June 5, 20187 yr https://sports.yahoo.com/convicted-child-molester-likely-chosen-mlb-draft-151015468.html Passan article on teams considering Luke Heimlich (which would also be a terribly difficult question for Madrigal to have to answer...should the White Sox select your teammate, too?)
June 5, 20187 yr Konnor Pilkington TLDR Pilkington has had an assortment of 50 to 55 pitches and command for his whole college career but it's been more 50 stuff this spring.
June 5, 20187 yr FWIW Konnor has pretty similar strikeout numbers to Brady Singer. BB/9 pretty comparable too.
June 5, 20187 yr NOOOOOO!!!! about Spillane, not Pilkington Edited June 5, 20187 yr by GenericUserName
June 5, 20187 yr Nice pick...needed some high floor LHP starter candidates who could potentially up move fast. Especially if A stuff returns from earlier in collegiate career at MSU. Edited June 5, 20187 yr by caulfield12
June 5, 20187 yr Konnor Pilkington 4YRLHP Notes: School: Mississippi State Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 225 | B-T: L-L | Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Pilkington has established himself as a reliable starter throughout his college career at Mississippi State, in the Cape Cod League and with USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team. He shows an advanced understanding of pitching and what he needs to do to get outs. Pilkington is not overpowering and he typically pitches at 89-92 mph, but his fastball can reach 94 mph. His curveball has above-average potential and he has worked to improve his changeup to give him a third offering that is at least average. At his best, Pilkington can both land his curveball for strikes and make it a chase pitch out of the zone. He repeats his delivery well and can locate his fastball to both sides of the zone effectively. Pilkington is one of the youngest college players in the draft class and won’t turn 21 until September. Given his feel for pitching, size (listed at 6-foot-3, 228 pounds) and track record, he has the look of a solid starter at the pro level.
June 5, 20187 yr That's a good write-up for a third round pitcher. Both BA and Fangraphs had him about 20 spots ahead of spot 81.
