Hey folks,
Got pointed to this by one Matthew Brady at IU media relations -- it's a brief paragraph about the best recruiting class in the Big Ten. Guess who Baseball America says has it for incoming players this year? Read on.
As usual, Michigan has a solid class, led by projectable, athletic two-way player Tyler Mills and offensive catcher Coley Crank. But the best class in the Big Ten might belong to Indiana, which landed the conference's best recruit in lefthander Blake Monar. With two standout breaking balls -- a 12-to-6 curveball and a quality slider -- Monar can more than compensate for a fringy fastball. Rangy shortstop Jake Dunning, a junior college transfer from Florida, will step right into a starting job, and Alex Dickerson leads a strong core of lefthanded hitting.
A little dap for Dunning, not sure about the "fringy" comment on Monar's fastball, but he'll get to prove/disprove that notion in a few months. Dickerson keeps rolling in praise after a strong senior year and an impressive spring.
