Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
He has apparently withdrawn from the MLB Draft. Huge.

Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
Just the kind of news we need. Pitching is our strength as usual, but we could really improve in clutch hitting...

Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
I am very excited he is going to be attending Vanderbilt, but I still think if I was a top high school pitcher, I would keep all my options open. You let teams know what your number is (and everyone should have one), and if you don't get it, then follow through with college. No need to limit your choices at this point.

My bad …
… I thought I was in the Football Forum and we signed a new kicker.
But seriously, folks. I’m only going to remember the names of these new players AFTER they show up for the first day of classes.
I applaud Corbin and the staff for going after the best players. True, we will lose Ian Anderson, Matt Olson, et Al to the MLB draft, but we do it for guys like Pedro Alvarez, Tyler Beede and The Duke (easy to remember).

Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
Huh? Not the kind of talent we want? Here is what the MLB projected draft says:
23. Toronto Blue Jays – RHP Andrew Dutkanych, Brebeuf Jesuit Prep (IN)
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 212 lbs. | B-T: R-R | Age: 18 | Commitment: Vanderbilt
Scouting Report: Andrew Dutkanych is one of the nastiest pitchers in the class. His mid-to-high 90s fastball has excellent riding life, along with two breaking balls that get a ton of movement and depth. More specifically, some think that his slider is the best breaking ball in the prep class. Dutkanych’s changeup is still coming along, but his success versus good competition has mainly been carried by his other three offerings.
Pick Explanation: The Blue Jays have a recent history of drafting college pitching, but Dutkanych may be too good to pass up. After dealing some pitching this offseason, Toronto may look to balance out the organization with an arm at this pick.

I believe he said "not just the kind of talent we want."

Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
Think you misunderstood my comment. "not just" was the construction I meant, but "not only" would have been a much better choice as in " not only the kind of talent.......but also..." I am super glad we got this man and I sure understand your confusion; could have worded things much more clearly.commadore wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 8:57 amHuh? Not the kind of talent we want?

If the MLB Draft is moved back any further on the calendar ...
... we will see players eligible for the draft after their freshman seasons.
"Draft rules state a player attending a four-year college who is age 21 or older (or will turn 21 within 45 days of the draft); will be eligible for the upcoming draft, meaning Dutkanych, who turns 19 on July 31, will be eligible to be drafted after his sophomore year at Vandy."
Remember when Dansby got his draft notice DURING THE SUPER REGIONAL? This year the draft will start more than a month later, July 17.
I wonder if "The Duke" would have made the same decision had his college commitment been for three years....

In other MLB Draft news ...
... the mlb.com mock draft projects, among others:
#02: Druw Jones
#17: Brandon Barriera
#32: Dylan Lesko
#38: Spencer Jones (wonder if he will ever pitch in the majors?)

Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
If you are coming off TJ and can't pitch for a year, $2.2m is a no brainer. Lesko will likely go higher than that as he was the top arm in the class coming into the year.
As for Dutkanych- much needed. He is draft eligible 24, so we only get two seasons, but I'll take it as a big win. The scouting report sounds like he's more polished than Christian Little today.
Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
I saw at least one draft expect speculate that Lesko will come to Vanderbilt because he is not likely to get the signing bonus he wants, and will look to go 1-1 in 2025. That would put him in the $8-9 million range. Tommy John is not 100% guaranteed, but as talented as he is, it might be good to believe in yourself and not let some team get you for a bargain this year.Commodoredave wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 8:38 amIf you are coming off TJ and can't pitch for a year, $2.2m is a no brainer.

Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
Buzz out there tonight is Noah Schultz is also telling scouts he is headed for Vandy. Could be negotiating, but he is another huge piece of this class, ranked borderline top 20 by some.

Re: P Andrew Dutkanych says he intends to go to Vandy
Will someone get Durkanych on the phone with Druw Jones, Brandon Barriera, and Dylan Lesko and convince them to join him? Trying to build a dynasty here.
