The Vagaries Of The Draft…MLB Amateur Draft Tonight At 5 PM (ESPN)

The major league draft occurs tonight on ESPN...with two principal Buckeyes expecting (hoping) to hear their name called between now and Monday.  The question is...how soon (how high), or have they done enough to be called, at all?

Canzone Gets Call From The Diamondbacks…Hitting .354 At Triple A

It surprised me that it took this long, but the Arizona Diamondbacks promoted former Buckeye Dominic Canzone to the big club on Friday - the best hitter I've personally seen to wear a Buckeye uniform.

Life As Number #1(s)….

Tyler Stephenson and Nick Senzel had more in common than just being teammates on the Dayton Dragons back in 2016.  In successive years they were the Reds' #1 draft picks, playing under the expectation that they're going to be stars...and soon. And here they are now. A Press Pros encore post...to enjoy!
