Shotgun Spratling – May 23, 2023

PHILADELPHIA — The sensation of deja vu washed over many of the Penn veterans. A Quaker batted ball firing down the left field line during a battle for the Ivy League championship, its destiny to be determined by the left or right arm of the third base umpire.

Senior first baseman Ben Miller tracked the ball from the on-deck circle last year and like many Quakers was in disbelief when Andrew Hernandez’ potential game-tying three-run homer against Columbia was ruled to be foul. This year, Miller had the closest view of any Penn player. He was jogging between second and[…]

Fall Report
Eric Sorenson – November 29, 2023

STANFORD, Calif. — In last year’s Fall Report on the Cardinal I said, “It could be argued that no program in the country has had a better two-year run than the Stanford Cardinal.”

It’s true. Though they hasn’t achieved wild success in Omaha, the Cardinal have had an epic three-year run with three straight trips to the College World Series. That is something that is rarely done in our beloved sport, simply[…]

Prospects
PBR Staff – November 29, 2023

The MLB Draft is all about leverage, and there might not be a demographic that holds more leverage than draft-eligible sophomores.

“Old for the class” has become a notorious label when talking about prep players’ draft stock, and ultimately leads to the elder statesmen being undervalued and pushed to campus. Fast forward two years, and those same players flip the script becoming some of the most sought-after prospects in the class with both draft and college eligibility remaining.

In most years it is a small, exclusive group of players who fit this description. 2023 saw seven-figure bonuses dished out to[…]
