As much as I admire Heller's work and program, if you don't believe the best college baseball programs are in the South, you are delusional.
How is Connor doing in Baseball?

- Start date
OR BTW do you work for a Democrat Senator or congressman? Where truth and morality are lost.Actually, if you don't mind, here are some facts related to your insane assertion:
About one in ten (10%) of NCAA baseball players are drafted by a Major League Baseball team. Approximately one in 200, about one-half of one percent of high school baseball players, will eventually be drafted by an MLB team.
And only about 5 of every 100 players (5%) who sign professional contracts ever make it to the major leagues for even one game. (See this link: http://www.hsbaseballweb.com/college_vs_pro.htm)
So yah, pretty much everybody and their mother.
BTW: Do you work for the White House? If not, you missed your calling.
That’s not even close to what I said. I of course understand that. But you are implying the only way a baseball player can take their future career seriously is by playing for a college baseball team in the south. That is of course ridiculous. There are plenty of Major Leagir players that have come up playing in the Midwest or Northeast or wherever. If he’s good enough, he will be found and he will succeed wherever he plays.
Randy have considered finishing all of your drugs in one night?
If you ask me a question that is legible and makes sense maybe i will answer, "special" guy.
Try what? You couldn't even put a single sentence together. You should try that. And then attempt to remove frans pen15 from your mouth.

Extremely difficult to play two collegiate sports and excel at either of them. I only played one and have no idea how I could have managed another one.

Sounds like he could be related to Sarah Huckabee Sanders
not entirely accurate. while you have to be pretty talented to play professionally, and technically, everyone who has a uniform has a chance to make it to the top.........MLB franchises employ hundreds of players that they know full well will never sniff higher than A ball.
there has to be teams for the for the prospects to play on at every level......including summer rookie ball in AZ and FLA. A lot of the players that fill those rosters are Dominican players. For every Sammy Sosa, there are 500 dominican guys that wont ever see AA, and MLB clubs know it. Thats why they exploit them and pay them next to nothing. Because when they flame out or move on with their lives there are 100 more guys waiting to fill their place. If you are a good guy, don't cause any problems, and are a decent lower-level professional talent-wise.......you can stick in an organization 5,6, 7 years.
Fake news on your percentages or whoever put those together. Those numbers are definitely high.

I must be bad because why? Most likely you don’t agree with me. The natural Dem trait is to proclaim the moral high ground then impune anyone who does not agree with them. Have a great Easter.
Even worse then people that are extreme Hawkeye fans on both the ends of the spectrum (the always negative on one side and Kilroy on the other) are people that are part of the United States ridiculously antiquated two-party system that always blame the other side for everything and don’t take responsibility for anything. Both of your parties are the reason - and continue to be the reasons - for a large part of the country’s problems.
Sorry for the rant but nothing is more pathetic then listening to Republicans and Democrats argue like spoiled children over things they both do.

His last time up he too, the closer throwing 95 into the right-center gap, the center fielder made an outstanding play to rob him of extra bases. Good to see him have some success in game 3, Iowa could use another good bat the last month of the season.
those 2 unearned runs Iowa gave up were killers in a one run loss; without that one bad inning Iowa SWEEP Nebbie.
yeah, the Nebbie 9th inning closer's pitches were all between 93 and 96 mph. why is he not in the MLB farm system yet? And Connor had a great hit to right center; the Nebbie outfielder simply made a great diving catch
There are many collegiate summer leagues:

Is this a serious question? For as far back as I can recall there have been summer collegiate leagues. There actually used to be a good one in Alaska and the Cape Cod league is renowned. In the 90’s I coached a wood bat collegiate league “metro collegians” in St. Louis that produced a few MLB players.
yeah, I don't know much about this 13 team league.
Is it all college players, by invite only?
nevertheless, Albany's 1st game is May 31 and they have games in June and July. The playoffs are in August.
Crazy that Connor will be away big time from his college basketball team and will be putting up shots on his own.

OSU certainly not in the south. The weather in Oregon support being outside and playing baseball a lot more than the midwest/B1G footprint. Hope like heck that Heller gets Iowa to Omaha someday, but it will always be a longshot.
Totally serious. I think most casual college baseball fans are probably unaware of these summer leagues.

NOTE that:
* Connor will play at Connors Park at Siena College. "Connor at the Connor at Siena." Interesting!
* Connor will join 34 other college players from around the USA to play for this team.
* Connor/his team will play 24 home games & 24 away games starting the 1st week of June.
* The Albany team, as of Apr 12, was still looking for host families for the college players.
Check it out.

I think you are 100% correct.
Lets face it; Heller has been at Iowa 5 years and before his arrival, once basketball season was over, people started thinking about football.
Iowa Baseball? Well, we sucked and people simply didn't care much about what was going on in college baseball as a result.
MLB baseball, sure. Collge baseball? Who cares. Until now, because Iowa suddenly has a legit program again.
And now that Iowa is sending players to MLB farm systems, we, as fans, are learning more about things like these summer leagues for college players.
Nebby closer is a freshman. He didn’t get drafted probably because he wouldn’t have signed.
Hickman fr Iowa was throwing 96 as a Sophomore.
