augolf1716 21,208 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I don't stay on top of baseball recruiting but it seems like a very good class as long as they don't go pro. I have heard that not as many high school players are getting drafted as they did several years ago. Seems like pro teams are letting the colleges have them and then after 3 years of development they are drafting with more knowledge of the player. AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn baseball and head coach Butch Thompson have officially signed 17 newcomers to join the program next fall. The class, which includes 11 pitchers and six position players, has been rated as high as the No. 4 early signing class for 2024 by Perfect Game. The No. 4 ranking matched the program's previous highest-ranked class from 2017. Highlighted by a pair of in-state pitchers and top-50 overall recruits in Connor Gatwood (No. 41) and Christian Chatterton (No. 43), Auburn's class includes 11 players ranked in the top 250 among 2024 signees, according to Perfect Game. Eight signees are from Alabama, three are from Florida, three are from Georgia, and one apiece is from California, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Fun facts to know and tell: Jack Sanderson is Wimp Sanderson’s grandson (or great-grandson). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
