Bauserman gave up a scholarship to Ohio State as a quarterback to sign a week and a half after the 2004 draft. Like J.R. House, he split time between locations to play both football and baseball in HS—in his case, Virginia for football and Florida for baseball. He threw a fastball that reached 96 in HS, although it was more often in the low 90s. He was regarded as having a good curve and change. He wore down during the spring before he was drafted, losing velocity and command, and according to BA some scouts doubted his makeup. In the GCL, his fastball registered only about 89-91, which may have indicated that he was still tired. Nevertheless, he had a very strong GCL debut, allowing fewer walks and hits combined than IP and fanning nearly a batter an inning. He spent 2005 at Williamsport and had a good, but not overwhelming, season. His ERA was better than his other #s, as he had control problems occasionally and didn't fan many hitters. He should be at Hickory in 2005.
