Because he played three years in the SEC, Weathersby is very familiar with LSU shortstop Alex Bregman, who Astros took with the No. 2 overall selection.

"I got asked earlier this year by some guy, 'You know you've faced a lot of people, but who's the best hitter you faced in your college career?'" Weathersby said. "I said Alex Bregman. It will be cool getting to play with him because I've seen the talent and the completeness he's had to have success ever since he's been at LSU."

I'd have that guy drug tested if I ran the Astros. An argument could be made that Bregman is the best hitter on LSU's team, but it would not be an easy argument. He damn sure is not the best in the SEC.

I was driving back from Memphis a month or so ago and caught an interview Scott Weathersby was doing with a local radio show. Came across as an articulate and reasoned kid. For a college age player he provided a great interview. Bregman may well be the best hitter he's faced. From a pitcher's perspective evaluating hitters is probably more than just the end result of an at bat.

I suppose that if the question was asked another way, such as "who is the batter you've faced that you fear to make a pitching mistake against" Bregman is a more obvious answer (to some). That's a good hitter from a pitchers perspective.

Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe it could be a situation where Bregman was that one guy that this particular pitcher just couldn't get out when he faced him, no matter what? Maybe this same pitcher had better success when he faced off against Swanson, so when he is asked, he thinks Bregman was the best hitter he faced?

Nah. That couldn't possibly be the case.
