In the past two years, we have seen the St. Louis Cardinals draft two pitchers who made big league impacts just one year after they were drafted. In 2013, Michael Wacha, who was picked 19th overall in the 2012 draft, made 15 appearances for the Cardinals in the regular season and ultimately won the NLCS MVP for his efforts in the playoffs. This year it was Marco Gonzalez, who was picked 19th overall in the 2013 draft and is now pitching in the bullpen for the Cardinals in the NLCS. The Cardinals took another college pitcher in the first round of this year’s draft in Luke Weaver. Could he make a similarly quick rise to the big leagues?
