The Astros select 6'2" 190lb RHP Brenden Stines, senior from Ball State University.
Stines appeared in 17 games for BSU in 2009, including 13 starts to earn his third letter with the Cardinals. He tallied a 4-4 record on the year with a 5.77 ERA, 64IP/43K. He was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Pitcher of the Week after tossing 7.0 innings of three-hit baseball as he limited Northern Illinois (May 9) to one unearned run while striking out a career-high 11 batters.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
