Spangler was eligible for the draft as a redshirt sophomore.  He made huge strides over his freshman year, when he made the team as a walkon, especially with his walk and K numbers.  According to Baseball America, he bulked up and increased his velocity from the low-80s to around 90.  He also has a good curve and good control.  The Pirates' system is short on LHPs . . . well, on pitchers generally . . . so Spangler would be an interesting addition.  As a sophomore, however, he may not be easy to sign.
