Really nice pickup for Texas. Riojas was the closer for UTSA this past season and carried a heavy load, tossing 69.1 innings with 7 saves, a 3.25 ERA and 75 strikeouts. #HookEm https://t.co/1MUZr3Rowt

 

CenTex kid - from Wimberly. Pretty good stats to work with. WHIP, SO9, and SO/W all look promising.Screenshot2024-07-11at14_26_13.thumb.png.f7236b1031fe9444eb63370ed5d5d59c.png

Obviously a huge draft risk, but this dude is elite.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he makes it on campus. If I'm betting, I'm betting no.

No I don’t believe so. He committed before the tweet was sent by Blake.

If Thomas comes back, I’d prefer him play in the outfield with Belyeu or Gaspo at first. But I highly doubt Thomas is coming back so whatever

He’s ranked as the 140 prospect so he will be on campus unless they overspend his draft spot.

Forgive my ignorance of the details of college baseball, but would a player who is a very likely pro prospect may be willing to defer for a few years due to NIL? 

I just think maybe I would be tempted to go ahead and get some of the college experience while pulling in nice money rather than going straight to the harsh world of pro-baseball. Austin and UT (or many other colleges) sound better than AA ball for your first few years out of high school.

Am I crazy?

How is the player of the year by two prominent companies ranked #140? I’m not doubting you I just haz confused on how that makes sense

He's player of the year in North Dakota, not nationwide.

Last year a 5th round pick made ~$455K, so it will be more this year.  And he may go a lot earlier, or a team may go underslot near the top of the first round and save money for later picks.  I don't think we can assume anything.

Not crazy at all, I been thinking on it.

Not only does NIL help to make the college route sweeter, but with most SEC games being televised, a player gets much more exposure to fans than being on some AA or even AAA team. Exposure and name recognition equals money.

What about all those star players A&M brought in from the portal? They got 6 or 7 players who were on a team that the CWS finals!

Aggies saying that they're kicking our ass in the portal!

I think with NIL and also the analytics are moving MLB teams more towards drafting college seasoned talent we will see more and more bigtime HS prospects go to college. Especially if some network decides to throw money at the SEC for baseball.

Pitchers though will probably always take the money

Source: @TexasBaseball All-American shortstop Jalin Flores is returning to the #Horns for another season. Flores was one of the top available college players in the #MLBDraft. He's now returning to Austin. Obivously, massive news for the Longhorns.

Texas A&M baseball has added to their 2024 signing class as RHP Gavin Lyons has committed to the Aggies while on campus for a visit. Huge upside here that could impact next year’s pitching staff because of his unique delivery and arm talent.He had previously signed with Texas.

So is this basically Schloss bringing in his recruit who he feels better about from A&M and then Lyons flipping to Aggie because of it? Or, vice versa?

Fantastic news on Flores. NIL put to very good use.

Well, he hasn't been drafted yet so... It didn't cost a crazy high number to make it worthwhile for him.

He announced early in the 2nd day, with the way slotting works, no team is losing that amount to take a kid returning to school.

We're into the 8th round and he was projected 4th. Teams know he is coming back. Slot value has decreased over 400k from where he projected to now. He can still be drafted two more times - one with leverage. He's coming back.

Exactly.

I'm told Fargo's Drew Rerick has pulled out of the MLB Draft. Rerick had a signing number he wasn't going to go below and the NIL number at Texas is above what some MLB teams signing pool has left.So Rerick is heading to Texas next season.
