"Despite being selected in the 18th round (528th overall) of the latest Major League Baseball draft by the San Diego Padres, Sanders said he has elected to stay in college and play baseball for the LSU Tigers next year."

"He was ranked the 10th best junior college prospect in the country by www.perfectgame.org and attended pre-draft workouts in front of the Padres, Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves."

"He will enter LSU as a junior, can hit 96 miles per hour with his fastball and also throws a curveball, a slider and a changeup.

Sanders will be able to re-enter the draft and maybe get selected in a higher round or get more money next year."

Wow. How'd he go in the 18th round with an arm like that? He must have control issues.

2016/17 Stats

50 walks in 43 innings is the issue. Hopefully he can get that worked out.

Definitely comes from a great bloodline! Scott was a hell of a pitcher

If Hess indeed moves to the starting rotation as we fully expect he could end up being the closer.

This is his issues but he did have 59 K's in 43 innings.

That's huge news. He will probably go into the season as our Fridya night guy immediately. Still sucks so much about Walker, though. We could have had a 1-2 punch just like that...
