2015 MLB Draft

[Jacked4Days]

Zach Coppola was drafted in the 13th round today by the Philadelphia Phillies. Hopefully he decides to return for his senior year, but we may have seen the last of Coppola patrolling center field for the Jacks.

Trust me, he won't be back. I'm happy for Zach, but really would have liked to watch him play another year. He will be very hard to replace, as he was an all-around good player and speed that doesn't come with most BB recruits. Look forward to watching his progress in the future. Go COPE!

Adam Bray is taken in the 33rd round by the Dodgers. It's the first time SDSU has had two players taken in the same draft since 1985.

In general (yes there are a ton of exceptions), jr.'s sign especially if they are drafted in top 20 rounds. The only exception would be if they don't really want to sign him (it happens), or if medical flags are found and they won't offer a contract (similar to what happened to Treinen).

I don't think these baseball guys give a rip about this young man's education. Take it now is the only option.

Re: 2015 MLB Draft

Likely he will make far more money by signing now. He can work it into his contract so that they pay for his education when he is done with baseball. The thing is, he will likely have a much larger signing bonus by signing as a junior because they know he has other options. If you sign as a senior you have no other option and that's how you get paid.

You can always go to college. You get very few opportunities to make The Show. No regrets!

I never been close to someone who was drafted, so this is insightful information. It just seems to me that MLB clubs can be picky and often they don't pick right, but in this case they have. Good luck Zach.
