On Thursday night, three rookie pitchers in the Astros Organization were part of something awesome, they threw a no-hitter just a month or so after being drafted by the Houston Astros in the 2015 MLB Draft. To add to the link that these three pitchers will always have after this game, they also all, for the most part, played high school baseball in Astros fan territory. This territory includes most of south Texas and Louisiana, or as Jonathan Papelbon would say, the “Dirty South.”

Before we get to the interviews, let’s get a little background information on the three pitchers.

Kevin McCanna: The starting pitcher was McCanna, whose name might be familiar to Rice University Alumni or Houston baseball fans in general. McCanna grew up north of Houston in The Woodlands, went to Woodlands High School. He was drafted in 2012 by the San Diego Padres in the 22 round but choose to go to play for Rice instead. He was drafted by the Astros in the 2015 draft with the first pick in the 13th round. click here for complete story
