Scouting Report
While he's not a fifth year, Koger is yet another college senior taken off the board by the Padres. Koger spent three seasons at Louisville before transferring to Arizona State, where he served as a full-time reliever. That's now two full-time relievers taken by the Padres within the first ten picks - a pretty rare thing to see in the draft.
Kroger may have logged an 8.10 ERA in his college career as a reliever, but he is an obvious project for the Padres. These college seniors, especially the relievers, are very cost-effective and low-risk. And sometimes, all it takes is one tweak to the profile to turn them into an effective option at the next level. He's primarily a fastball/slider pitcher with his fastball working in the mid-90s and his slider in the mid-80s.
