Zane Schmidt out of Hutchinson Community College who is a C/DH hit 22 home runs this year as a freshman and is a recent commit for the 2020 season. Of the high school commits, Logan Britt projects well with the bat, and Blake Mayfield can contribute out of the bullpen as a freshman next year. Cam Wynne out of Johnson CC has hit 98-99mph this year as a sophomore but can be erratic.Wicked Good Ag said:
Who from this draft class do you see making the most impact next year on campus??
Who from last year will be the ones that rise up big from this seasons team??
It's more like 99%. Nowadays, with the way the bonus pool works, teams call the agent for kid they are thinking about drafting and have an agreement in place that the kid will sign for a certain amount when they pick them. If the kid balks, they pick someone else. About the only time it goes south is when their is a physical injury involved.AgFan1999 said:
If he was a draft eligible junior, I'd say no. As a draft eligible sophomore, I'd lean heavily towards no, but stranger things have happened. I'd say 75% chance he leaves, 25% chance he stays.
If you couldn't get playing time in the lineup this year, you have to question your ability to play at this level. Might be one or two exceptions, but beyond that, I expect a lot of attrition from kids who know they aren't getting play time here next year.BBGigem said:
2020 class already has 14 commits according to Perfect Game. So those offers have been out there for a while. You will see a few players that were on the roster this year not coming back. I'm not talking about the drafted players either. It happens every year and it happens to every program. I have no idea how college baseball coaches juggle the 11.7 scholarships with all of the variables that are constantly changing.
Yep and that could free up scholarship money. It is a juggling act for sure.twk said:If you couldn't get playing time in the lineup this year, you have to question your ability to play at this level.

As for the current Aggie freshman. Leaving out the obvious choices of Weber, Menefee, and Childress, I can see Hunter Watson improving and providing some pop next year along with Brandon Birdsell. Birdsell is going to Alaska this summer to play with the Mat-su Miners. The last 3 pitchers that have gone there and come back were taken in the first 2 rounds of the draft (or will be taken in the case of Lacy): Asa Lacy, John Doxakis, and Corbin Martin.
It will be really interesting to see what happens with those 3. Seems like Coleman coming back is a forgone conclusion. He's factored into the mix the 3 years, 2 of those years he's had some sort of injury plague him a bit. And with little bro on the team, it makes sense for him to come back for one more round.CypressAg09 said:
It looks like Blake, Coleman, and Foster are the 3 undrafted juniors with the most career playing time. Do we expect them to all be back next year? Personally, it seems that Coleman has the most potential of the 3, both at the plate and defensively at first base.

Whatever gamble the Rays took in using the No. 36 draft pick on hard-throwing high school right-hander J.J. Goss appeared to pay off when he said Tuesday he will go pro and forgo a commitment he made as a sophomore to home state power Texas A&M.
It may have been a gamble based on the slot value and what JJ's agent had stated he was looking for.Ags #1 said:

You might see his agent use it as a negotiating ploy if they are still working out the dollars part of his contract, but people drafted that high aren't going the college route most likely. He did slide a bit in the draft from projections from prior years, so that might be part of the hangup. The agent is trying to maximize his contract, which is what he's supposed to do.histag10 said:CoachO_08 said:

Ok. Was wondering. I heard he was still thinking about it.
