Baseball Recruiting Class Ranked #6 In Nation

UCLA has reeled up yet another top 10 recruiting class, checking in at #6 this year. What makes the class so impressive is how highly it's ranked despite bringing in only 8 players while every other program in the top 18 had at least 12 signees. 3 of the top 6 ranked classes come from the Pac 10 and 7 of the top 34.

Yes

Gerrit Cole is one of the 8 recruits who have reported to campus this week.

Question, Rye

Can Cole go into the draft after next season? Assuming a decent season, would his signing bonus money be substantially changed from where it was this year with the Evil Empire (sorry, Nestor.) In other words, does he look like a baseball edition of a one-and-done?

Nope

In baseball a player can sign a contract after high school, but if he goes to college he has to stay for 3 years. Cole won’t be eligible for the draft until 2011.

Who went pro?

Did any UCLA-commits gets drafted and opt for the pros? How great could this class have been if they chose to come to school?

Yes, 3 commits signed with pro clubs

Cutter Dykstra was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round (54 overall).

Tyler Chatwood was drafted in the second round (74 overall) by the Anaheim Angels.

Clark Murphy was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the fifth round (153 overall).
