Great stuff from a very good reporter.
“Wichita State has a reputation over the last 30 years of being the best pitching school in America,” he said. “During those 30 years, we’ve had 68 guys sign pro. During that time, we’ve had 13 guys that have pitched in the big leagues. We’ve had nine first-round drafts. We’ve had 18 All-Americans; we’ve had 13 freshman All-Americas.”
