"One of the pitchers taken on Day 3 was Shane McCatty, son of Nationals pitching coach Steve McCatty. The younger McCatty had an 11.89 ERA in his senior season at Oakland University, but the Nationals took a flier on him with the 1,012nd overall pick. "

However, his ERA/Pick ratio is about 0.01--much better than Stras' 1.32...
