2018 Draft Preview No. 9: More College Pitching

6’3”, 165 lbs

Bats/Throws: Right/Right

DOB: 28 June 1996

So, what’s so great about this guy?

Of the non-top college pitchers in this year’s draft (and by non-top I mean pitchers not likely to go in the first half of the first round), Blaine Knight might have the best combination of stuff and polish, a little like Luke Weaver his draft year. Knight can’t compete with the Casey Mizes or Shane McClanahans for completeness and hype, but he has upside that could carry him into a similar spot as Weaver all the same.
