Big time congratulations to Mike Vinson on being named the #5 Pro prospect in the Valley League by Baseball America. Heres the writeup: #5. Mike Vinson, rhp, Strasburg Express (R-So., Florida) Vinson took a medical redshirt for his 2014 college season and is draft eligible in 2015. Used as a starter and in relief for Strasburg, he logged 43 innings with 39 strikeouts and just five walks. He gave up 43 hits with a 2.15 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Vinson has square shoulders and uses his size and three-quarters slot to produce a 90-93 fastball. But his best pitch is an 88-89 cutter thrown downhill that dives with natural glove-side sink. He uses it regularly along with an 82-84 slider with late break. Instead of a changeup he throws a curveball at 78-80 that has 10-to-4 action and needs tightening. Congrats to a well-deserving guy!
