Evansville (IN).\u00a0 Went 3-4, 4.31 ERA between LowA and ShortA with 39\/17 k\/bb in 62.2 relief innings, 4.63 fip, .290 babip in lowA.\u00a0 He struggled in LowA, but then dropped back to ShortA and was dominant.\u00a0 Not great, but certainly not bad for a 31st round 5th year senior as compared to what has happened to other 5th year senior signs on this list.\u00a0 Maybe not the best stuff, but has been effective.\u00a0 My guess is that he either makes the Hagerstown team next spring or is cut loose, but the fact that he hung around this long gives him some more room to work with.\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Trending Steady.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the 2014 draft class was HS kids who were long shots to sign and a Juco kid in the 40th who already had a transfer agreement to a good baseball school; one more piece of evidence to perhaps shorten the draft to 35 or even 30 rounds?\u00a0 Here&#8217;s a quick summary.<\/p>\n<p>Round 32: <strong>Cary, Elliott <\/strong>CF Clackamas HS (OR): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to Oregon State.<br \/>\nRound 33: <strong>Casey, Clay<\/strong> CF DeSoto Central HS (MS): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to Mississippi<br \/>\nRound 34: <strong>Skoug, Evan<\/strong> C Libertyville HS (IL): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to TCU<br \/>\nRound 35: <strong>Doyle, Tommy<\/strong> RHP Flint Hill School (VA): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to Virginia.\u00a0 At UVA, Doyle played an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalsarmrace.com\/?p=10671\">integral part in getting UVA out of the regional<\/a> but did not really factor after that.<br \/>\nRound 36: <strong>Styles, John Henry<\/strong> LHP Episcopal HS (TX): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to Stanford<br \/>\nRound 37: <strong>Brodey, Quinn<\/strong> LHP Loyola HS (CA): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to Stanford<br \/>\nRound 38: <strong>Fairchild, Stuart<\/strong> RF Seattle Prep (WA): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to Wake Forest<br \/>\nRound 39: <strong>Littell, Jon<\/strong> OF Stillwater HS (OK): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">did not sign<\/span>: honored commitment to OK State<br \/>\nRound 40: <strong>Hill, Jacob<\/strong> LHP JUCO Orange Coast Coll.

of Suarez and Byler signings, we are seeing some great surprises from later picks Keller, Bach and Mapes.\u00a0 Reetz and Dickey under-performance hurts the class too.\u00a0 Fedde&#8217;s return was good, but he needs to make himself into a legit #3 starter prospect for me to start thinking more favorably about this class.\u00a0 However, 19 out of 40 picks either never signed or are already gone after just one year, and another 10 are trending towards a release instead of production .. this can&#8217;t be good.\u00a0 Lotta red in that trending summary.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>PS: I created an XLS
