Astros choose RHP Tanner Bushue in Second Round

Here are some tidbits on Mr. Bushue, who was selected with the sixty-ninth pick in the draft:

• The Chicago Tribune ranked Bushue as the second best prospect in the state of Illinois
• He is a two sport star, he played basketball as well at South Central High School
• Bushue committed to an Illinois Junior College. Signability factors in here, I would assume
  
• Throwing in the mid 90s consistently as a high schooler, one source had him as going between the 10th and 20th rounds. After reading that, I'm more sure than ever his signing won't be much of an issue
  
• The enrollment of Bushue's high school in Marissa, IL is 245. My graduating senior class had nearly three times that many people
• He has scored more than 1000 points in his high school basketball career. Has no bearing on his ability to play baseball, but it's cool nonetheless
