Clay Schrader:

4-30 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/4/30/1451211/casing-the-states-texas-part-four#storyjump - RHP Schrader has been a fast riser on boards this spring, and like Ruffin, he has really seen his stock rise since a move to the bullpen this year. Schrader started his career at UT San Antonio, where he worked mainly as a starter with mostly positive results. However, his stuff was fringy, and most scouts thought he'd be an organizational arm when eligible for the 2011 draft. Instead, Schrader transferred out of UTSA to San Jac last fall, and he's moved into the bullpen as the closer for the top junior college team in the country. Since that move, his stuff and draft stock have risen quickly, and he's a darkhorse for a first day selection. He now consistently works in the 92-94 mph range with a plus slider and average curveball, and he could even stand to drop the curve in favor of a plus two-pitch mix in the late innings. What's working against Schrader is a smaller body that leaks projectability, and he struggles to get downhill plane on his fastball as a result of his smaller stature. He's not small enough that he would be classified as a diminutive righty, but it is what holds him back in terms of pro prospects. Schrader has signed with Oklahoma, and that might be a small factor in his signability, but most scouts expect he'll be one of the earliest junior college relievers taken in June. Projected Draft Range: 3rd-7th Round

Guys, just want to make something clear here.. EVERY prospect is going to say they want to attend college. It's the only chip they have to negotiate for more money from the team. I can gurantee you, that most of these kids if you ask them they ALL want to play pro-baseball. They are just trying to make sure that the money is right before they sign.

And it's imparative that the kids who really want to play pro-baseball that they pick college program that is very good at baseball. This also plays into bargaining too. Cause it sure did when I went through the process.

San Jacinto is ranked as the #1 JuCo in the country according to Perfect Game USA. I know negativity has been your think lately, but do some research before you post.

Yep, just lost in the finals of the JUCO WS.

The combined enrollment of that "JCO nobody ever heard of" is about 25,000-plus.
