    Though rivals have emerged to challenge Billingsley in becoming the first Ohio high school player drafted, the 6-foot-1, 200-pounder has been consistent for two years. He did not do anything to hurt--or help--himself this spring. He competes hard and showed above-average arm strength, touching 95 mph on occasion. He also has a hard slider. Not everyone sees Billingsley as a premium pick, though. He pitches on a flat plane and his body might be close to maxing out. If he falls, he will probably end up at South Carolina.
