The San Diego Padres took Maurice Hampton in the 23rd round of the most recent MLB Draft. Hampton was a top 50 draft prospect on any board you can find, but his commitment to LSU was strong enough to ward off potential suitors.
It might seem like a wasted pick for the Padres, but it looks like it might be perfectly planned to give a real shot at Hampton signing with the team.
Don’t get it twisted, it is safe to assume Hampton is going to LSU to play both football and baseball.
