I see that he is a Lefty. Outfielder or 1st baseman?

Outfielder,but lets hope he doesn't get drafted.

I believe he is the player that Coach Schef mentioned as visiting Alabama but signing with us afterall.

[LatvianCajun]

I bat .211 on my school team.

He can't get drafted until after his junior season.

How does that work? Is it once you sign?

I know you can get drafted out of high school, so how does the "after Jr. Yr." come into play?

[DaddyCajun]

The way I understand it to be is: If you sign with a college out of high school as a freshman, then you can not sign with the pro's until after your Jr. season. Comming from a Jr. college I am not sure!

Daddy you are right about signing with a college out of high school, you are eligible for the draft after your sr. year of high school but are not draft eligible again until after your Jr. year of college or when you turn 21. If you go to a JUCO you are eligible for the draft after your freshman year, your sophmore year and then you Jr. year.
Hope this answers your question.
