Jordan Scott, twice a member of WVU baseball’s recruiting class and selected in the 14th round of this year’s MLB draft, is now a professional. The high school third baseman who played the outfield this past season at IMG Academy had a smooth swing from both the right and the left side of the plate.
He would have been a player for the Mountaineers, as evident by what manager Randy Mazey had to say on signing day in November.
: “Jordan may be the best athlete in this class. He is a switch-hitter with power from both sides, and can run a 6.4-6.5 60-yard dash. He is a great kid that comes from a great family and he loves West Virginia. He can play multiple positions, hit home runs, steal bases, and is also a great defender. We are looking forward to him making an immediate impact in our lineup.”
But, hey, getting paid to play the game you love? Can’t hold a grudge for that. Best of luck, Mr. Scott.
