That's the nature of small-school mid-round draft picks.
Helsley works easily at 96, touches 99-100 and holds his velocity late into outings to go with 2 plus off-speed pitches. I think he'll be a full time starter in the majors by 2019.
Can't always trust the lists; sometimes a deep dive is necessary. I really like what a lot of our low minors pitchers bring to the table, they just don't have the track record yet to hit national radars.
I absolutely think they'll get there.
