Looks like Drew, KJ and Jake will be gone as expected. They are through round 10 and no other current players or recruits drafted. Coming back next year with the potential of losing only four from a team that has gone 54-4 and adding a top 10 recruiting class almost does not seem fair.👍

Who else do you see as possibly going other than perhaps Max who should get picked up here soon because of his overall body of work at OSU?

Max has no more eligibility as a RS-Sr so is included in the 4 players to be lost. Of course it is impossible to only lose 4 and get the entire recruiting class along with the likely return of Nobach for his RS-Sr year. Space must be made on the 35-man roster, so a few of this year's walk-ons will likely not make the team. Also, a few juniors who are feeling pinched for playing time or scholarship money may choose to sign even if drafted in later rounds, so I do not expect all the draft-eligible later-round picks to be back.

Have any of our recruits been drafted so far? Is there any information on our incoming recruits? I've had a hard time finding new information.

Have any of our recruits been drafted so far? Is there any information on our incoming recruits? I've had a hard time finding new information. Kevin Abel (RHP) is our highest rated recruit (191 overall per MLB), but is so far undrafted and apparently rock solid to come to school as teams have backed off. Here's MLB's write up (reminds me a bit of Andrew Moore in the write up): The scouting industry will often admit that velocity holds too much import when it comes to evaluating pitchers. Every once in a while, a high school pitcher like Abel comes along, one with tremendous feel for pitching but without wow stuff right now, who tests that general philosophy. In terms of pure velocity, Abel is not turning heads right now. His fastball sits in the 87-91 mph range, but there is some projection there and there could be a bit more in the tank. He knows how to spin a breaking ball, a curve that's at least Major League average, and his changeup could be a plus pitch when all is said and done. He throws all three of his pitches for strikes, coming from a sound and repeatable delivery, and knows how to mix them very well. Complicating Abel's Draft stock even further are signability concerns, with many feeling his commitment to Oregon State will be hard to sign him away from But based on pitchability and potential, he belongs in the conversation of the top six rounds.
Watson from Beaverton was picked today, he's our only incoming kid drafted so far thru 19 rounds or so. |

He hasn't been drafted. He was ranked at number 191 but, as of the 25th Round, not selected. I suspect that he made known that he was attending OSU and not to waste a draft pick on him. |
