Congrats to Clemson pitchers Bostic, Schmidt and Krall.
May all of your dreams come true!
What a great class move by the Cubs.
Out of the catchers that got drafted , why wasn't the top defensive catcher picked in Cooper Johnson ? I know MLB team ms were scouting him a lot here in HS ball
Two more Tigers, Wes Wilson and Eli White.

More than likely he was asking more than any team was willing to pay.
We had seven Driveline guys drafted. Very fortunate. Had our second "no school" / gap year guy drafted out of the facility, which I'm most proud of - Herbie Good to the Rangers in the 37th round. Christian Meister to the Cleveland Indians in the 29th round last year.

Very proud to say my son was selected by the Houston Astros in the 18th round!
He also had a teammate selected in the 22nd round by the Twins
and a former high school teammate selected by the Cards also in the 22nd round
all 3 are D2 players from the PSAC conference , I think the PSAC had 9 players selected today.
Congratulations and Best of luck to all of the players selected!
Its a great day to be a baseball Dad!!!!

MMM, that is great news. What a thrill it must be!
Congrats to your son + the family MMM1531, great news to hear!
Another big round of HSBBW 
Very happy for all the kids and families - congratulations!
Congrats to your son and your family. So good to see when hard work pays off.
Thanks everyone, it's been a really fun couple of days!
the support and congratulations my son and his buddies have received have been off the charts.
These are 3 great young men who have busted there butts to make it. It's awesome to see them get a chance at the next level...
all 3 have also received their college degrees, I have been kidding my son who just graduated last week that's it's about time he got a job..
Congratulations to those drafted.
Will Gilbert NC State LHP 8th Rd. His dad has been on HSBBW for many years. Will's story is great, he had to earn everything. Here is a report we did on him back in 2011. Maybe it will give others some hope.
Will Gilbert is a 2012 LHP/OF with a 5-10 145 lb. frame from Morrisville, NC who attends Green Hope HS. Smaller build. Well paced on line delivery, lets his arm work, high 3/4's arm slot, compact quick arm, ball comes out clean and easy, repeats mechanics well. Mid 80's fastball, topped out at 86 mph, will occasionally muscle up and try to overthrow, will come into right handed hitters aggressively. Good feel for change up, will cut change up at times, curveball still needs work and consistency. Loose, very quick arm and some pitchability. Projects in a big way, as he gets bigger he should become an easy 90 mph lefty in college. Very good student.

They did it right. If it doesnt work out, they have a degree to fall back on.
A very late congrats to Joe! Will he be playing in Tacoma? If so, we'll be able to watch him play soon.
I always thought MLB draft is very far away, until one of my son's teammate in High School (a LHP) got drafted last Saturday. He has batted against the LHP in practices, so he's like, 'wow, I batted against a major leaguer and got a single!' 
Congrats to all the drafted players. Enjoy the little things
Has anyone run across a breakdown of draftees by category of school (HS, DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, JuCo)? I've searched, but can't find anything.

Thanks, I couldn't find the Division breakdown from Draft Tracker, but I did find this:
No school: 2
High school: 316
Junior college: 132
College: 766
Some other interesting breakdowns here:
for a great breakdown of the D2 picks check out Kyle Schwerin's " Road to Cary Blog"
Kyle does an outstanding job every year following and writing about D2 baseball, I never met the man but I would sure buy him a couple of cold beers for his efforts! Thanks Kyle , the D2 baseball world loves your stuff.
