Scouting Report: Buttrey is a highly projectable power pitcher who gained attention early in the spring when he was touching 96 with his fastball. That velocity dropped some throughout the season, likely because Buttrey was used out of the bullpen between his starts, and he was sitting in the 90-93 range toward the end of the year. Buttrey also features a good knuckle-curve that he throws between 77-79, and a developing change-up with good arm action in the 80-82 range. On the older side for a high school pick. Originally committed to the University of Arkansas.
