Roemer, a pre-season All-American, will take the ball every Friday for Fullerton, so expect plenty of opportunities to compete against every opponent’s top starter. He might not possess the overpowering stuff one would expect out of a first round selection. But he more than makes up for it with his control. In 155 innings pitched for the Titans, he walked just 7 hitters while striking out 145. His small frame, incredible control, and bulldog mentality have led to comparisons to Greg Maddux. Much like most of these Focus prospects, Roemer pitched for the US National team going 2-0 in 4 appearances (22.33IP) allowing 15 hits, 8 runs (5 earned), 6 walks while striking out 18. He left the team midway through the competition due to a death in the family.

Roemer at #6 would be far too early. But he’s likely to be first round selection in 2007.
