Bishop played for Edmonds CC and Bellevue CC before
attending Washington. He redshirted a year in junior
college as the result of Tommy John surgery in 2005,
so he should still have had a year of eligibility remaining, although he was listed
as a senior when the Pirates drafted him. It looks like he was
used as a mopup reliever at Washington, so the Pirates may have
believed that he wasn't yet fully recovered from the surgery two years ago. He
signed right after the draft and pitched in relief at State College. Except
for a slightly high walk rate he did very well, fanning over a batter
an inning. He started off 2008 in the Hickory bullpen and made a strong showing, with a
high K rate and not many runners allowed.
He was especially tough on RH hitters, holding them to a .183 average. Unfortunately,
he missed much of July and August with an injury, but he
had three scoreless outings after returning at the end of the year. The
Pirates are set to send Bishop to the Hawaii Winter League, so they appear to be optimistic
about him. He should be able to move up to Lynchburg in 2009.
