I just saw Baseball America's list of their top 25 college and high school draft prospects for next season, and at least four of the guys have ties to Virginia. Obviously these lists are very fluid, but it looks like it may be a decent year for the state, at least from the perspective of college players. The four with definite ties to Virginia:
3. Deck McGuire, RHP, Georgia Tech- Deep Run HS (2007 State POY I believe)
18. Jesse Hahn, RHP, Virginia Tech- Conn. native, showed a big arm on the Cape, although he hasn't exactly dominated at VT
22. Jarrett Parker, OF, UVA- Colonial Forge HS, all ACC
23. Justin Grimm, RHP, Georgia- Virginia HS in Bristol, 13th round pick out of high school
I also distinctly remember something about #19 Brett Eibner, OF/RHP from Arkansas, having Virginia ties, but I don't remember the exact connection.
