D1 Baseball also thinks Cooper Hjerpe will be the first LHP selected in the draft. They think he will be on a fast track to the "Bigs". His minor league career will be brief.
90-93 mph fastball with good life. A baffling change up with good run (very effective vs Auburn in the SR.) and and the reason, he'll go early . . . . a filthy, darting slider in the 2600 rpm spin rate range.
The ability to locate everything (command), and the quality of the slider are the reason our boy is top dog among the lefties in this draft.

There are some baseball folks that thought Melton-Meckler-Boyd was the match of any outfield in college ball last season.
Name a better one.

Oh Jeff, you are talking about my childhood! Even got to see the Yankees play the Orioles in Baltimore in 1962. A major thrill for a 10 year old from Newberg. |

A major thrill for a 10 year old from Newberg. I still have angst when I think of my Giants losing to the Yanks in 1962 in seven games.  |

Maris and Mantle were Yankee outfielders, they played together. Mays was a Giant. So not the same outfield for 3M😀 |
