re: LSU gets a new pitcher with a 96 mile fastball and 3 other pitches

That's a reasonable question. Guys that command 3+ pitches and sit 93-94 don't normally fall to the 18th round and get low balled on the offer. So the assumption would be no. He's a velo guy that needs work on his command and his secondary pitches.

Often times, guys that come in with 4 pitches really only have 2 effective pitches at best.

You are asking if a guy with a 96 mph fastball, drafted in the 18th round also has 3 other quality pitches?

Obviously, this guy is a project. Whether or not he'll work out will be based on whether Dunn can develop him in a short amount of time...not based on whether he's ready to be a Friday night starter when he walks through the door.
