I\u2019ll be honest. College baseball is decidedly not my thing. The very best college prospects sometimes end up in Double-A, while the vast majority will be sent to A ball or perhaps the complex. If I wanted that I could, you know, go see actual minor leaguers in person. I know \u201cgotta support the school\u201d and all, but I paid tuition to two of them so we\u2019re even. And I find that as a working parent and a guy who watches the Braves intently, I don\u2019t have the bandwidth.<\/p>\n
But thankfully, I don\u2019t represent everybody. And some of you really like college baseball. Some of you have played it and others are parents of current players. And I\u2019ve noticed that this place clears out when there\u2019s no Braves game and the NCAA baseball tournament.<\/p>\n

This year, the Braves have the eighth highest draft pool. They could end up drafting some of the better prospects. So I\u2019m gonna attempt to follow the college baseball postseason this year. You might get a baseball tournament roundup, or at least an aggregated one from other coverage pretty soon.<\/p>\n
So are you going to watch the college baseball tournaments? Are there any players that you\u2019re following? Can you all help me find what to watch for? I know UCLA is good, and there are 8 SEC teams in the top 25. Also, can players jump up the board drastically with a good postseason? I know college football players do all the time. Regardless, you\u2019re going to hear more about it in the coming weeks. The minor league team is already on the hunt, and I\u2019ll be chipping in where I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019ll be honest.
