2006 California Underclass
Sean Buford is a 2007 RHP/IF from Bullard HS, residing in Fresno, CA, with a 6'2" 177 lb. frame. He has a good pitcher's build; long and somewhat athletic. Buford pitches from an over the top slot and drifted a bit while pulling some to the 1B side. Both of those flaws are correctable or overcomeable with more rhythm. His 77-81 mph FB has some down angle in the zone. Buford used a slow 12/6 shaped CB and had pretty good command and feel of that pitch. At the plate he hit with an open stance and hands held high in his set-up. He displayed some balance and a flat swing plane. Defensively he took decent angles to the ball and the ball exited his hand well, though with a bit of a long release. Consider Buford a follow at the small college level. His feel for the CB is good and his body interesting. The FB velocity still could come with a body that is still pretty projectable.
