Draft Tuesday

·         Washington junior outfielder, Michael Camporeale had a career night on Monday in the Huskies 18-6 rout of Cal State Northridge. His 7-RBI night included a grand slam home run, 2-runs scored, and two additional singles in five at-bats.

·         Looks like a third catcher is being to get some exposure in the first round mock drafts. Tom Murphy, the 6-2, 195 University of Buffalo junior has big time power. His defensive skills are limited. Especially his arm accuracy. Through three ganes vs. Kentucky, Murphy is hitting .429/.429/.500.

·         How would you like to be a high school baseball player and you’re the leadoff hitter for your team located in California. You step into the box, tap your bat on the bag, dig in and the opposing pitcher throws the first pitch down the pipe for a strike. At 100 miles per hour.  High school.  WTF?  Well, that’s what Lucas Giolito did Tuesday night to cement the early favorite as the number one pick in the upcoming June draft.  One hundred miles per hour on the first pitch in a high school game. Really?
