    Franklin Pierce reached the Division II World Series largely on the strength of its pitching. But while a couple of crafty seniors carried the Ravens through the postseason, junior righthander Daniel Fournier and sophomore-eligible righty Shane Presutti are the intriguing draft prospects. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Fournier has a better professional body and more potential, but he was a little inconsistent this season. He racked up 88 strikeouts in 62 innings with a nasty 76-77 mph curveball that rates as a plus pitch at times. He struck out 18 batters in a no-hitter against Southern Connecticut State in late March, but biceps tendinitis slowed him down in the second half and he struggled in limited work in the postseason. Fournier wears his emotions on his sleeve, and he ratchets his fastball up from 88-89 mph to 92 mph when he gets mad.
