Has Stevie emanuels been drafted yet? This is a nice writeup 

Emanuels set a Washington freshman record for appearances in 2018, when he made 34 appearances as a frequently used reliever and posted a 4.37 ERA over 45.1 innings. Since his freshman season, Emanuels has taken steps forward each year. He lowered his ERA to 2.35 as a sophomore reliever, before a strong summer in the Cape Cod League (3.68 ERA, 22 innings, 28 strikeouts, six walks) and transitioned into a full-time starting role this spring. He was the talk of Northwest area scouts and crosscheckers after four starts before the 2020 season was canceled, throwing 22.2 innings with a 0.79 ERA, 38 strikeouts and nine walks. Standing 6-foot-5, 210 pounds, Emanuels has a fastball that gets up to 95-96 mph at its best and sits in the 91-93 range. Over the summer the pitch played a bit true at times, and he tinkered with a two-seam variant to try and keep barrels off the pitch, in addition to mixing in his offspeed offerings more frequently. His slider is a potential plus pitch, a high spin-rate breaking ball that can blend into more of a curveball look at times and is anywhere from 77-85 mph. Whatever the breaking ball is called, it has the spin and shape to become an out pitch. Emanuels also throws a changeup, at its best average, though he throws the pitch infrequently at the moment. With a solid history of strike-throwing, most scouts believe Emanuels can handle a starting role, and teams all seem to appreciate the steady progress he’s made over his collegiate career. Even so, a limited starting track record could limit his ceiling in the draft.
