"“No college pitcher has more helium heading into the draft than Boston College right-hander Justin Dunn. In his latest mock draft, MLB.com’s Jim Callis wrote: “The hottest draft rumor right now is that Seattle is going to take Dunn, and we’ll play along.” So will we. The Eagles closer to start the season, Dunn saw his draft stock take off after moving to the rotation in April, where his four-pitch repertoire played as well as scouts—many of whom had always pegged him as a future starter—had envisioned. All told, Dunn has gone 4-1 with two saves and a 1.49 ERA, 1.028 WHIP and 66-16 K-BB ratio in 60.1 innings He has a chance to be the first college right-hander taken, with the pecking order for those arms still somewhat up in the air. We have him going after Dakota Hudson, but don’t be surprised if he sneaks into the top 10. If that winds up happening, the Mariners could target a handful of other collegiate arms or prep outfielder Blake Rutherford with this pick.” – Joel Reuter, Bleacher Report"
