The Owls will look to replace five players they lost in last year’s MLB Draft.
Florida Atlantic baseball coach John McCormack sat back and smiled last June, watching as five of his players received the call that would be the start of their professional baseball careers.
Now, eight months later, those same phone calls have created uncertainty heading into the 2016 season. McCormack must replace outfielders Brendon Sanger — the reigning Conference USA Player of the Year — and Roman Collins, as well as three of his best pitchers from a season ago: Kyle Miller, Drew Jackson and Seth McGarry.
