Randy Mazey feels the draft

He has a new contract to keep him warm, but WVU’s baseball coach has to feel a little … contracted? … by what’s going on around him. Ryan McBroom and Corey Walter are seniors who were drafted, so Mazey knew he was going to be without them next season. As expected, though, WVU is losing a heap of players to the MLB draft. A record six players were picked last week and that includes four juniors who either signed already or will soon sign: Bobby Boyd, Sean Carley (to the clean-shaven Yankees!), Harrison Musgrave and John Means.

That’s WVU’s two best offensive players, top two starters and closer. But, hey, you recruit for a reason, and WVU recruited pretty well. But WVU is also losing junior college transfer Greg Maisto, who signed Wednesday, while high school pitcher Caleb Ferguson has until July 18 to decide to sign or to attend college. We’ll keep an eye on that, because between frowning at Johnny Baseball — nee Football — and watching “The Other Guys,” his Twitter timeline is pretty entertaining.
