How's that work, have the Yankees been in contact already? 5th round is pretty damn high! That's awesome, I'll keep an eye on it.

He got a lot of attention after summer ball last year due to his microscopic era. The sox made an offer and the Yankees promised to match it. He wanted to play senior year and finish college though but has stayed in contact. I don't really know how it all works but he does. He's not only a crazy good baseball player but a crazy good at math and stats and analyzing stuff. When he wants to know how stuff works he studies his ass off. He can list how the drafts turn out and signing bonuses for college senior pitchers like him for the last 20 years.

Problem with being a senior is you don't have leverage. You either get drafted or get a job. As a junior you can choose which means more options. We'll take whatever we can get and I'm already so proud of him. If you had told me 6 years ago that he'd be playing d1 college ball I wouldn't have believed you. If you had told me 2 weeks ago that he'd throw a CG shutout against one of the top hitting teams during the ACC tourney, I would've laughed in your face. It's been a crazy amazing ride (and made for a much needed 6 day vacation for me!)
