Summary

Whitley is a tall, hard-throwing, Texas-born right handed pitcher. Heard that before? Like many an amateur flamethrower before him from this great state, Whitley is a top prep prospect in next week's draft. Though Texas doesn't seem to churn out the same number of high school arms as they have in years past (there's about one first rounder a year), Whitley will look to carry the torch into pro ball.
