Kirby’s absence leaves Tyler Jay (Illinois) and A.J. Minter (Texas A&M) as the only southpaws on the staff. Minter was hurt for much of 2014 and threw 24.1 innings in 2014, but CNT pitching coach Rob Childress (Texas A&M)—who was manager Dave van Horn’s (Arkansas) pitching coach at Nebraska in 2001 when the Cornhuskers made their first trip to Omaha—knows what Minter can offer.


Banks was not talked about in the article.

This was Baseball America's writeup for AJ Minter:

quote:
A.J. Minter, lhp, Jr., Texas A&M

Although Minter has never started a game in his college career, he was worked for a starter’s workload of three innings the first time Team USA went through the pitching rotation. He worked three scoreless innings and did not walk a batter, while striking out two on six swinging strikes. Minter, who pitched exclusively out of the stretch, also employed a fastball-heavy approach, deploying his heater on 85 percent of his pitches. For his first 10 pitches of the outing, all fastballs, Minter’s heater sat 93-95 mph before sitting 90-91, touching 92 in his next 2 1/3 innings. Despite effort to his delivery and a headwhack, Minter consistently worked ahead of hitters, throwing first-pitch strikes to eight of the 10 hitters he faced and putting six hitters in a 0-2 count. He did not throw a breaking ball in the outing, but showed feel for a changeup that some scouts said showed plus potential with considerable bottom. The 6-foot, 210-pound Minter has a strong, physical build without much projection. He has walked 4.1 per-nine in his career against 9.7 strikeouts.

A.J. definitely has the "stuff" to be a star.
