On the second day of the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft the Chicago White Sox selected left-handed pitcher Jace Fry with the 77th overall selection, the third pick of the third round.

Fry, a junior out of Oregon State, had Tommy John surgery in 2012, but as his MLB.com scouting report states, ha is “showing no ill effects.”

His scouting report also says about his pitching:

"“Fry uses deception and pitchability to allow his average stuff to play up. His fastball will top out in the low 90s, but it has a good amount of sink and tail to it. He’ll add and subtract from his curveball to give hitters different looks, and his changeup often features good sink. He attacks hitters well, though he can get into trouble when he doesn’t keep his stuff down in the zone.”"

Fry (6-1, 200 pounds) was previously drafted in 2011 in the ninth round by the Oakland Athletics.

This season with the Beavers, Fry was 11-2 with a 1.80 ERA in 16 starts. He pitched four complete games and his innings count reached 120.1 total on the season.
