Where is it now being broadcast. The MLB network went to something else.
On MLB.com. They are streaming it there.

Former Vandyboy J-Henry Malloy is a Brave. Drafted ahead of IT.

Carter Holton (MLB rated #128) and Devin Futrell (MLB rated #224) have tweeted indicating that they will be coming to Vanderbilt.

Great! A 5 star and a 4 star left handed pitcher!

We’ll probably lose the 3 high schoolers who have been drafted. I’m wondering if they are staying away from some of the VU commits because they would be more difficult to sign. Morales was our 6th rated pitcher and the 5 above him haven’t been drafted. That’s a great sign because the money after round 10 is fairly weak. I’m surprised Maldonado hasn’t been selected.

Holton and Futrell may have decided, "If I'm not drafted by Round X I will just keep my Vanderbilt commitment."

Or they may have told the big league teams that they are keeping their Vanderbilt commitment and that's why they have not yet been drafted. If so, you could see their names called in the very late rounds by some team hoping to change their minds.

You could probably add lefty batting shortstop Jonathan Vastine to that list as he was rated #146 by MLB.com.


By the way: I haven't seen our old friend Luke Smith of Louisville on the draft board. That's too bad.
