As their pick approached they set their sights on three players, and came away with all three. Let's take a look at these draftees:
Mike Sims, SP, Dupont Polymers (high school) (1st Round, 17th overall pick)
Sims, a 20 year old lefty, was a two time high school All-Star in his junior and senior seasons. The Massachusetts native throws a plus-plus 94-96 mph fastball, mixed in with a plus curveball, and an above average changeup. He is an intelligent pitcher, and projects to be a #3-4 starter in the MBBA.
Robert Bernard, SP, Nike Airs (college) (1st Round, 20th overall pick)
Bernard is a big (6'6") left-hander who is more of an offspeed pitcher than Sims. Bernard projects to have one of the best changeups in the game. He has an above average cutter which gets mixed in with a 91-93 mph fastball that is above average but needs improvement. Bernard flew under the radar due to poor luck with Nike, but the native San Diego-an is another mid rotation prospect to add to the Hustlers depth.
Jeff Washington, CF, Yum! Brands Colonels (college) (Supplemental 1st Round, 28th overall pick)
Here's the future centerfielder for the Las Vegas Hustlers. In the mold of Jimmy "Super" Slizz, Washington is an amazing defender with plus speed whose bat will be a secondary skill but more than satisfactory projection. The 22 year old was a College All-Star in his senior year, while winning the Glove Wizard for CF both his junior and senior campaigns.
