We posted after the MLB draft how many 2011 UK commits were drafted and could go pro instead of attending college. MLB teams have until August 15th to sign prospects, so we’ll know for sure who’s staying and who’s going after that.
In the meantime, [URL=”http://www.kyforward.com/our-sports/2011/08/10/coaches-say-lexington-baseball-draftees-will-attend-college-instead-of-signing-pro-deals/”]KyForward.com is reporting[/URL] that two of the 2011 commits will indeed be attending college. RHP [URL=”http://www.wildcatrecruits.com/playerProfile.php?Contact_ID=644&Recruit=Taylor-Martin”]Taylor Martin[/URL] (Lexington Catholic) and LHP [URL=”http://www.wildcatrecruits.com/playerProfile.php?Contact_ID=645&Recruit=Chandler-Shepherd”]Chandler Shepherd[/URL] (Lawrence County) will both be suiting up for the Bat Cats next spring.
We’ll have a full report after the 15th.
