I thought this needed a thread so I started one. I'm not sure how popular it will be but I at least will be posting here from time to time.
The NCAA college baseball season got under way this past weekend. Wake Forest is pretty much the consensus no. 1 team rt now and they had a good weekend, going 3-0. They have 4 players that have a good chance of being drafted in the first round (Nick Kurtz, Seaver King, Chase Burns and Josh Hartle) w Kurtz having a legit shot at being no. 1 overall. It seems at this point that there are 4 players in contention for no. 1 draftee overall, Kurtz, J.J. Wetherholt of West Virginia, Travis Bazzana of Oregon St. and Jac Caglianone of Florida. All had good starts to the season, particularly Bazzana who had 3 HRs, 2 SBs and a slash line of .539/.600/1.308. My team, U. of MD went 2-1 on the road. I dont expect them to have a great season and they'll probably struggle to make the NCAA tournament this year but so far so good.
One notable human interest story is of East Carolina player, Parker Byrd. He lost his lower right leg in a boating accident but got a prosthetic leg and this weekend became the 1st NCAA Div. 1 player to appear in a game w a prosthetic leg. He appeared as a pinch hitter and drew a walk.
