For West Virginia today, Stephen Tarpley will take on Lexington, who will go with Scott Blewett on the mound. That's an interesting opponent, especially when you consider his circumstances. Last year, I followed Blewett closely leading up to the draft and was able to interview him in late May. He ended up going to the Royals in the second round. You could compare Blewett to the big three the Pirates took last year, Mitch Keller, Trey Supak and Gage Hinsz. In doing so you see a big difference between the Pirates and the Royals.
Blewett was rated a little higher than any of those three Pirates' pitchers, but you're still talking about three pitchers that were taken in the second round and the Pirates reportedly offered Hinsz a deal in the second round(which he turned down), before letting.
