Indiana State heralded junior left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea will miss his scheduled start against Wichita State Friday night with a strained hip muscle, an injury Sycamores head coach Rick Heller doesn't believe is serious.

"We're hoping he can pitch Saturday or Sunday for us this weekend," Heller said. " But right now, he's out with a strained hip muscle."

In his place on Friday, the Sycamores have moved Devin Moore up in the rotation. Manaea, meanwhile, continues to have a very good campaign for the Sycamores, sitting in good shape with a 1.14 ERA in 39 1/3 innings of work. He also has struck out 46, walked 13, while teams are hitting him at only a .172 clip.

Manaea, along with Stanford right-handed pitcher and Oklahoma right-handed pitcher Jonathan Gray, is considered to be a candidate for the top pick in the upcoming MLB draft.
