College all star team vs MLB team

In a three game series with the Cards, I would say a college All-Star team has a 90 % chance of being swept, a 7 % chance of taking one game, and a 3 % chance of another outcome (or rain).

Supposedly, college baseball is on par with AA play

SEC baseball isn’t even on par with AA, let alone all of college baseball.

The White Sox would sweep every time.

quote:

---

You see community colleges beating MLB teams in spring training, definitely not out of the realm of possibility that the college team could win a game.

---

This is the problem with any of these hypotheticals. If the scenario is “an exhibition game,” of course any pro team can play scrubs, or jack around, or both. I’m taking this hypothetical as “what would happen if a college All-Star team played the St. Louis Cardinals (starters and 1-2-3 rotation) in a three game set that mattered?”

Says who?


Nowhere close

who is saying this?

NPB is considered AAA level so I have a hard time believing anyone woeth listening to thinks college ball is AA

No clue how '25 would do, don't think they have the arms. '23 could do it, though.

Do you get to pitch the same guys more than once? If you get rest days and can send one pitcher out there twice, the 2023 college all star team beats a bottom of the league MLB team 2/3 with ease.

In 23, you could run out a rotation of:

1. Skenes
2. Lowder
3. Walters

Lineup of:

1. Crews RF
2. Caglione LF
3. Langord CF
4. Tommy White 3B
5. Nolan Schanuel 1B
6. Jacob Wilson SS
7. Nick Kurtz DH
8. Christian Moore 2B
9. Kyle Teel C

People will say what they want but that team takes 2/3 from the worst team in the MLB.

This can only really happen in baseball and a very select few basketball scenarios.

Dylan crews had an OPS of .596 in double A in 2023 yet you think he’s going to hit major league pitching that same year?

Tommy white had an ops of .602 last year in single A


Paul skenes couldn’t make it out of the first inning the first time he pitched in AA in 2023.




Yet you think that they will take 2/3

quote:

---

i mean any team can take 2 out of three from any in baseball. a AA team could take a random 2 out of 3 from the white sox or rockies this year

---

Exactly my point. Wasn't that the question asked?

But we are talking about a high A team. At best.

Betting on 2 complete games with guys who got roughed up their first experience in pro ball.

Not complete games. You can find 3-5 innings out of the rest of an "NCAA All Star team" with Burns, Dollander, Hagan Smith, Hartle, Walters, etc.

LSU would compete against the Zephyrs with midweek pitchers in the 2000s.

2023 was one of the most loaded college baseball seasons of the last decade. They'd be playing against one of the worst MLB teams in the last 50 years.
