Braves can't sign RHP Carter Stewart and RHP J.T. Ginn doesn't sign with Dodgers.

Nice haul.

That would certainly help their cause, but they haven’t made it to campus yet. It’s obvious they were drafted in the first round because it was felt they would sign. They could end up at a Junior College and enter the draft again next year. I believe Rocker could be the best of the bunch and along with Becker and Hansen gives VU the overall top pitching class, without question.

There are a lot of folks saying Stewart is going JUCO and back in the draft next year, which is supposedly a weaker class. Even if they get there, you can't count on any recruit to go out and be the Friday night guy as a freshman. It's rare.

I heard that Hansen isn't going to be at Vandy next year. I have also read that he is Mormon, so there is a 2 year mission somewhere along the line and MLB teams were hesitant to draft. I suppose we'll see, but if that info is correct, we may never see him. Still, Becker and Rocker are just a huge haul.

Who is Hanson? We had a Hankins, Hart, Hayes, Hogan, and Huff, but no Hanson. 2019 Doesn't seem to have a Hanson either.

Hansen has a mission trip , doubt he shows up in the fall.

Huff . Stills and Kolwyck are in the Futures summer league. Murphy , Malcom, Thomas and Hayes are playing in the PGCBL this summer. Becker is playing summer ball in south Florida.

Rocker and Smith are already enrolled and taking summer classes ... this allows them to start their workout and nutrition programs early and get acclimated.

Stewart will go to Chipola, Ginn to Miss St.
