    Deters put himself on the map with 20 strikeouts in a 10-inning outing against Kalamazoo (Mich.), came back two starts later with a one-hitter against Tri-State (Ind.) and then put up 20 more whiffs against Olivet (Mich.). Deters has the arm to succeed against better competition. He's a 6-foot-4, 180-pounder with a good delivery, an 88-92 mph fastball and an average curveball. He'll need to add life to his heater and refine his changeup.
