WVU catcher Tobias Streich was drafted in the fifth round Wednesday by the Minnesota Twins. A defensive whiz who can hit it, too, Streich told me he’s 99.9-percent sure he’s going pro.

Uh, really? He’s known the regional scout for a while and a friend/mentor was drafted byu the Twins in 2001. Say goodbye to a really good player.

I’m 100-percent sure he’s going to rue the “How do you say your name?” routine again (it’s strike) and equally certain we’ll see a few “Opportunity streichs” or “Twins throw strike, pick catcher Streich” headlines. Others? I’m giddy.
