3. Lance Lynn, rhp, Cardinals, supplemental first round (39th overall)
Lynn, 22, was one of the most advanced pitchers in last year’s draft. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound righthander from Mississippi has shown why, already reaching Double-A Springfield. Lynn struck out 17 and walked three in 15 2/3 innings to open the season with high Class A Palm Beach, where he left with a 2.30 ERA. He’s made five starts since his promotion, posting a 2.54 ERA with 23 punchouts and seven walks in 28 1/3 innings. Lynn has an advanced delivery, pounding the strike zone with fastballs in the high-80s to low-90s. He could reach the big leagues at some point in 2010.
