It doesn't happen too often in college baseball but there are players who will turn down good money and risk their dream of playing pro ball to stay with their team one more year.

The Cajuns #1 pitcher came back for his Sr. year last year, turning down about $50,000 his Jr. year. He felt he owed the team that allowed him to walk on and become the #1. He had a tough last month of the season, probably worrying about the draft, but still got drafted in the 10th round.

Some players do put their stats as the #1 priority. Usually it is the parents doing it in Little League, Pony League, High School and College.

A good reason to keep the book for your team.
