which is wild.

Idk if he was determined to go the college route it would get him to the draft a year earlier, but why not pitch in HS a couple more years and then see where you go?

like pitching in the sEC at 17 ain’t easy.

There was a flurry of guys early enrolling around that same time. Robert Moore at Arkansas did the same thing. There are still kids reclassifying every year. Josh Pearson and Brady Neal did it to get to school sooner. Konnor Griffin and Cam Caminiti did it to take advantage of a weaker HS draft class.

But Little did both. Which is nuts.

We had a catcher enroll early under Mainieri but later transferred to JUCO and then to A&M. Michael B something or other. Either way, no one that I'm aware of that enrolled early had a particularly smooth college career. Robert Moore was about the best case scenario, but even he had hiccups.

It's very difficult physically and mentally. Christian Little should be commended for working through it as well as he did and always being a good teammate and keeping a good attitude.

These guys picked what they construed as the best avenue for them to better themselves as fast as possible for what they considered the best baseball program in the country! I fully concur with their thinking!
