With the 1st pick in the 30th Round (909th overall), the Astros select 6'2" 195lb RHP John Neely, out of Texas Tech. Neely graduated from Clements HS in Sugar Land.
In 2012, he threw 56.1IP, allowing 64H/30ER, 35K:14BB, and a .291 BAA.
At one point this season, Neely threw 49.2IP without allowing a homer - the longest stretch by a Texas Tech pitcher in over ten years.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
