As soon as rosters came out for the coming season, I think everyone who follows college baseball knew that Kenny Diekroeger would be a player to watch. He was a second-round pick out of high school in 2009, he impressed as a freshman for Stanford and he cruised to top prospect honors in the New England Collegiate Baseball League last summer.
These days, Diekroeger is doing nothing to change anyone’s mind — unless people are thinking he’s even better.
In 13 games this spring, Diekroeger is hitting .426 with a home run, 11 RBI and a .456 on-base percentage. His average currently ranks third in the Pac-10.
That fits with what people expected from the sophomore shortstop. Baseball America ranked him as the second-best sophomore in the country, and Perfect Game had him as its fourth-best prospect for the 2012 draft.
Diekroeger is bound for Y-D this summer, along with teammate Mark Appel. If Team USA doesn’t come calling, both will be prime candidates for Cape League top prospect honors.
You have made some really good points there. I looked on the net for additional information about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this website.
