    The 2001 Conference USA pitcher of the year, Maine saw his wins drop from 12 to five and his ERA rise from 3.82 to 5.61. Besides his performance, scouts also worry about his long arm action, which hindered his command and could lead to injury. He still has plenty of talent in his arm to tantalize a team in the first five rounds. The velocity on his fastball actually improved, rising to 89-93 mph, and he has a loose 6-foot-4, 185-pound build. His slider reached 88-89 mph last fall, though it flattened out this spring as his mechanics went awry. Maine seemed to be getting back on track when he one-hit Cincinnati and fanned 13 in seven innings, before he gave up a total of 15 runs in his final two starts.
