Catcher converted to the mound. Folks are reminding that J.J. Putz took the same route.
Another big righty: 6-5, 220; out of Division II Mount Olive College, and was a finalist for the "Tino Martinez Award" for the top player in Division II (who knew?).
Throws mid-to-upper-90s and has the somewhat eye-popping K/BB ratio of 129 K/ 18 BB. Went 10-0 as a redshirt frosh and 14-1 this year (and tossed a no-hitter).
Has been a starter, but most assume he will be go to the pen due to weaker secondary pitches.
