Butler, the 46th overall selection, is a right-handed pitcher out of Radford University in Virginia. Baseball America rated him as the top overall player in the draft from the state. He is also a "ground ball machine with a long arm action and low arm slot that have him profiled as a reliever," writes Keith Law of ESPN.
