Indians Complete 2015 First-Year Player Draft FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 10, 2015 INDIANS COMPLETE 2015 FIRST-YEAR PLAYER DRAFT CLEVELAND, OH - Information on Cleveland Indians 2015 First-Year Player Draft selections. Round 1 (#17 overall) LHP BRADY AIKEN AGE/DOB: 18, Aug. 16, 1996 High School: IMG Academy (FL) BATS/THROWS: L/L HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-3/210 Aiken, 18, is a 2014 graduate of Cathedral Catholic High School (San Diego, CA), where he compiled a 7-0 record with a 1.06 ERA in 11 starts in his senior season. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound lefty enrolled at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL in February 2015 as a postgraduate high school student after he and the Astros were unable to reach an agreement on a professional contract by the July 18, 2014 deadline. After making one appearance for the IMG Academy, Aiken underwent reconstructive left elbow surgery on March 26 in New York City (Dr. David Altchek) and is currently two and a half months post-op. Brady was a 2014 Perfect Game USA first Team All- American and led Team USA to the gold medal at the 18U World Cup in Taiwan in September 2013, including a win in the championship game vs. Japan (7.0IP, 1R, 10K). He was the fifth LHP selected first overall and the first since David Price (Tampa Bay) in 2007. From MLB.com on Aiken Comments: Aiken entered 2014 as the most polished high school pitcher available, then he saw his stuff improve and became the No. 1 overall pick by the Astros. The two sides agreed on a $6.5 million bonus, but the team became concerned about his elbow following a post-Draft physical and cut its offer to $5 million. He turned it down, joining Danny Goodwin (1971) and Tim Belcher (1983) as the only No. 1 overall picks not to sign. Aiken originally committed to UCLA but opted instead to pitch for IMG Academy's post-graduate team, making him eligible for the 2015 Draft. He left his lone start for the team in the middle of March after 13 pitches and underwent Tommy John surgery six days later. Aiken had no physical problems as a senior at San Diego's Cathedral Catholic High, showing advanced command of a fastball that sat at 92-94 mph and reached 97. He added more power and depth to his curveball and displayed one of the best changeups in the 2014 Draft, featuring deception and tumbling action. By leading Team USA to the gold medal at the 2013 18-and-under World Cup in Taiwan and thriving under all the scrutiny last spring, Aiken also earned points for his makeup. Competitive Balance Round A (#42 overall) RHP TRISTON McKENZIE AGE/DOB: 17, Aug. 2, 1997 High School: Royal Palm Beach (FL) BATS/THROWS: R/R HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-5/160 The 6-foot-5, 160-pound Vanderbilt commit is a 2015 graduate of Royal Palm Beach (FL) High School, where he compiled a 9-5 record with a 0.79 ERA during his senior campaign, tallying 157 strikeouts against just 16 walks across 91.0 innings/15 games. McKenzie was a 2015 Perfect Game USA first-team Preseason All-American and led Royal Palm Beach to the Class 7A state tournament for the first time since 2000. The right-hander threw five complete games in the tournament and allowed just 4 runs, 3 of which came in the team’s state semifinal loss. McKenzie, 17, entered his senior season as a Baseball America third-team Preseason High School All-American. McKenzie's selection marks the second consecutive year that the Indians have selected a high school pitcher in the first round, tabbing LHP Justus Sheffield with the 31st overall pick in 2014. \From MLB.com on McKenzie Comments: The best prospect to come out of Royal Palm Beach High since the Braves made Jarrod Saltalamacchia a supplemental first-round pick in 2003, McKenzie is also one of the most projectable pitchers in this year's crop. He's a 6-foot-5, 160-pounder with a fastball that already reaches 92 mph. Once he fills out, McKenzie should have at least above-average velocity, though he sits in the 89-91 range now, and his fastball already has promising life. Likewise, his curveball shows good depth and should develop more power once he gets stronger. He also has the makings of a changeup that should be an effective third pitch. McKenzie has an easy arm action and has advanced feel for a high school pitcher. He's part of Vanderbilt's top-ranked recruiting class, so he will likely need to get drafted high enough to spurn the Commodores. Round 2 (#59 overall) LHP JUAN HILLMAN AGE/DOB: 18, May 15, 1997 High School: Olympia (FL) BATS/THROWS: L/L HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-2/180 Hillman, 18, is a 2015 graduate of Olympia High School (Orlando, FL), where he recorded a 10-0 record with a 1.44 ERA across 62.0 innings/12 games during his senior campaign. The left-hander struck out 80 batters against just 12 walks. Hillman was a 2015 Perfect Game USA first team Preseason All-American selection and was named to the Florida All-Region First Team. