The Saturday starters of college baseball, bookended by the Friday aces and the Sunday closers, can sometimes be underappreciated.
But as Dalton Carroll soldiered through four years with 52 starts, he almost always gave the Utes a chance to win, coach Bill Kinneberg said. Now, he’ll get an opportunity of his own: to play professional baseball in the Atlanta Braves system.
"This has always been my dream," Carroll said. "Now that’s it’s actually here and a possibility. I’m gonna keep going until my time comes. I know there’s only so long you can do this."
Carroll was the only draft pick this year from the Utes, going in the 21st round to the Atlanta Braves.
