Yes I know how the showcases and travel ball stuff works, I did all that myself when I was in high school.
The most telling fact to me is that he isnt listed on his high school teams roster. He may just doing exclusively showcases and travel ball instead, but that odd for him to do if he wants to get drafted. From my experience everyone does both high school and showcase.
The point I'm getting at is that I know he has an excellent frame for pitching and with the dedication could be a top flight baseball prospect. I just think he wants to play football and that he isn't playing high school baseball this year so he can focus on football. I have no source telling me this, just what it seems like from the outside looking in.

I don't know a ton about Franks and his baseball career, but I'd be really surprised if he was considered as an elite type player in the MLB draft. Winston was coveted coming out because he could play in the outfield, was a switch hitter and could also pitch, hitting between 92-94 with a good slider.
I don't know if Franks has that talent, but if he does I guess it just depends on what he wants to play. Winston would've been one of the top picks in the MLB had he wanted to go that route, instead he got drafted by Texas I think in the 15th.
Should be interesting moving forward, and I hope he decides to come to come to Baton Rouge!
