Reply to "Ivy League gets 13 drafted"

Goosegg's son and my son came into the League at the same time and we've been following this for a while. I don't recall this many Ivy players getting drafted....not even close. So, some of the credit goes to the Ivy coaches who are seeing these guys in high school and projecting their draft talent 5-6 years down the road. Possibly the coaching and player talent is at a level it has never been before or possibly it is a statistical anomaly. The other explanation is Ivy coaches are putting more emphasis on young men (with great academics) who want to be MLB drafted. From the players perspective, it is great to have options. I believe a couple of the draft picks are juniors which makes their decision a little more complicated.

JMO.

What a great year for Ivy baseball!
