According to Baseball America, Inman entered the 2009 season as a potential first round pick due to his showing as a sophomore and in the Cape Cod League.  That sort of endorsement seems overstated to me, as his 2008 performance wasn’t all that good, especially his K rate.  He clearly went downhill in 2009, though.  His low-90s velocity dropped until it finally hit the low-80s and he was shut down for the season with shoulder tendonitis.  BA still rated him the 47th best prospect in California.  Given his situation, it seemed to make sense for him to return for his senior year and try to re-establish himself as a top prospect.  The Pirates, however, were able to sign him just before the deadline for $425,000.  Inman was able to appear in a couple games before the season ended and had no problems, which is encouraging given the shoulder problems.  In fact, he threw his fastball 93-95.  He could open 2010 at West Virginia.
