There are scouts who believe Heimlich would be the quickest call up to the majors of all college pitchers. Winning matters in a business. But no one player is bigger than the game.
There’s another consideration to drafting him. Let’s say a team does select him. Does he have the mental and emotional stability to handle the verbal abuse that will be dished out by the fans and the media? He may not be safe on the streets.
If drafted low enough there will be little invested financially. From a baseball only perspective it will be little to lose and a lot to gain.
