Evan actually wasn't drafted out of high school. Devin was drafted out of high school, but he was drafted very late and it was simply because he could throw hard. Also, I think Devin had the misfortune of being on some MSU teams that were in transition and the attitude of those teams in general wasn't always where it needed to be and I think that affected him negatively as a player. Devin was also drafted before the slot system, and honestly, I don't think he would have been drafted out of high school under the current system.
If things go the way I think they will- we will start a 5th round pick, a 12th round pick, and a 21st round pick. We could have three starters that can throw pretty consistently in the 90's with their fastball, and I don't know if that has ever happened at MSU.
