Le?n Becomes First AviatorThe North Carolina Aviators have selected starting pitching prospect Norberto Le?n with their first pick in the AFBL dispersal draft. Norberto is a bit undersized for a starting pitcher, but is extremely bright and should be able to overpower hitters with his excellent fastball nonetheless. Norberto is also good with a chance to be great with the curveball and changeup, and mixes in a sub-par slider to catch batters off guard. In addition to that, scouts expect him to have elite stuff when he peaks. At 23, the young righty should be a fixture in the Aviators rotation for years to come.
The Aviators held the 2nd overall pick in the draft (the Oregon Explorers selected SP Ant?nio Lozano first overall), and now must begin the long wait for their 2nd pick, which comes 31st overall.
