Jace Kaminska is the call-back to the Wichita State past and the preview.
Think about pitchers such as Aaron Shafer (2006) and Jordan Cooper (2009), both Baseball America Freshman All-Americans. They came in with talent and stuff. More important, they came in with advanced baseball brains.
They were drafted in the 16th(Shafer) and 17th(Cooper) rounds before wisely choosing college as a way to mature and improve their skills and draft status. Both played big roles on the staff as rookies. Both pitched on the weekend. Both started NCAA regional games with superior results.
