I thought Casey Haerther was already taken.

Nick Wooley was taken already.

how is daniel meeley of Connors State not chosen yet, or atleast spoken about…? one of the best hitters in the nation..whats going on?

Casey Haerther went with the last pick of the 5th round.

Inch from Canada was taken today by the Phillies. Just an update.

Haerther and Bibona were drafted by the angels and cardinals respectively I believe. which I believe would give the cardinals two consecutive UCI aces but id think Bibona goes back to school. Kaupang has massive power but struggled last year USD and also had some character issues I believe but raked at cypress in the best jc conference in california if not the nation. Cutspec has had a smooth swing since his days as a catcher at westminster hs. Thomas had a down year but the is impressively strong for someone of his stature and has great speed. He will only add to the speed game at Fullerton.

so was Daniel Bibona

Nick Wooley was taken by the Royals already.

As was Bilbona by the Cardinals.

Getting some of these corrections made; thanks to all our attentive readers!

Justin Collop from Univ. of Toledo is off the board. Went to CWS in the 6th 193 overall

What about Chris Carmain of St. John’s Prep (Mass)? He hit 3 HRs the other day in 20-2 rout.

John, or anyone from BA, is their any indication of what Maddox’s asking price is? And if so do you think it would be worth it to meet it at this point?

Has anyone heard about Kevin Franchetti out of Andrean High School in Merrilville, Indiana hes a great catcher.

How does Nate Lape not get drafted? Drafted in 20th round as a junior. He played well in the Cape and was a top 100 college prospect before the season???

How does Eric Pettis, Christian Bergman, Francis Larson etc. from UCI not get drafted? Almost no Juniors were drafted from the team that beat Fullerton 2 times (nearly 3), won the Big West handily, led the polls for most of the end of the season, and hosted the arguably toughest regional in the country. Something’s fishy.
