Drafted in the 5th round (163rd overall) by the Boston Red Sox in 2006 (signed for $107,000)
Richardson nearly made Texas Tech's basketball team as a walk-on and was featured prominently in ESPN's related reality show, "Knight School." His 6-foot-6, 208-pound frame is also effective in baseball, as he uses it to throw on a steep downward plane. Scouts credit Red Raiders pitching coach Lance Brown for improving his control and delivery, which weren't nearly as polished when he was at Cowley County (Kan.) Community College. Though he's a senior, Richardson is still somewhat of a project. His fastball velocity ranges from the mid-80s to the low-90s, and he gets under his curveball too often, causing it to flatten out.
