Top 5 pitchers in the 2015 MLB Draft

The Arizona Diamondbacks will open the 2015 MLB Draft with the first pick on Monday, June 8.

Here's a list of the top five pitchers:

Carson Fulmer - Vanderbilt

Height/Weight: 5-11/195 lbs.

Vanderbilt's top pitcher, Fulmer is the highest-rated arm in this year's draft. A surefire impact player, Fulmer doesn't use an easy, smooth delivery to get batters out. Instead, he's an all-out kind of arm, using everything he's got on every pitch to deliver a 94-mph heater with plus off-speed pitches. Given his makeup and success at the collegiate level, it's tough to imagine him not being selected in the top three.

Dillon Tate - UC Santa Barbara

Height/Weight: 6-2/185 lbs.

The general consensus surrounding Tate is that he's a viable No. 1 pick, simply because he knows how to command multiple devastating pitches. The UCSB righty hums a mid-to-high-90s fastball and occasionally spins an 84-mph curveball with bite. It's easy to see why the U.S. junior national team product is so highly touted.

Tyler Jay - Illinois

Height/Weight: 6-1/175 lbs.

Jay will likely be the first left-hander picked in this year's draft. From a scouting perspective, Jay's 93-95-mph fastball with arm-side run is extremely effective, and given that he's been used primarily out of the bullpen, that appears to be his comfort zone going forward. Jay also has a tendency to come across his body, forcing him to use a lot of upper-body strength that he still needs to develop.

Jon Harris - Missouri State

Height/Weight: 6-4/190 lbs.

Missouri State's ace most resembles a young Stephen Strasburg. His whip delivery and three-quarter arm slot complement his ability to get his heater from the low to mid-90s. Harris is an all-out kind of arm, like Fulmer, but he has a tendency to fall off on his pitching side. That being said, he's had an outstanding year refining his mechanics, which should bode well for him on draft day.

Kolby Allard - San Clemente HS (Calif.)

Height/Weight: 6-0/170 lbs.

The only high schooler on this list, Allard is smooth beyond his years. He's extremely quiet on the mound and then explosive upon release, delivering a steady diet of mid-90s fastballs. He's already figured out how to maintain his composure on the mound and is effective in deceiving batters with multiple plus pitches.
