The kid, Matt Morgan lives 6 miles from me ( Clanton is me ) in Thorsby / Chilton county.
He said in the local Clanton Advertiser that he is off to Toronto, I wish him well.
A good defensive catcher trancends better than most positions, so I think the kid has a good shot.

Yea certainly can't blame any high schooler drafted that early to turn professional. But a catching prospect getting in the system early is especially valued by big league teams. Wish him all the best. Brian McCann had signed with Alabama too before being drafted, maybe Morgan will have a similar career 
Still no Wade Wass by the way as they approach the 30th round. I thought it was impossible, but there's starting to be a decent chance he'll be back. Would be a nice boost after losing Moore.

Austen Smith drafted by the Marlins in the 33rd round, pick #977. Later than I would've thought, but he's got his shot now. Wish him well, he had a great career here.

35th round and sell no Wass. That's stunning, which translates to another stunning idea that at this point in the draft he'll likely be back at Alabama next year.

Wass not even drafted. Sucks for him, good for next year's team though. Getting Wass back, when I was certain he wouldn't be, is huge after Moore left. Still, next season and whether or not we take the next step likely depends on Kamplain.

Keith Holcome drafted by Arizona.

Since Wass wasn't drafted, could it be possible the he told everyone ( scouts ) that he was coming back ?

It's possible that his stock could've been lowered if he had done that, but there's a lot more to it. Teams draft players regardless of their signability. I mean the Padres drafted Johnny Manziel pretty much for the hell of it in the 29th round. Regardless though I can't imagine Wass, a 4th year junior catcher, would've told teams anything along the lines that he was deadset on going back to school. Just really odd he didn't get picked. I hate it for him and I hope next year is different (it will be), but I'm damn glad he'll be back at Alabama next year.

I saw he went. Honestly I didn't know he played baseball too. From the sound of it he's definitely coming to Alabama, but only for football. I hear he'd need a lot of work to develop into an SEC baseball player. Our football staff isn't a huge fan of that idea anyway.

Pretty good stat line....must be able to move pretty well.
Holcombe hit .467 with 55 runs and stole a school-record 31 bases in 52 games for the Patriots in 2014. He also went 8-2 with a 3.68 ERA as a pitcher while helping his team to the Class 6A semifinals.

Next year is interesting. We must move to small ball if we are going to win in the met & if we focus on throwing strikes and playing defense we could be a really strong team.

Ben Moore signed with the Red Sox. Signing bonus was a little over $150,000.

Turnbull officially signed as well now. $900k with the Tigers, not a bad morning for him.

Here is an article on where our players are playing in Summer Leagues. LINK. Wass, White, Overstreet, and Salem are all on the same team

With the 25 million invested in our facility, let's invest in a new staff too. I want Tim Corbin at Vanderbilt. Watching him coach tonight in Omaha is a privilege.

Kamp has or will sign. So our rotation will be first year starters. I do believe it can still be a pretty good group. At this point I think you have Fri- Bramblett Sat- Eicholtz Sun- Guilbeau/Ocypok(sp?)
with Shaw & Castillo setting up Burrows. Hopefully some other young guys step up. Gaspard has done a good job of throwing young guys on the mound early in their first year.
