View Draft Report
He's not a senior, but RHP Steve Sharpe is a rare fifth-year junior. After missing most of the last two years, he won his first 13 starts of 2004 before taking a no-decision in Central Missouri State's Division II College World Series opener. Sharpe pitched at the University of Iowa from 2000-02, missing much of his junior year with a strained back, then sat out 2003 after transferring. He's a strike-thrower with an 89-92 mph sinker and a hard slider. As with a fifth-year senior, he can sign before the draft as a free agent.