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Central Florida commit has been mentored by his godfather and former Major League pitcher Tom “Flash” Gordon. From MLB.com on Hillman Comments: Hillman is the latest prospect out of Olympia High, which has produced big leaguer Brad Miller (who went to Clemson before pro ball), supplemental first-round picks Jesse Winker and Walker Weickel and first-rounder Nick Gordon in the last seven Drafts. Gordon is the half-brother of 2014 Major League stolen-base champion Dee Gordon and son of former All-Star closer Tom Gordon, who also serves as Hillman's guardian. Hillman has a live, athletic frame with a quick arm and projection remaining. He has more feel than the typical prep pitcher and the potential for three solid-or-better pitches. The Central Florida recruit will show an 89-92 mph fastball with some armside run early in his outings. His curveball has nice shape and depth, and his changeup has some fade and deception. Once he fills out, he should add more power to his pitches and do a better job of maintaining his velocity deeper into games. Round 3 (#93 overall) 2B MARK MATHIAS AGE/DOB: 19, Aug. 2, 1995 College: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo BATS/THROWS: R/R HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-0/185 Mathias, 19, recently completed his junior campaign at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he hit .356 (72-202) with 7 2B, 3 3B, 1HR & 28RBI in 47 games. The Fremont, California native had a banner sophomore year, hitting a team-leading .386 average on his way to Big West Conference Field Player of the Year honors. The right-hander’s preseason honors included first-team D1Baseball.com All-America Team, second-team Baseball America Preseason All-America Team and second-team National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-America Team. The 6-0 200-pound second baseman underwent labrum surgery in early December 2014 after injuring his shoulder playing for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team last summer. He was ranked as the 103rd best draft prospect by Baseball America. From MLB.com on Mathias There are a good amount of college middle infielders who can hit in this year's Draft class. While Mathias' progress in the field was held up by a labrum injury, he showed this spring that his ability to swing the bat generated plenty of interest. Originally a shortstop, Mathias had to DH for much of 2015 as he recovered from his shoulder issue. His return to the field has come at second base, where he has the chance to be a fair defender. His arm continues to come back, but will likely play no better than average. It will be Mathias' bat that will get him drafted and carry him up an organizational ladder. He has a very good approach at the plate, making consistently hard contact. More of an extra-base hit guy now, there is enough strength for some power in the future. As he's gotten bigger and stronger, he's slowed down to an average runner. College bats who perform always tend to do well in June, and a team seeing Mathias as an everyday offensive-minded second baseman could take him in the top few rounds. Round 4 (#124 overall) SS TYLER KRIEGER AGE/DOB: 21, Jan. 16, 1994 College: Clemson University (GA) BATS/THROWS: S/R HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-2/170 Krieger boasted the 2nd-highest average for the Clemson Tigers in his junior season, batting at a .339 clip (80-for- 236), with 14 doubles, one triple, one home run and 41 RBI. The Johns Creek, Georgia native was a second-team All-ACC selection and a Brooks Wallace Shortstop-of-the-Year Award Watch List member as a sophomore, as he hit .338 with 49 runs, 18 doubles, 2 homers, and 32 RBI. Krieger was named a team co-captain for 2015 and was named a preseason first-team All-ACC by Perfect Game. The switch-hitter was also named the 11th-best preseason ACC prospect for the 2015 draft by Perfect Game. The switch-hitter was previously drafted in the 35th round (#1061 overall) of the 2012 First Year MLB Draft by the Seattle Mariners. From MLB.com on Krieger One of the better college hitters in the Southeast, Krieger sprays line drives to all fields from both sides of the plate.

