Kyle Funkhouser is a 6'2", 218 pound right handed pitcher for University of Louisville who was undrafted out of high school. Funkhouser usually throws three pitches, a fastball, slider, and changeup, but has thrown a curveball at times. The biggest worries about Funkhouser are his inability to command his pitches, and not having a great secondary offering. Funkhouser got off to a hot start at the start of the season, hitting 98 mph and his slider looking above average, but now he is struggling to get his fastball into the low nineties, and his slider is not looking better then average, so his stock has taken a hit. His fastball is usually 92-95, and his slider and changeup are usually around 83 mph, and when he uses his curve it is around 79-80 mph, but his fastball is his only an above average pitch, making him fall on draft boards. If Funkhouser is going to start in the big leagues he will need to lower his walk rate, which some scouts think he could improve by adding a better follow-through in his delivery, and Funkhouser could end up in the bullpen if he can't control his pitches, but I think that the team that drafts him should give him an extended look in the rotation. The Twins were linked to Funkhouser earlier in the year, but it now sounds like they will likely pass on him, due to his velocity drop, and control issue; another thing to keep in mind is that he is represented by Scott Boras, who would likely not take an underslot deal, and Funkhouser has not performed good enough for them to give him a deal that is above, or at the bonus slot.
