    I glanced and didnt see a mention. How do we feel about Henry Ford from Virginia? I know Tennessee thinks they have him locked.

    He?s repped by Boras Corps, so his number is going to be very high. He?s a projected third round pick who probably has a first round number.

    If he is drafted in the Top 3 rounds he is gone. They will get the money right

    Yeah. That?s because if he is drafted, the team that takes him has already discussed the numbers with him and knows he will sign.

    If a team calls and offers $900,000 but he wants $2.5 million, then he?s not going to be drafted.

    yep- research how many Top3 rounds players didnt sign the last 5 years. It's an incredibly low number

    Seems MSU having Kevin McMullan could be a huge help. Continue to develop with the coaching that has been successful for you.

    Ford?s power numbers took a bit of a dive this year. If he comes to Mississippi State and hits 20 HRs in 2026, then he?s a first round lock. The difference in slot bonuses for the late first to the third round is $3.3 million vs $1 million.

    I could see him benefiting from transferring to MSU and playing next year. He will still have draft leverage if he transfers in.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Ford goes to tennessee, as he is from Chatanooga, I believe. And if his stats were down, he might be looking for a different perspective as far as a hitting coach. I'm just looking at any possible angle here.

    Is he expected to visit us? Or has he already?

    Ford would be awesome but I think we need Becker more than Ford.

    SS is a much more pressing need at this time. Ford is one of those guys that you obviously don't turn down, but the odds of him being on the roster Opening Day are just not great. A team will find the money to draft him and sign him.

    Last 5 MLB drafts 3 players in the 3rd round did not sign:

    2022- Nolan McLean 1st pick of 3rd round- drafted in 3rd round the next season even lower with the 91st pick
    2022- Brandon Sproat drafted mid- 3rd...went back to Fla had a worse season but ended up in the lower 2nd round in 2023
    2024- Ryan Prager drafted 7th in the 3rd round- went back to A&M- now is not listed among the Top 200 prospects on MLB.com

    3rd rounders are going to sign

    He can play multiple positions and has two years of eligibility left. Good pick up!
