He wasn't drafted last year because teams weren't going to waste a late pick on him. Katz told them he was returning if he wasn't drafted by "X round", which would guarantee "X amount" of money. Had Katz been a senior, he would have gotten drafted, it just wouldn't have been real high, probably in the 20's.
Taking Mainieri's word, there's a quote somewhere that said teams were calling Mason around round 10 and Katz told them no.

You know how every team needs that player that hits for power and average and RBI's and all that stuff. he fills that role for LSU.
I could be talked into letting him field and DH'ing for him, though. His glove is his real value to the team.

Mainieri said that when former LSU All-American Mikie Mahtook moved on to pro ball, he passed his No. 8 jersey on to Katz—who figures to pass the torch to Alex Bregman when he departs.

Katz was also named Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week for the second time in 3 weeks!
Katz named National Player of the Week for a second time
Instead of a new thread just edit title to reflect National Player of the Week with SEC Player of the Week.

I think coming back is going to pay big for him now. Let's hope he continues this incredible tear he's been on.

I can't figure out who are the genius pitching coaches that keep instructing their guys to pitch to Katz.

The baseball must look like a grapefruit to Katz. 28 games is a long time to be as locked in as he is...but he is just seeing it and hitting it. Kid has such a simple yet powerful swing. Love seeing him have such a great Senior yr so far!
