how confident were you about your future at 17? I'm sure he thinks he's going to UCLA, will dominate then go number 1 over all in two years

And if he has an agent, I'm sure that agent is telling him the same thing. On the other hand, his agent is probably showing him Matt Purke scouting reports ...

If this guy is as talented as some are saying, he will be the kind of pitcher coming out of college that you'd draft number 1 and be willing to forfeit a draft pick to sign.

But high school pitchers are all talent and very little projectability. For every Kershaw and Bumgarnner there are like five Matt Hobgoods, Chris Meyers, Phillippe Aumont, Blake Beavan, Chris Withrow, ect
