18. Marlin Willis LHP 6’4 195 lbs McEachern HS Powder Springs, GA 6/5/98

A high school left-hander with a commitment to Georgia State, Willis features a tantalizing frame for a future starter and relatively clean mechanics. He features a fastball that currently works in the high 80s while topping out at 91 mph, and the lefty also works a curveball that needs refinement. The length of delivery, ability to repeat his mechanics and athleticism gives a team something to dream on here.

Analysis – If they’re able to sign him, then this is a nice developmental piece to add.

You provide the best review of the Royals entire draft that is out there. But you skipped our pick in the 18th round, HS lefty Marlin Willis. I was hoping since he was picked in the top 20 rounds, there is a good chance the Royals will sign him. Do you have any info on him?
