    Once considered a likely first-round pick, DiNardo's status has dropped with his velocity this spring. He was winless in his final three starts as Stetson lost its last eight games entering NCAA regional play, and his fastball was down in the low to mid-80s. He has touched the low 90s, but the bottom line is that he hasn't pitched as well as he did in 2000, when he went a combined 21-1 for the Hatters and Team USA. He's a 6-foot-4 lefthander, his fastball has good life, his changeup and slider are solid, and he knows how to pitch. He needs to improve his location, because he gets hammered if he leaves his pitches up in the strike zone.
