MLB trying to sell us that college is the best place to develop players while I’m watching an 18-year-old who threw 5 innings yesterday come into a game today in a 2-0 count with runners on will take incredible sales skills.
MLB International Draft + pushing the signing age to 18 will kill baseball in Latin America.
If you don’t believe me, see the talent coming out of Puerto Rico before and after 1989.
The data is there.
Elon’s Ryan Sprock will not stop hitting the ball.
He’s now on his 3rd straight multi-hit game, has his 5th hit since yesterday and he of course is now on a team-record 14-game hitting streak.
Coming out of hibernation for the MLB Draft 💤
There are two 21 y/o NCAA prospects with the following:
> 105.5 90th% EV
< 20 chase%
< 18 whiff%
> 25 barrel%
Vahn Lackey and...
Caden Ferraro
Not to mention Ferraro blows the EV, whiff, and barrel measures out of the water.

In the second inning, Ryan Sprock's single extended his hitting streak to 13 games, matching Walker Jenkins (2024) for the second longest streak of the Mussels’ era.
Kicking off draft season with one of our favorite bats in the country, RF Caden Ferraro out of Texas Tech. Late 1st round grade on him despite defensive limitations. Comment who you want to see next!
Ryan Sprock extends his hitting streak to 1⃣2⃣ games with a PINCH-HIT 3-run homer!!
It's the longest hitting streak for a Mussel since Walker Jenkins in 2024.
