Well the Phillies are surely smart enough not to forfeit a draft pick, I think. But we have to be done at this point except for anyone who wants to take 100k to sign.

Tremendous job by the Phillies and great job by you in this thread. Easily the draft class that has me the most excited since the 1998 class.

bio

Recent Otterbein University graduate Tyler Kent (Grove City/Grove City) attracted another postseason honor Monday afternoon, being named to the D3baseball.com All-Mideast Region first team.

A dynamic center fielder, Kent was one of 14 players to land on the first team and one of 42 total across the first, second or third team. This marks his first all-region award.

Kent, a two-time All-Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) selection, became perhaps the most feared hitter in the league this past spring en route to unanimous first-team honors as a senior. He finished atop the league in hits (71), RBI (48), runs scored (53), doubles (20), home runs (11), total bases (130) and slugging percentage (.739). He set new Otterbein single-season records in hits, runs scored and total bases while also tying the mark for most doubles.

In addition to leading the OAC in those multiple categories, Kent also ranked fourth in batting average (.403) and triples, while coming in fifth with a .468 on-base percentage. He missed out on OAC Player of the Year honors to Baldwin Wallace's Mark Zimmerman, who was also voted the Mideast Region Player of the Year.

Tyler Kent was an American diplomat who stole thousands of secret documents for a pro-German organization while working as a cipher clerk at the US Embassy in London during World War II.

Wait, so he just pockets the signing bonus and retires the following week? LOL.
