Kind of OT: College Baseball and Rule 4 Draft

by CHCOWNTHECENTRAL on Mar 17, 2009 1:49 PM CDT

Not sure how many people follow NCAA Baseball and it may be a little early to talk draft but I thought I would start this thread if for no other reason than to proclaim my love for next years concensus #1 pick, Stephen Strasburg from SDSU.

Through 4 games this year Strasburg's line is

ERA W-L IP H R ER BB SO 2B 3B HR AB B/Avg WP HBP

1.98 4-0 27.1 19 7 6 5 59 4 0 1 99 .192 3 1

I also figured that those of us that do follow NCAA Baseball and the draft could discuss players to watch here, perhaps providing insight for those who don't really know what names to watch for come June.

yahoo article

just read an article on yahoo sports about this kid.

so he throws 103mph… whoa!

he k’d 23 in a game last year. yikes!

but then, i read this:

His breaking pitch – a cross between a slider and curveball – is jelly to the fastball’s peanut butter. He often gets ahead in the count with the fastball then puts hitters away with the 86-mph hook. It’s got curveball action and slider velocity…

oh man. that whole thing reads like kerry wood. the article says he’s prolly going to the nationals, but is going to demand #1 pitcher money, not just #1 draft pick… if i were the nationals, i’d try to sign him now and not let him pitch anymore in college…
