Nice movement on his pitches. That can be just as and sometime more valuable than just velocity. That cutter that he struck him out on was pretty nasty.

Austin Henry will come to WSU. Very highly rated recruit. #72 in his class, Perfect Game 10.
Had Tommy John this spring.Comment

Minus the TJ surgery (which could be really big depending on recovery time), Austin was ranked ahead of 4th round Izzy who was #76 in that class, and another PG 10.Originally posted by shocks02 View PostComment

It's fair to say getting one of these two onto campus is a big ****ing deal and a recruiting win.

Sunflower Collegiate League (Not sure what quality of pitching these guys are seeing generally. The 316 Elite 18U are 0-26 and the Mulvane Patriots are 0-28. So I'm thinking there were some bum-slaying opportunities to be had):

Will Stark (Hutchinson Monarchs): .387 BA (24-62) - .938 OPS
Alex Birge (Hutchinson Monarchs): .357 BA (20-56) - 1.162 OPS
Most disappointing summer performance by a Shocker player to date:
Cape Cod League:
Chuck Ingram (Chatham Anglers): .111 BA (6-54) - .348 OPS
Players Who Appear to Have Left Their Summer Assignments:
Brock Rodden - Orleans Firebirds - Cape Cod League
Kyte McDonald - Fon Du Lac Spiders - Northwoods League
Matt Wilkinson - Wilmar Stingers - Northwoods League
Grant Adler - Hutchinson Monarchs - Sunflower Collegiate LeagueComment

Can you link anything to that? I've been searching and I can't find a specific detail. Only 3 players in the top 10 rounds remain unsigned, Rodden being one of the 3.Originally posted by MikeKennedyRulZ View Post
Twitter has Patrick Dunn transferring from Houston to WSU. Little used RHP would be a junior this fall.
If I was a betting man, I'd put a little something on having a stud middle infielder returning to Tyler Field this fall. (Knock on wood)
Still expecting the Rodden decision and another transfer decision.Comment

If you click on the link below it says the following at the top. Looks like 4 PM today is the deadline.Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post
Each club has until 5 p.m. ET/ 2 p.m. PT on Monday, Aug. 1, to come to terms with its Draft selections. If a player has exhausted his collegiate eligibility, he can sign at any time up until one week prior to the next year’s Draft.
Draft-and-follow picks -- high school and junior college players selected after the 10th round who attend a two-year college after the Draft -- can sign with their selecting teams for up to $250,000 up until a week prior to the following year’s Draft.Comment
