Top 50 Twins Prospects: #35 Billy Bullock

35. Billy Bullock


Starting Pitcher

Throws: Right

Age: 21

ETA: 2011

Potential: Late inning bullpen pitcher

2010 outlook: A Fort Myers closer


Billy Bullock was the Florida Gator’s closer in college. He was drafted in the second round of this year’s draft by the Twins. He was one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the draft, reaching up in the high 90’s. He pitched a little in the Twins minor leagues this year after the draft in low-A Beloit. He had a 2.73 ERA with 8 saves and 35 strikeouts in 26 innings. He also gave up 12 walks, but no homers. I like Bullock a lot and he should move up the system quickly, being one of the best bullpen arms they have.
