The 2013 season is behind us and I'm checking how picks 11 to 20 of the 2009 draft did this season. Traditionally players drafted out of college advance faster than those drafted out of high school and pitchers usually advance faster than position players. Some players might also be traded to help their team get an established player that can help their team improve immediately.
The Colorado Rockies drafted LHP Tyler Matzek 11th out of Capistrano Valley High School in Mission Viejo, CA. He pitched in 2013 at Double A Tulsa. He was 8-9, 3.79 ERA, 95 K, 1.57 WHIP in 142.1 IP over 26 games.
