MLB Draft

[Comebakatz3]

By the way, thanks for the updates Blake.

 

[BluegrassBlake]

Joey Cantillo to the Padres in the 16th round.

 

[jgodek]

Heady to the Dodgers in round 23.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Got to feel sorry for Heady. I believe he went in the 12th round out of high school, but battled injuries throughout his career at UK and now he's only going 23rd. Give him credit for still playing and getting through it and getting drafted, well up from what he was drafted a year ago, but still kind of stinks that he had such poor luck.

Yup, but at least he has a degree in hand now. Tough to make it to the majors as a 12th rounder (or any round for that matter), now hopefully he has a good backup plan if things don't work out in baseball.

^ Feel like he wouldve been eaten alive had he gone out of HS.

 

[Derek Terry]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I've been out all day, but the commitments drafted so far have been: Aaron Perry, Joey Cantillo and Jackson Stoeckinger?

I was gonna say something similar. I highly doubt Connor Heady would still be playing baseball had he gone right out of high school.

 

[Derek Terry]

Looks like RHP Austin Marozas is going to school. He's not been drafted yet but he was in Baseball America's top 500 draft prospects.

agreed.

Kaden Polcovich is coming to school. Wasn't able to work out a deal with an organization.

Albert Pujols was drafted in the 13th round, Heady is no Albert, but he may make it some day to the show.

Good for us, he is highly regarded.

Have Dobzanski an Haake been selected yet

Heady has some improvements to make, but he has a good glove and some good range and some good power for his size. If he can stay healthy and put on a bit more weight then he might end up being a solid middle infielder. Not sure if he can translate that to the major, but he will still be pretty valuable to someone.

 

[deuces r wild]

For a kid as tall and talented as he is, does not really throw all that hard. I think another year in UK's weight program, and experience and he could really be a hell of pitcher next year.

He has a very easy delivery, he was hitting 93-94 against South Carolina in the SEC tournament game.He needs to take a month off regardless and let that nail heal.

Someone told me that his family is the same family that owns the big funeral home chain Arch Heady in the Louisville area. Is this true? I think he'll land on his feet in any case.

Correct.

Dobzanski was drafted in the 39th round. Doesn't look like Haake was drafted.
