-hit shutout against Mi si sippi State in 2019. You be the judge. How similar do his delivery and off-speed pitches look compared to that of James Paxton?
