5'11" 195lbs DOB: 8/27/97

Mid-State Tennessee PLAYER OF THE YEAR

OF Wil Dalton

Why chosen: Dalton, the District 11-AAA MVP, hit .500 (.818 slugging) with 29 extra-base hits ? including three home runs, seven triples and 19 doubles ? 44 RBIs, 57 runs and 34 stolen bases to help lead the Class AAA semifinalist Spartans (34-7) to the best season in school history.

Quote: ?It was definitely a good year. I accomplished a lot and we accomplished a lot as a team, but yeah, there was a bitter ending. (Not winning state) was definitely a disappointment. ? I do have a few (MLB) teams that I?ve been in contact with, but really I won?t know until draft day. I?ll say we?ll cross that bridge when it gets here.?

College plans: Signed with San Jacinto College in Pasadena, Texas.

Family: Dad Ian, mom Mary, sisters Stephanie (33), Julianne (29) and Alyssa (20).

Athletic background: I have only played baseball my whole life.

Favorite sport other than baseball: Either football or golf.

Best high school sports moment: Helping Summit baseball win our first (district and region) championships.

Favorite athlete: Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals.

Favorite food: Pasta.

Summer plans: I plan to train and get ready for either college ball (at San Jacinto) or professional baseball if I get drafted in June.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I see myself having a successful career in the major leagues.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
