Seems like just the right age for a college junior. On the other hand, at 19 Witt is a year older than most high school seniors.

Who put “Other” and who do they have in mind?

It's a public poll, you can check who voted for what (Cy Bundy).

Oh thanks. It didn’t look like you could view it on mobile.

This was a tough choice, and I'd be happy with Adley, Witt, or even Abrams, but I went with Witt.  There's a part of me deep down that is terrified of drafting a catcher 1-1.  Abrams has the most intrigue for me, though.

I pick Adley as I think that the way they will go. I’m worried Witt won’t hit enough

Heard Witt Jr. interview than ran on MLB Network today.  Favorite players are Pedroia and Jeter.  Hard pass!

Why is Witt overage? Did he fail a grade?

Holding kids back at a young age to help them in sports is pretty common practice in that part of the country.

Isn’t Abrams about the same age?

He’s about 4 months younger (6/14/00 vs. 10/03/00).

Is it really helping when we know he's basically a college freshman playing against high school kids?  I guess if he still goes in the top 2-3 picks...

Witt’s not that old. September kids are typically the oldest in the class so really they just held him back by three months. He’d be one of the younger freshmen if he was in college.

Bet they probably wouldn’t have if he was born a couple weeks earlier. Turning 19 before you graduate H.S. can be embarrassing for some people. Wouldn’t want it for my kid.

My daughter is a September kid and we are trying to decide whether to have her be one of the youngest or one of the oldest in her class.

It’s a tough one. If I had a boy I would lean towards the latter. But with a girl, the decision might have to be more academic based. Girls’ brains tend to mature faster as well, so there is that to consider.
