that's great...i'd love to see a summary of our incoming guys..
Pollard's quotes on all three.
Murray
Loperfido"Ethan is a true gym rat on the baseball field." Pollard said. "He loves to play the game and his work ethic is unmatched. His understanding of process combined with his work ethic will make him a great professional baseball player. I have no doubts that Ethan has the skill set to play shortstop in professional baseball."
https://www.wralsportsfan.com/three-...raft/19769519/"I am truly grateful for Joey and everything he has done to elevate the Duke baseball program," Pollard commented. "He leaves Durham as one of the winningest players and best leaders in program history. He will be a consummate professional within the Astros organization."
Matt
"Peter solidified our offense in 2021 with an elite combination of power and speed," Pollard said. "What an incredible fifth year of eligibility. A Duke master's degree from the Fuqua School of Business, an ACC Championship and now an opportunity in professional baseball with the Chicago Cubs. I couldn't be happier for him."
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

I would like take this time to thank all the teams and organizations that have shown interest in me throughout the draft process. With that being said, I will be withdrawing my name from the 2021 MLB draft and honoring my commitment to Duke University

Do we have any news about the Sophs/Juniors that did not have stuff appearing on GoDuke? UFA or back to Duke for guys like Stinson and Schreck?
Sounds like rising Sophomore Adam Boucher was impressing in summer league: https://twitter.com/d1baseball/statu...43972677214210 (I can't read the article).
He only pitched 1.1 innings last year, and still has control issues according to the summer league stats, but should be interesting to see how he's used by Duke this coming year.
<devildeac> anyone playing drinking games by now?

The Mets have announced that they won't sign their top pick, Vanderbilt's Kumar Rocker, due to concerns with his physical examination. If this occurs it is unclear if Rocker will return to Vandy or rehabilitate in an independent league. The concern is with Rocker's pitching arm, but his agent insists he is healthy. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...am-sources-say
Wow. The Duke Curse now applies to baseball.
Great news - Chris Crabtree is coming back for a 5th year.
