    After going 10-0, 2.73 as a sophomore, Weiser projected to go as high as the second or third round, but an up-and-down junior season has dropped him down a few notches. Matt Long blew by him as Miami of Ohio's top prospect, and Weiser was demoted to the third spot in the Redhawks conference rotation for two weeks. Weiser owns four solid pitches: a fastball that sits at 87-88 mph and tops out at 91-92, a slider that's the closest thing he has to a plus pitch, a curveball and a changeup. He has run into trouble by pitching up in the zone this spring, and at times he has relied too heavily on his breaking pitches. Though he hasn't lived up to expectations, Weiser is still a lefthander who throws strikes with a variety of pitches, and that could get him drafted in the first five rounds.
