Colt Griffin of the Wichita Wranglers
This is from my newsletter report about last night's game.
Colt Griffin, RHP
I finally got to see the infamous 2001 draft pick. Literally every time I would make an effort to see Colt Griffin the last three years, the game would be rained out or the schedule changed. I didn't see any 100 MPH fastballs out of him. In fact, his velocity was rather disappointing.
