Yacko was the #1 overall pick among players whose last name starts with a Y.  Congrats!

The first and still most accurate description of the D3 Championship BeltTM thread.

HA!!!!!!!! Surprising as most of us had him as the #3 Name-starts-with-a-Y prospect.
Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

Can't believe Sergei Yakutsk has fallen this far.

I, X and U are still looking for their first selection.  My money is on I to break the drought first. (Hey! That's grammatically correct in this case.)

You mean alphabetically?  draft complete through 13 with only 2 D-III players.

Any transfers to a D-I scholol get drafted?  Those are harder to spot.

hey infieldad; question for you??? i have been reading some of the scouting reports on these kids and if you read them there are a lot of them that are saying big kid, rough, needs polishing, will be a good solid player with instruction, I don't get it??? from what i have seen the past 3 years in DIII that there are a bunch of kids that would put these kids to shame and none of them are given the time of day??? I don't get it what is it about MLB and DIII it is like they are treating our kids like they have the west nile virus or something, why won't they give them the time of day???

Congratulations to SCIAC co-champ Kurt Yacko from Chapman U. and Mr. Vass who will be headin to the Colorado Rockies and Brewer's system sometime soon.
Although, I will never root for the Rockies in my Life, I am glad to see that Mr. Yacko will be joining Cal Lu's Jason Hirsh (former D3/ So. Cal Baseball players) in playing with the Big Boys in the Bigs. Hope to see these guys on the field sometime in the future against my Dodgers.

Gotta Love the funky music that goes along with Yacko's highlight film.
