That?s what they are saying in the CWS broadcast. I?m sure you guys saw it too. Hope he pitches like it in Omaha.

Yeah. He'll be gone by end of the 1st or early in the Supplemental round
His stuff plays in the majors in a solid way. Plus FB and a plus slider. If he can more effectively use his changeup or develop a 2 seamer, his potential is a #1 or #2 on a team in 4-5 years.
Notre Dame did a nice job of laying off his slider and sitting fastball. That will be the Texas plan I'm sure. Hopefully, Bednar can throw his slider for strikes.
Notre Dame was the most disciplined hitting team I saw us play all year. I will be surprised if Texas is anywhere close to that.Quote:

As he shouldQuote:

There any additional questions about Bednar's draftability this morning?
Update: He was not like that.Quote:
