Recently, I listened to my first no-hitter of the season. Oklahoma City’s Bryce Milligan blanked Grand View (Iowa) in a seven-inning game, allowing merely a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Milligan is one of the basic types of pitchers that’s worth looking for in lower-rung college ball. He chose to play for the Stars out of high school, and has developed into a draft candidate come June.
A six-foot junior from Blanchard, Oklahoma, Milligan has a three-pitch arsenal, with a fastball that usually resides in the 88-92 range. Toss in a curve and a change-up, and Milligan has the mix needed to get hitters out in the minor leagues.
