In a year where their are are an abundance of college closer options (Daniel Moskos and Cole St. Clair to name a few), the pre-season All-America Fields is at the top of the list. Scouts have almost universally agreed that Fields is the most likely to quickly transition into the closer role at the major league level. Fields followed up his performance for the Bulldogs with a solid performance in the Cape Cod League (16G 13SV 17.67IP 10H 5R(5ER) 5BB 27K). He could be an option for the Nationals at #6 if they receive an overwhelming offer for Chad Cordero during the season. But if they pass on him, he’s likely to be selected somewhere in the top 10-12 picks.
