Scott Effross isn’t particularly big (6-foot-1, 200 pounds), he doesn’t have a blazing fastball (92-94 mph), and you won’t find him at the top of any prospect lists. But you will find him atop the pitcher’s mound more often than not. And if he keeps up the same consistency that led one college scout to nickname him “Every Day Effross,” you’re going to be hearing a lot more about him in the future.
Selected by the Cubs in the 15th round of the 2015 draft, Effross pitched a combined 21 innings between Mesa and Eugene in his first professional campaign.
