2015 MLB Draft: Astros Select Thomas Eshelman, RHP, Cal-State Fullerton

"Who?"

That was the response from most TCB commenters on the draft open thread immediately after Enos Cabel announced the Astros second round pick tonight. That's not a shot fired at our community; instead, I'll briefly summarize what this college righty brings to the table.

Eshelman is your quintessential NCAA Friday night starter- he's durable, throwing over 360 innings in his college career (which is kind of insane), and has impeccable control, as he's walked only 17 hitters in his entire career, coming from the same school as minor league slugger J.D. Davis.

His fastball sits in the low-90s, occasionally hitting 93, with a few decent breaking balls mixed in.
