Reply to "College Pitching Stats"

I apologize prepster. That was stupid on my part. It was getting late. Wink

Perhaps a good example of the value of velocity would be Colt Griffin (1st round).

Another example out of college last year would be Jason Neighborgall (Georgia Tech). In 101 college innings he walked 110. Suspect mechanics, poor command, and at times has shown to lack poise and confidence.

He has high 90s to triple digit fastball and high 80s slider.He was the first pick of the 3rd round and signed for $500,000.

Obviously Neighborgall had first round velocity, but with undraftable results and control. This resulted in a half a million dollars and he went before a lot of guys who pitched much better and of course, much better stats.

I'm not saying we should all agree with the system, but that's the way it is.
