Seems like good value in the 3rd round. MLB.com said he could possibly be a supplementary first round pick.

Bryan Hudson LHP Alton IL :

Hudson was the Midwest's popup player, for though he was on scouts' radars, he was not expected to take a leap up draft boards as he had this spring. A Missouri recruit, Hudson had done little nationally in terms of showcases aside from pitching in Jupiter at the World Wood Bat event, and at 6-foot-8, 220 pounds, he starred as a center for his high school basketball team. He's learned to leverage his size and has the body control to repeat his delivery, gaining confidence as the spring progressed. Hudson's calling card is his hard breaking ball, a curveball that scrapes the low 80s. His arm action is clean and he throws plenty of strikes, especially for a tall pitcher, with a fastball consistently in the upper 80s that reaches 92-93 mph consistently. Hudson doesn't throw a changeup yet, as he has dominated prep competition with just two pitches. Tanner Houck pitched in the same conference last year and got to Missouri, but scouts don't want to let Hudson get away, and he had plenty of helium as the draft approached.

D.J> Wilson OF Canton Ohio HS:

Wilson is a favorite of many evaluators who have seen him bring his aggressive, dirt-on-the-uniform approach to the field every day. He's undersized (5-foot-9, 170 pounds) but Wilson projects as an above-average center fielder. He’s an above-average runner (6.6 in the 60-yard dash) whose speed makes an impact on the basepaths and in the field. And unlike most shorter speed merchants, he has some strength to his swing. He shows excellent bat speed, solid contact skills and has some ability to drive the ball. Wilson is committed to attend Vanderbilt, and players his size are often asked to prove it at the college level before teams are willing to cut a sizable check. But his tools and frame draw comparisons to Adam Eaton and Wilson's decision to use wood bats all spring helped scouts in their evaluations.

#5 Ryan Kellogg LHP Arizona State:

Kellogg, a native of Ontario, Canada, was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 12th round of the 2012 draft, but turned down a chance to sign with his hometown team to go to Arizona State. He quickly found success in the desert and threw a no-hitter against No. 3 ranked Oregon State as a freshman. But this year, much like fellow Sun Devils lefthander Brett Lilek, Kellogg has been inconsistent. He's a tall, big-bodied southpaw whose pitchability outshines his pure stuff. A 6-foot-5 frame allows him to throw from a good, downhill angle, and he's at his best when he keeps the ball down in the zone. Kellogg throws his fastball around 88-91 mph with sinking action. His changeup is his best secondary offering, while his slider and curveball can be inconsistent. Kellogg has some feel for all four of his pitches and earns praise from scouts for his makeup.
