Teddy Cahill (BA) just listed 5 college teams as the biggest "winners'' following the draft: Arkansas, Duke, Georgia, Oregon State and UCLA
Oregon State - It was a good week all around for the Beavers. Righthanders Will Frisch (No. 153) and Jake Pfennigs went undrafted, as did catcher Troy Claunch (No. 397). With that group back in the fold, Oregon State will have a strong veteran core for 2022. It also saw just one of its recruits drafted—Canadian prep righthander Dominic Hambley—and he went in the 18th round, making him no sure thing to sign. That means the Beavers bring in two top-200 players in New Mexico prep righthander Jacob Kmatz and Oregon prep shortstop Mason Guerra to headline a class that ranked No. 22 after Signing Day. That class will also include Australian prep shortstop Travis Bazzana, who was not subject to the draft.
4 Losers according to Cahill are: Arizonan State, Connecticut, OK State and Texas Tech

I worry just because I always worry. At the same time, my optimism took a big leap with JakeP, Frisch, and the new guys clearing the draft. Frisch, Pfennigs, and Hjerpe have the potential to be as just an outstanding trio of weekend starters.

We still have to worry about free agent signings. $20,000.00 is a lot of money for Juniors, unless you plan on being a first- or second-rounder next year.

Don't know if that was the same for Frisch.

Any player can still put their name into it. The deadline for immediate eligibility in 2022 has passed. I suspect we’ll see a few more names in it after fall ball or when the final roster cuts are made in January.

Gabe Matthew and Yovan just signed with Angels... could easily see Ober and Claunch just wanting to get the pro career shot started and do the same thing. Fun for us if they don't but would be surprised if they are still back

Not as many open slots to fill so kids who want to sign had better do so sooner than later, all those teams that got put out to pasture in the minors is just that many fewer chances.

I wouldn't be surprised to see ONE short-season non-AZL/FSL team back for each team after they test this out for a year or two.
It would still be a total reduction in # of minor league affiliated teams.
