Background
As is so often the case, the Cardinals have uncovered another pitcher with huge upside for their already deep stable of organizational pitching. I am very impressed with right-handed pitcher Luke Weaver.
Weaver attended DeLand (Fla.) High School and earned a selection by the Blue Jays in the 2011 Draft. Instead, he elected to pitch for Florida State.
Weaver worked his way to becoming a staff ace for the Seminoles, earning prestigious awards and honors, including being named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Team in 2014. He was on the ACC Academic Honor Roll throughout his career and made the Florida State Dean's List in '13.
