And, so, the waiting begins

 The 2022 MLB Entry Draft is over, and three players with ties to Section II went in the late rounds today.

Leading the group is Troy High lefthander Mike Kennedy, who was selected by Pittsburgh in the 4th round. Kennedy now has a choice to make. Does he decommit from LSU, or does he choose not to sign, and re-enter next year?

In the 5th round, Luke Gold (Boston College/Ballston Spa) was picked by Detroit. While he has experience as a 2nd baseman, 3rd baseman, and shortstop, Gold projects as a 3B with the Tigers.

Finally, a familiar name that would haunt Troy fans as a football player instead of a baseball player, Dale Stanovich (Amsterdam/Rutgers), was drafted by Miami as a pitcher, his position with the Amsterdam Mohawks in the Perfect Game Collegiate League. Stanovich, you might remember, helped the Rams upset Troy in the 2015 Class A Super Bowl.

Maple Hill's Gavin Van Kampen was not drafted, but that doesn't mean some team won't take a chance on him this summer before re-entering the draft next year.

And, now, comes the waiting game, with less than two months before colleges resume classes.
