...The Astros select 6'5" 215lb Blake Ford, a RHP out of Lamar University.
Ford comes out of Lufkin HS, where he posted a 3.42 ERA, going 6-4, allowing 112H/39ER, 78K:31BB in 102.2IP with a .293 BAA for Lamar, leading the team in wins, starts, complete games (4), and just about everything else.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
