Very impressive resume! I wonder if he tried out or got picked by USA baseball team ever?

No wonder many haven't heard of him especially myself, Brittney.

He was invited to the trials, he declined for personal reasons to continue onward.

Have had a large number of scouts watching him the last few years.

Have seen where he is predicted to be a first rounder, and its nice to have coaches like Oklahoma's, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech's, Clemson's, FSU's and others calling him one of the best pitchers they have ever seen play. Pomeranz was very complimentary of him.

All top pitchers definitely do not always go to Team USA. Jungmann, Jed Bradley, and Hultzen are all probably top 20 picks.

Some want the break instead

Especially for pitchers, although with the jobbers Team USA usually faces it does nothing but pad stats for pitchers.
