I guess the question is will he go?
My guess (hope) is he will stay around another year and get a higher pick.. The problem with the 20th round is the signing bonus is not good, if anything at all.
Surprised a few others did not get called in the draft. But the draft is strange. Some kids that got drafted early are no way proven picks.
Even the best pitcher in the ASUN, Van Treeck was a 9th round..

Heard the signing bonus was 125k not sure how accurate that is though. He has signed per Battery Power.
