Mike Minor was an exciting arm out of the pitching factory of Vanderbilt. Both a first-round draft pick and top-100 prospect for the Atlanta Braves, Minor’s MLB career never fully panned out as hoped. That’s not to say he hasn’t made a career for himself.
Let’s take a look back at Minor’s career.
Minor was a ridiculous high school pitcher. He threw 12 complete game shutouts in 13 starts for Forrest High School (Tennessee) and posted a 0.08 ERA with 188 strikeouts in his senior season. Despite being drafted in 2006 by the Tampa Bay Rays, Minor elected to go to Vanderbilt.
