As Auric told you, no Vanderbilt commits were drafted after the top 4 in the first two rounds. That's great news! I've added positions to show that we have a lot of talented pitchers and several top-notch position players. Braden Holcomb... SS-3B Ethan McElwain .... LHP Miller Green ...... LHP Cam K...

Also of note: Christian Little drafted in round 19 by the Mets. And Donye Evans by Detroit in the 16th round. Why didn't Matt Hogan (.317 / .457 / .656 / 19 HR at Oral Roberts) or Gavin Casas (.259 / .407 / .569 / 19 HR at South Carolina) get the call? I suppose Casas and Parker Noland will platoon...

The MLB Draft Tracker rates the Top 250 players (from college and HS ranks). I don't know if it is Mayo / Callis / or both. Either way, at some point they will rate each MLB team on its draft based upon how well the MLB.com ratings. Certainly not precise. But it IS telling that after 10 rounds + bon...

Good luck to RJ. No more college eligibility.

… VU commit Alex Clemmey was drafted #58 by the Indians, er, Guardians.

George Lombard first round #26 to the yankees. That's 2 recruits, plus Bradfield so far Lose another shortstop to the Yankees. Their current starting SS is former VU commit Anthony Volpe. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/volpean01.shtml I'm watching the draft on MLB.com. One of the comm...

There must be a better listing somewhere. It would help to include the sport and year.

ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel has projected Bradfield at no. 9 and possibly as high as No. 5 if a team wants to sign a player below slot. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/37969204/2023-mlb-mock-draft-30-kiley-mcdaniel-predicts-top-picks?consent_mode=ccpa Other projections have Bradfield dropping ...

… a professional journalist should know better. Perhaps the writer will see this and learn something.

And it may be five years before we see what she is getting paid, but I agree that Candice and her team have been doing a great job.

I was skeptical at first, but no longer.

Miller told The Tennessean he was released from his Georgia Tech commitment on Wednesday.

Was he released from the Georgia Tech commitment on Wednesday or is that when he told The Tennessean?

… with my favorite team, my own name and number of my choosing.

Therefore, they must be able to print a Vanderbilt jersey with the player name and number you choose.

Those were not end-of-season stats. Schreck batting .368?

At least he has a CWS Championship.

Despite the high ERA, Little was a big part of the team until he struggled (some would say “scuffled”) down the stretch.

Maybe this has been addressed, but just curious why LSU was the home team in both games against Wake. Going into their second game, Wake had been HOME 2 of 3 games in the CWS. LSU had been HOME 2 of 4 games. Wake Forest had been HOME a greater percentage of its games. Seems complicated, but I still...

… who was primarily a catcher at Air Force? Don’t recall if he ever caught a game for us, but Lupo played 3 seasons for us and was the primary Left Fielder on the 2012 and 2013 seasons with Connor Harrell in CF and Yaz in RF. Including freshman reserve outfielder Rhett Wiseman, those four committed ...

Scoreless thru 7, both Skenes (103 pitches so far) & Lowder (88 pitches) are dealing. Best pitched college game I've seen in a loooong time. Florida is very, very happy right now as they won't see either of these guys until game 3 of the final series on Monday. I want to see if Skenes starts on...

I believe Enrique will make the bigs because of his speed and defensive ability… and his batting will improve. But Second Team All/SEC Outfielder makes sense when you look at the sluggers who were ranked ahead of him. EBjr only hit .279 with 6 home runs. And despite a lot of walks, he was just third...

I suppose Skenes gets the ball today for LSU. After starting with 5 or 6 days rest all season, he will go with 4 days rest.
Tossed 123 pitches in last outing.