Several were injured, and others have been getting needed development time in Triple-A. That's finally starting to change. With his "Super Two" status no longer a concern, pitching prospect Cody Reed was called up Saturday. Infielder Jose Peraza is back in the big leagues for the second time. Starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani has put an oblique injury behind him. Pitchers Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias could be ready in the near future. "It's exciting because this is what we've all talked about," Price said. "We've anticipated it would happen a little bit sooner. We didn't anticipate the health issues, and didn't think we'd come out of Spring Training with all the issues and injuries. I did anticipate we'd get to the point where these young guys would impact our ballclub, and begin to learn how to play at this level and find their way to success." More help could be coming. Pitcher Robert Stephenson, who already made two spot starts in the big leagues, is performing well at Triple-A Louisville with a 3.29 ERA in 11 starts.

  • Kash Beauchamp Was Born Into Baseball. His Father Jim
    Kash Beauchamp was born into baseball. His father Jim Beauchamp spent 50 years in professional baseball, playing 10 in the Major Leagues for five different teams, was Bobby Cox's bench coach for 9 years where the Atlanta Braves won 9 division titles, a world championship, and three pennants. Jim spent the remainder of his career with the Braves as the supervisor for minor league field operations until his passing on Christmas day in 2008. The experience of growing up in the game obviously impacted Kash Beauchamp's career. After a stellar high school career as a three sport athlete, Kash accepted a scholarship to Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma where he was immediately drafted as the first overall pick in the January, 1982 Major League Baseball Draft ahead of such future stars as Kirby Puckett and Randy Meyers. Beauchamp began his pro career in Medicine Hat where he was a member of the 1982 Pioneer League Champion Medicine Hat Blue Jays. Kash garnered all-star honors after hitting .320 and playing terrific defense in center field. Beauchamp was promoted to the South Atlantic League in 1983 where he played on a star studded team that included, Cecil Fielder, Jose Mesa, Pat Borders, Fred McGriff and David Wells. In 1984 Beauchamp was again promoted to the Carolina League where while playing for the Kinston Blue Jays, he was the MVP of the Carolina League All-Star game by going 5-6 with two triples and a HR with 5 RBI. The same year Beauchamp was voted by Baseball America as the Best Defensive Outfielder and Outfielder with the Best Arm.

  • Bullpen Falters After Pitch Count Chases Kluber by Jason
    Bullpen falters after pitch count chases Kluber By Jason Beck and William Kosileski / MLB.com | 12:18 AM ET + 6 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- Michael Fulmer won't pitch in the Midsummer Classic, but he'll settle for winning a duel opposite fellow American League All- Star Corey Kluber. Fulmer's six-plus quality innings and Justin Wilson's five-out save helped the Tigers close out the first half by avoiding a series sweep to the Indians with a 5-3 win Sunday night at Progressive Field. Cleveland heads into the All-Star break at 47-40, up 2 1/2 games on the Twins in the AL Central. Detroit moved within eight games but still has work to do at 39-48 as general manager Al Avila listens to offers ahead of the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Kluber and Fulmer (9-6) both allowed a run on three hits over their first five innings. But while Fulmer did it in just 58 pitches, Kluber threw 101, thanks in part to eight strikeouts. Detroit scored three runs in the sixth off the Tribe bullpen, two on Alex Presley's go-ahead double, to move ahead for good. Fulmer entered the seventh with a 5-1 lead and a pitch count of only 71, but four straight hits, including Jose Ramirez's two-run homer, knocked Fulmer out of the game before an out was recorded. Shane Greene retired three straight to escape the jam, then turned the ball over to Wilson, who stranded the bases loaded in the eighth and worked around a single in the ninth for his 10th save.
