Because of money? It seems like there should be a good college pitcher that makes it thru Round 1.

They’ll go significantly overslot at 41. It’s overwhelmingly likely to be a prep player with that strategy.

UCLA vs Pepperdine tonight, anyone else watching Roch instead of the wbc?

2-0 Pepperdine after the top of the 1st

Roch 0-4 with 3 LOB

Or it would have to be a draft eligible sophomore with leverage to possibly return to school...most likely prep though.

I’m very confident that it’ll be prep

I’d be totally stunned if pick 41 isn’t a high school player 

Thome? Naz kids back to back years.

This is definitely out there in the ether, and with a White Sox connected reporter in Callis.

I think they can do a lot better

Imagine going back to high school games after facing MLB stars lol

Back to Landon Thome. 1. Does he want to play for White Sox? 2. Does he want to go to college and play there?

He'll get a few million reasons to go pro.

Maryland at UCLA

seems like a good opportunity to run up some counting stats

Cholowsky 4 2 1 2 but 6 lob

Gasparino cooling off a bit

https://uclabruins.com/sports/baseball/schedule

Cholowsky 1/5 2B RBI K

Edited March 22Mar 22 by caulfield12

Roch 3 for 15 this weekend vs Maryland, 4 Ks, 0 BB, 4 rbi,

hasn't looked great

edit: just grounded into a force out at 2b

edit2: reached on an error in the 8th, run scores

apparently they gave Roch a base hit on this play, the broadcast said it was an error

Six UCLA hbp in that game.

Crazy.

Roch playing in Iowa City, Iowa this weekend against Iowa if anyone is in the area and cares to see him play...

Only the top 40 so they don't get to the Sox second pick., but they took Thome for the Braves at 26 and Contreras for the Mets at 27.
