MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — John Means arrived at WVU in Randy Mazey’s first season with relatively little fanfare. Means was not heavily recruited out of high school in Olathe, Kansas and he pitched one season at Fort Scott Junior College.
Next Friday, he will get the Opening Day start for the Baltimore Orioles against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park.
“To play a game for this long is just a blessing already,” Means said. “But to be able to do it at the highest level truly is a blessing.”
Means hit a growth spurt midway through his high school career.
