Someone please give me the inside scoop on this young man. How, with all the credentials he had as an high school player and as a Perfect Game kid, did he not get drafted before the 37th round?
How someone can explain!
Thanks!

I'd assume he wanted a lot of money and was a longshot to sign.

Yea he actually told MLB teams he wasn't going to sign, I checked. Google is a good resource

Dude's a freaking lumberjack.

He looks like the big Russian in the James Bond movie "From Russia With Love".

Seriously. Mainieri needs to quit fricking around and sign a few kids like that.

I don't think the MLB was impressed with his knuckles. Said they looked feminine.

He doesn't play in the field? Just a DH?
Posted on 6/21/16 at 8:47 pm to hg
I want to say he also pitches but they shut him down for the year already

He throws low-mid 90s also but had some shoulder problems I think. Just an incredible baseball player. I think he can play the OF but might be a 1B/DH at the next level.
Him and the TCU closer who throws mid-upper 90s were on the same high school team

Yep. He told MLB teams that he wanted to go to college
Posted on 6/21/16 at 8:54 pm to TheWalrus
He turned down a million

He wanted TAMU, but somehow they missed the best college hitter in 20 years. I can't imagine this guy with the 2010 bats.

He verbaled then said no
His parents are Aggies which made it so surprising.

if he wanted us he would have come here. He was one of the top players in the country, everyone recruited him. I think we were lazy in his recruitment since he was a big time legacy and lost out on him because of that (and his buddy going to TCU). Definitely sucks for us though.Posted on 6/21/16 at 9:08 pm to nerd guy

This. All we sign are 5'7" 165 lb lightweights. We need some fricking apes in our lineup.

Baker is going to be the Van Poppel or AD of aTm baseball recruiting
The guy who was all but set to go to the big state school but nope.

Yeah it's going to sting even worse if they keep matching us up in the Supers and he keeps destroying us for the next 2 years

Yeah, 6'4" 265 lb guys with elite hand and eye coordination are so common. Everybody should sign one.
