Not everyone can say they turned down a 1st rounder for their travel team. I kind of did that. The player's team had broken up due to a "parent revolt" as I understand it. His dad called me to see if we had a spot on our team. I told him we'd love to have the kid but that we weren't going to play enough of our tournaments at as high a level as the kid belonged at.

He and CASon played on the same team in their first showcase. CASon was rated higher but we knew he was the real thing.

Good kid as well as a good baseball player. Congrats Christian.

Thanks for everything this site has done for so many of us through the years to help us, help our sons reach their goals.

My son Justin, was drafted tonight by the Tampa Bay Rays, 31st pick in the 1st round. A dream come true for all of us...

Thanks,
Randy O'Conner

Huge congrats!

I saw some of the highlight clips of your son on MLB network last night and his athleticism and batting skills (including power) jumped off the screen. He can play any position on the field which will be an asset for him and speed his journey to the big leagues.
