Scouting Report:
Hudson Randall is one of the top pitchers in college baseball. The question with Randall is how much his lack of elite velocity will affect his success at the next level.
Randall has great command. He walked just 10 batters in 102 innings during the 2011 season. Randall changes speeds and moves the ball around well. In games I have seen, his velocity has been between 87-90 and there are reports as high as 92. His change is a plus pitch, while both his curve and slider are quality offerings.
Randall is tall and thin, giving some hope of added velocity still to come. If his fastball were to climb a few notches, he would be a truley elite pro prospect.

Quotes:
- Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard- “He’s Greg Maddox. Everything moves, the ball stays down, he never elevates anything. So even when you get in an advantage count, he makes a quality pitch.”
