After beginning his college career at Arkansas Tech, Drake pitched Walters State (Tenn.) CC to consecutive Junior College World Series in 2021 and '22. He won National JUCO Pitcher of the Year honors after leading that level in wins (14) and strikeouts (160 in 93 1/3 innings) in 2022 before the Rangers drafted him in the 11th round. Already 22 when he turned pro, he looked like no more than an organizational depth piece while getting shelled in his debut last year, but he has developed into one of the system's best lefties this summer.
Drake dedicated himself to strength and conditioning this offseason, shaved 25 pounds off his 6-foot-5 frame and is moving more explosively down the mound. He has going from working at 88-90 mph with his fastball at Walters State to operating at 92-94 and touching 96 with wide angle, flat approach angle and carry. It pairs well with a solid low-80s changeup that he can fade and sink.
Drake has also improved his feel for spin, and both his low-80s curveball and tighter mid-80s slider show the potential to become solid offerings as well. He never has had difficulty throwing strikes, and improving his core strength and balance has helped him upgrade his control. He'll need to prove himself at higher levels but suddenly has the upside of a mid-rotation starter.
