I don’t know if I’m going to continue doing this for every prospect the Cardinals got, but I learned certain information about Thomas Saggese (Soo-Jay-see) that I think most fans would love to know. And I learned it after I had already posted about the trade returns of Jordan Montgomery/Chris Stratton and Jordan Hicks. And I was bummed that I couldn’t share that information in the previous post, until I realized I could just write a whole new post.
Saggese went to Carlsbad High School, located in Carlsbad, California, and in his junior season, he batted .422 with 10 homers to win MVP of Diego Avocado West League, which Baseball America tells me is one of the top high school leagues in the country.
