Chris Munnelly - RHP

College: North Carolina 
Class: 2009
HS: Forsyth Country Day 

Partin on Munnelly: "Chris is a front-line starter for us. Stuff-wise he is real nasty. He's dynamite on the mound - an 88-90 mph fastball with good late action, electric power curveball and he's got great feel for his change-up. His stuff should be illegal at his age. Chris has a mean streak a mile wide on the mound too. He gets amped up and attacks hitters. He works real quick so his teammates love playing behind him. He's so competitive out there - he's ferocious. When things are in synch with him, odds are it's lights out for opponents. Chris will pitch a lot of big games for the Dirtbags in 2008, you can count on that."
