Suffice it to say the 2019 MLB Draft has been going about as well as I had hoped for Vanderbilt. Though SS Anthony “Tony the Fox” Volpe was taken in the first round by the team he rooted for as a child (so, yeah... he’s signing with NYY), RHP Wesley Scott had informed MLB teams he would be honoring his commitment early in the process, RHP Jack “Lights Out” Leiter (who would have been taken in the first round if he was signable) also let MLB teams know he would be pitching at Hawkins Field (though they were still calling up to draft day trying to make him change his mind), and a few minutes ago, Vanderbilt just landed another biiiiiiiig fish in 6’7” LHP/1B Spencer Jones:
Though not the best bon mot, we’ll excuse it as Spencer Jones coming to campus means we have likely landed yet another #1 incoming freshman class.
