Klein, TX-
Klein High senior Clayton Crum verbally committed to play baseball at Ohio State.
Crum was the No. 2 pitcher on the Bearkats staff last season behind southpaw Matt Purke, who was drafted in the first round in June by the Texas Rangers.
Crum, who was also the starting quarterback for the Klein football team, tore his UCL earlier this summer and had Tommy John reconstructive surgery last month.
He’ll miss the football season and play a limited role for the KHS baseball team next spring, but he’ll report to Columbus, Ohio as a freshman ready to play fall baseball.

Crum is one of the top 2010 Seniors in the state of Texas according to Donald Boyles of The College Baseball Blog and comes in at #20 in his list of the top players.

Someone raised the question about why our pitchers are so oft injured. I vetured that we may recruit perhaps athletes that are not sound / well developed for their age. This kid certainly falls in the former category. Yes, everyone will quote me the stats on the % of guys who recover from tommy John surgery (obviously John and Scott Lewis) but why take a chance on ANOTHER questionable arm? Only a few thousand college players to choose from!!
