Chris Sale is a junior LHP for Florida Gulf Coast who is ranked as the #5 college draft prospect by BA. Sale was the Friday starter for FGC, but only pitched 2 innings even though they were perfect with 4 K's. That had some people scratching their heads until it came out that they were using the start just as a tune up for tonight's game against #10 ranked Miami. Reports from Friday had Sale throwing mid-90's cheese with minimal visible effort. The opposing batters described his stuff as unhittable. Tonight should be a big test. I imagine the stands will be packed with scouts. If he dominates Miami tonight, it would not surprise me to see him jump clear to the top of a lot of draft boards.
Chris Sale vs Miami. The first Marquee Matchup of the college season!
Addendum: Sale didn't get the start after all. Hmm......

What position do you think the giants will take in the draft?
ReplyDeleteEither pitcher or OF. I think pitcher is more likely. The Giants historically like to take pitching in the first round, and they are actually thinning in top tier pitching talent than in position talent right now.
