I would think there would have to be a lot of signability issues for a #187 prospect to go in the first round. Wasn't he at CS Northridge?
FYI, the Uptons are now the highest drafted family members in the history of baseball.
Ya, he was at Northridge, had to undergo Tommy Johns Surgery and is recovering at Golden West College. He got calls from about a 1/2 dozen GM's this week alone, all telling him he should expect to go high, since his Fastball is consistantly in the mid 90's and he's got a good off speed to back it up.
He was going to go in the draft last year but asked to be left alone to finish his ride a Northridge. Things change, and with an elbow already on the mend he's thinking he wants a degree first to fall back on...good kid actually.
