[edit] Biographical Information
Asher Wojciechowski was the 41st overall pick for the Toronto Blue Jays at the 2010 Amateur Draft. He was their final selection on Day 1 of the draft.
The righty was ranked 22nd overall by Baseball America before the Draft.
Wojciechowski has pitched for the USA College National Team. He had a good year pitching for The Citadel; in 17 starts he went 12-3 and tied a school record for wins in a season. He leads the NCAA Division I with 155 K's in 125 2/3 innings. He was recently named the Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year.
He throws a fastball that can hit 94 mph with slight movement, and also has a slider that can average around 83 mph. He occasionally throws a change-up. Scouts think he can be used as a starter for now, and that he may have a future as a reliever.
Wojciechowski majored in business administration at college. In high school, he earned three letters in baseball and one letter in football and received All-Region honors in baseball.
Wojciechowski signed with the Jays and made his pro debut with the Auburn Doubledays on June 22nd. He allowed just one earned run in his first three outings before going on the disabled list in July.
