Justin LaTempa, a 6'5 205 pound Right handed pitcther out of Golden West College who is signed on to transfer to Oregon in the summer to play baseball for the Ducks next spring has been drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 22nd round at pick number 678.
Here is some of the comments on his bio page at MLB.com.
He throws his changeup 80-82 mph. It can be a little too straight and hard. LaTempa threw his fastball in the 88-93 mph range, though he's been clocked as high as 95 mph in the past. When everything is clicking, he's got the possibility of a plus fastball and slider.
While LaTempa can overpower hitters, he allows too much contact for some. His arm action and delivery have something to do with that as he loses his arm slot deeper in games. LaTempa created some buzz early after throwing 95 mph this past fall, drawing scouts early before the college season began.
He's got the possibility of two plus pitches in his fastball and slider, though his other offerings need work. With his size and arm strength, he's sure to intrigue scouts all spring.
