At least they used to. 2000's have begun to challenge that as the better handling of highschool pitchers has helped give some success stories recently.

That doesn't mean that the majority of high school pitchers will outperform the college pitchers, but this draft is strong in the highschool ranks. I wouldn't touch guys like Main,Beaven or Porcello. Matt Harvey has a very similiar build and motion to Homer Bailey which may make him a better risk, because that is what all picks are.
