Dang, we needed him next year. Good luck Carson!

[CajunJack55]

Def could have used him on the mound next year. Good luck Carson!

[Hammer58]

Thanks for contributing to a great year. Good luck.

The Dodgers selected Baranik, the Sun Belt Conference's Pitcher of the Year and a third team Louisville Slugger All-American, in the 33rd round of last week's Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

I think his age has something to to do with his decision. I read that he is 22. That probably was a big part of his reasoning.
