re: LSU commit Mac Marshall pitching on MLB network

Was at the game and unfortunately for LSU I don't think either Marshall or Greg Deichmann will ever play an inning at LSU. They both will get drafted to high. Just like I said last year that Justin Williams would never play an inning with LSU after watching him play in that Allstar game, Deichmann is not much further behind Williams as a hitter. Deichmann was in the HR derby this year "just as Williams was last year" and even though he didn't win it like Williams did, Deichmann swing is legit. Kids with that kind of power get drafted to high which after seeing him play he is going to get drafted to high.

Those kids that play in the Perfect Game Allstar game are the top high school kids in the nation. I didn't keep the stats from last year but I would be willing to bet at least 40 of the 50 kids from last years team signed MLB contracts. I can tell you this my son plays for the top travel ball program in San Diego "his coach is actually one of the coaches for the PG Allstar game" the program consistently puts players in that Allstar game every year. Last year they had 3 players in the game, all 3 ended up signing MLB contracts. One was drafted in the 1st round, one drafted in the 3rd round and the other the 4th round. That is how high these kids that play in that game get selected. This year the program put 4 kids in the game and all 4 will get drafted to high in MLB to every play a single inning with the colleges they are committed to.

It is great to hear LSU's name being called out as the college of choice for some of these players but for what it's worth if they play in the PG High School Allstar game, unfortunately the chances are too high they won't ever play an inning for LSU.
