Jordan Sheffield

A prep darling years ago, Sheffield saw his draft stock plunge in 2013 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Rather than sign with the Red Sox as a 13th-round pick, Sheffield bet on himself, and that bet paid off in a big way. After a few successful seasons at Vanderbilt, Sheffield landed with the Dodgers at No. 36 overall in 2016, earning an (above-slot-value) $1.86 million signing bonus. He threw just 12 innings in his first professional season and that's too small a sample to derive any meaningful conclusions. Sheffield features an electric fastball, was able to maintain his velocity in college as his pitch counts ticked up and both his slider and changeup grade out as borderline plus. While there's enough here to pique the interest of those in long-term keeper leagues, Sheffield is undersized, and most will want to simply monitor his development as a starter from afar for the time being.
