With the 315th overall pick in the 2016 Major League Baseball draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected right-handed pitcher from Morehead State, Mathew Anderson. Anderson, stands at 6’2” and weighs 200 pounds.
When Anderson was drafted he most intriguing thing was his strikeouts per nine inning stat. In his 2016 college season his k/9ip ratio was almost 13 strikeouts per nine innings pitched. Obviously this a really impressive number, however there was a down side. His walks per nine innings pitched was at four, which suggested that he has issues with command. He could be considered wildly effective.
