COLUMBIA | Aaron Crow has no idea how close he is to the NCAA Division I record for consecutive innings pitched without yielding a run.
Neither, apparently, does the NCAA. It’s one of the few statistics not listed in the college record book.
“And that’s too bad because he’s really doing something special,” Missouri coach Tim Jamieson said Friday night after Crow threw a shutout against Oklahoma State in No. 4-ranked MU’s 3-0 victory.
Crow — a 6-foot-3 junior right-hander out of Topeka Washburn Rural — has thrown 42 2/3 straight innings of scoreless baseball.
That is only one out short of the 43 consecutive innings thrown by Arizona State’s Eddie Bane in 1972. And if that is merely an Arizona State record, it was entered in the NCAA books the same season the Sun Devils as a staff threw an NCAA-record 64 consecutive scoreless innings.
Not since Feb. 29 against California has Crow, 6-0, given up a run, earned or otherwise. He scattered eight hits against Oklahoma State in his third complete game in the last four, and despite being struck on his right, pitching, shoulder by a line drive off the bat of the game’s first batter, Crow said he felt good all night.
Crow was a top ten pick in mock drafts before the college season started and he's been so dominant while Pedro Alvarez only returned 5 days ago. He has a really legit chance at going #1 overall.

He has a legit chance of being the first pitcher selected, I don't think he has a shot at being the #1 overall pick in the draft though.

Thats pretty high praise considering the bat's that are available: Alvarez, Smoak, Beckham ---- to take a pitcher over these guys could be quite a risk for TB to take. I still think Alvarez goes #1 to TB --- Price/Alvarez in b2b years is great!
Can never have enough pitching --- that's to be sure, but the reason is because of the injury factor = risk risk, and with those bats it could end up being tisk tisk...
1B, he's not going to stick at 3B anyway and Carlos Pena will probably be the most flexible guy there after TB gave him his first long term contract after bouncing around for years so he can DH.
Wouldnt have to worry about that for a few years --- but he's the best player available from what I hear, and if he's affordable at all for TB -then there is no reason not to grab him really as far as I can tell.

Things can always change..
I totally agree that Alavarez is the best guy in the draft and I want the Rays to take him, but that does not mean I would be heart broken with Crowe. The guy's stuff is filthy and you can never have to many arms
