Scouting the 2017 Draft: Big West Conference

I always like to comb through college baseball conference stats to see who might be a nice later round pickup in the draft as the vast majority of draft picks after round 3 are college players.  Here's who I've come up with from what might be my favorite college baseball conference, the Big West(no particular order or round prediction):

Long Beach State:

Darren McCaughen RHP- 6'2", 200 lbs.  8-2, 2.66, 108.2 IP, 16 BB, 94 K
David Banuelos C- .309/.382/.511, 7 HR.

Erich Uelmen RHP- 6'3", 210 lbs.  4-8, 2.93, 98.1 IP, 23 BB, 100 K.

Conner Seabold RHP, 6'3", 190 lbs.  11-4, 2.92, 117.1 IP, 19 BB, 116 K.

  1. As a Hawaii fan, I'll be happy to see Brendon Hornung get drafted. He was the ace of the staff, threw 87-90 mph with a very good split finger and he's a strike thrower. According to reports back in junior college, he survived a comeback liner that hit his head that almost cost him his baseball career and more importantly his life. He won't embarrass himself playing pro baseball. I remember Austin Bush hitting a 3 run homer to right field here, and he didn't even take a full swing!
