Hughes was considered one of the top prospects in the country as a HS junior, but his stock fell badly with a mediocre senior season.  He went to Santa Clara, but struggled and, in the wake of coaching changes, transferred to Long Beach State, where he was the #1 starter in 2006.  He's not overpowering, as the mediocre K rate shows, and mostly relies on getting ground balls.  He throws four pitches that are described as average or a little below, including a fastball around 90 and a slider.  He profiles as a back-of-the-rotation starter.  He signed shortly after the draft and should head to Williamsport.
