In perhaps an attempt to draft the entire Fresno State pitching rotation, the Pirates took their second Fresno State pitcher – lefty Justin Wilson – in the fifth round.
Wilson is the teammate of Tanner Scheppers, who the Pirates took in the second round.
Wilson is a 6-2, 210-pound left-hander who was 7-4 with a 4.17 ERA in 19 games (15 starts) with the Bulldogs. He struck out 83 and walked 53 in 99 1/3 innings and allowed 99 hits.
Wilson's best season was in 2007 as a sophomore when he was a First Team-All-Western Athletic Conference selection. Wilson was 8-5 with a 3.19 ERA and 105 strikeouts in 101 2/3 innings. He also allowed only three home runs as a sophomore.
Wilson was a dual threat as a freshman as he struck out 34 in 25 innings pitched and also had a .412 batting average (7-for-17) with three doubles and five RBI as a pinch-hitter.
