MUNCIE, Ind. — Come to a Ball State baseball game on a Friday, and you’ll see them. They sit behind home plate in their ballcaps and sunglasses, sipping bottled water and chewing tobacco in between pitches as they scribble notes.
When the smallest of Ball State’s 34 baseball players rocks into his windup and unleashes that electric fastball of his, the MLB scouts raise their radar guns.
On a sunny Friday in April, it’s easy to spot eight of them tracking every pitch from Drey Jameson, the 165-pound flame-thrower. There were reportedly 40 scouts watching Jameson at No.
