JUCO Commits

[TarHeel408]

UK just picked up a commitment from the top JUCO player, Jackson Rutledge. Rutledge pitched at Arkansas last year and is with San Jacinto CC now.

Also saw that Oraj Anu and Matthew Golda recently committed. Anu hit 11 HR's and drove in 60 in 54 games for Wallace CC last year

Coming out of HS in 2017, Golda was Perfect Game #101, Anu was #110, and Rutledge was #126. https://www.perfectgame.org/Rankings/Players/NationalRankings.aspx?gyear=2017

Might have to worry about these guys getting drafted before they make it to campus though.

I could be wrong, but I think Rutledge might have to be here 1 year before draft eligible. Usually have to wait 3 years or be over 21, iirc. He will be a sophomore in 2019 and a junior that would play for us in 2020.

#1 juco pitcher in the country, right?

Actually the number one overall. So, yes, number one pitcher as well. Lol apparently he can opt for the draft though.
