Drafted in the 9th round (281st overall) by the Oakland Athletics in 2013 (signed for $7,500).
View Draft Report
Stalcup has ranked among the NCAA Division II leaders in strikeouts per nine innings in both of his years at Pittsburg State, finishing 16th in 2012 (10.8) and standing fifth this spring (12.0) heading into the D-II College World Series. He struck out the first nine Central Oklahoma batters he faced and finished with a school-record 15 whiffs in a seven-inning game on March 26. The athletic 6-foot-2, 195-pounder gets his strikeouts thanks to his 88-93 mph fastball, solid curveball and the deception provided by a delivery that one scout compared to Warren Spahn's windmill. Stalcup, who began his college career at Allen County (Kan.) CC, doesn't use his changeup much and will need to improve his command in pro ball.
