Number 5 on the Compton Countdown is right-hander Shane Watson.
Why: Just scratching the surface at 91-93 with a long, lean body and flashes of a smooth delivery; he has raw arm strength and the delivery reminds me a great deal of Gausman. He needs to get stronger and more consistent with everything across the board, but it’s hard to walk away from young arms that flash the ability to run it up there. You can dream on him a bit.
