One of the top collegiate hitters in the 2009 draft class, Rich Poythress is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound first baseman who has spent the last three years at the University of Georgia. He has been on the pro radar since his high school days, as he participated in the Perfect Game USA showcase event. But he decided to take the college route to gain more experience and refine his plate approach. Poythress, who had a 14.8% walk rate, 13.7% strikeout rate, and .388 isolated power this season, chatted with me about his skill at third base, growth since high school, and thoughts on the draft.
