Always wanted to hit. Connected only a few times. Worth it.

Charlie Condon also won the Bragan National Collegiate Slugger Award. What an outstanding player.

Go Dawgs!

From what I have read...d1 NCAA men’s baseball is about equal to AA minor league ball at this time...maybe AA+...unless a player is a blue chipper out of high school and is a sure thing to get to MLB...considering the very low pay one gets in minor league a free 4 year ride at a college would be a better proposition assuming one gets a education that can be used after baseball. Then, if drafted the college player still has to climb the tough ziggurat to MLB. Minor league players play more often college players so have more experience..

Prospects are suspects, but some come as advertised. Last year’s top pick, Paul Skenes, is killing it in the major leagues less than a year later.
