Yep, guarantee you made some major money in the regionals and CWS. I’d guess he was not a top 75 pick to start the year.
Lol, last week I watched deGrom’s start and his FB stayed 99-102 throughout his 6 innings. And his change up stayed 92-93 That’s the right velocity spread but DAMMITMAN……..
Three UF commits gone in 1st round. Very sorry for Jud passed over but not surprised after the up-and-down year he had at the plate. I was skeptical of mock drafts that still had him going in 1st round.
Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers Many are wondering about @GatorsBB OF Jud Fabian not getting drafted tonight. Sources tell me he wants a lot of money and is very content going back to Florida for another season. We will see if that viewpoint holds. #MLBDraft
He still has another year of leverage AND he is still “young” as he entered college a year early. So mathematically it makes sense to negotiate strongly. Plus you would have to think he has the ability to play better than 2021 as well. But it is still surprising he possibly could come back.
I would love to see Jud back at UF for another year to play with his brother and work on his approach at the plate.
If he signs, it will be for over slot bonus. That is why some teams like the Royals, Orioles and Pirates drafted the players they did. They Will more than likely sign for below slot money which frees up more dollars for others.
Interesting that the 2 Clemson football QB signees (Will Taylor & Bubba Chandler) were not selected in the first 39 picks. I believe both were rated in the top 30. I guess they want to play football, first.
Dang, Ryan Bliss went from late rounder to second SEC position player taken,,,almost first. Guess hes not coming back .lol
Just a friendly reminder that it's best to always assume that single digit round picks are gone. Putting out information that you're ok coming back to school is negotiating leverage.
Yeah I knew Bliss was gone before season started. Just funny how underrated he was. Unbiasedly, his offensive stats were on par or better than anyone in SEC. Biasedly , it wasn't close as best overall hitter/player this year Now I get to see how high Tyler Miller will go, who wasnt on draft radar, and still doesnt have a true position.
Not sure I feel like Jud was passed over. I had him late 2nd /early 3 rd. Wonder if he wants 1st round money. He is not ready for day to day professional arms . However if I recall he did have a night vs Leiter. But passed over ??? Naw
