Tough to call pitchers who's arms explode busts. It's a known risk drafting pitchers, especially high school pitchers high.

Heyward
One of the years I went to East Cobb the perfect game tourney, my dad and I went and played catch on a small back field at the complex. I looked across the field and saw this grown arse man playing with him dad and what I assume was his little brother. I swear I thought he was 30 years old. The Braves took him in the next draft and I realized that grown arse man was a kid He made me look 12 years old.

I submit Kevin Maas. I don't think he was drafted that high, but dude started out on fire and then disappeared.


I also submit Greg Jefferies,

Not biggest bust, but one of the more interesting busts was Wily Mo Pena

Biggest bust all time has to be Danny Goodwin. He was drafted first overall twice - once out of high school (didn't sign) then again four years later out of college (Southern U).

Got 707 career PAs over 7 seasons and hit .236.
