Cardinals select "flame thrower" from Texas

The St. Louis Cardinals had the 19th overall pick in the first round of the MLB draft and they selected what many scouts are calling a flame thrower.  His name is Shelby Miller from Brownwood, Texas.

Miller has a fastball that hits the upper 90’s and a pretty good curve ball.  The Cardinals like his size at 6’3 195 pounds, but there is some down side.  He is so-so with his command and hasn’t developed a third pitch yet, but those are all things he can work on in the system if he signs with St. Louis.
