College World Series Scouting Preview

Florida State

Left hander John Gast was the Seminoles' highest drafted player. His fastball will show above-average velocity and his power curveball has a chance to be an out-pitch. But Gast struggled to end the season and it's likely that the only action he'll see in Omaha will be out of the bullpen.

Arizona State

Spence's Friday night replacement, Seth Blair, was a supplemental round pick of the Cardinals, 46th overall. Blair's fastball has plus velocity and movement. He has a deep repertoire of secondary stuff, lead by a curveball that is at least average with a chance to be plus.

Closer Jordan Swagerty can run his fastball into the mid-90's but his best pitch is an outstanding curveball, one of the best in the nation. He'll get to follow his college teammate, Blair, in his development as the Cardinals took Swagerty with their second round selection.
