And the designation of D.O. means Drop Out. Just like in college and high school (if they were a high school pick it would usually designate HS Fr, HS So, HS Jr, HS Sr) the classes are: Fr=Freshman, SO=Sophmore, Jr=Junior, Sr= Senior, DO= Drop out, NS= No School, J1= Junior College 1st yr, J2=Junior College 2nd yr, J3= Junior College 3rd yr, 5S= 5th year SR College.

I had the chance to coach this young man on a team prior to the draft. He threw gas and hit his spots. He will find his way up to the big leagues eventually. His slider was one of the best I had seen and his fastball was above average. His change and curve were above average as well. I think if he didn’t skip a year of college to work out and get ready for the draft, he would have gotten drafted much earlier in the draft, not going to Manhattanville for one more season definitely hurt him.

His stuff is explosive. They just have to give him a chance and let him come to his own. He should have been drafted in the first 10 rounds of the draft.

Albert Fagan did sign and is expected to do very well. Last season he ended with an ERA of 2.88. According to Milb.com he “Made 10 appearances (four starts) with the GCL Pirates, going 3-2 with one save and a 2.88 ERA in 25 innings. … Five of the eight earned runs he surrendered on the season came his first start, a 2 1/3-inning outing against the GCL Red Sox on July 1. … He yielded just two earned runs in his final 19 2/3 innings. … Held left-handed batters to a .086 average (3-for-35).” His first start was def not that good but he WAS injured after the first out and continued playing with a twisted ankle. We hope to see him do very well. His fastball has been clocked at 95 and he throws a slider with “major league movement”
