BATON ROUGE, La. – Shortstop Austin Nola announced Friday that he will return to LSU for his senior year with the baseball squad. Nola, the 31st round selection of the Toronto Blue Jays in last month’s MLB Draft, said he will put his pro career on hold until after the Tigers’ 2012 season.
“Coming back for my senior year is just a great opportunity that I couldn’t pass up,” said Nola, Baton Rouge native. “I’ve grown up following LSU and having the chance to play baseball and go to school here has been an incredible experience. You enter college with the idea that it’s a four-year commitment, and I want to earn my degree and help us get back to Omaha (for the College World Series).” Read the rest of this entry »
Oregon catcher/infielder Jack Marder had a difficult 2011 campaign which saw him hit .209 with two homers and 19 RBI in 45 games. After the season was over, the Seattle Mariners selected him in the 16th round of the 2011 MLB Draft.
“I think they were messed up in their drafting,” Marder joked before turning serious. “It’s one of those things they think potentially I could be a good catcher. As devastating as (the college season) was for me, I guess a few teams thought it was a fluke I didn’t have a good year.”
The long road trips and intense schedule in the Northwoods League doesn’t just drain the players as the umpires have an intense schedule. This season the league has allowed 16 up and coming umpires to work their slate of games. It is a long road as the umpires have a tough schedule of 76 games in 81 days, including the playoffs. The umpires get $3,750 for the year which comes out to $43.94 per game which is actually below the rate that high school umpires receive. The idea is that these umpires will use the experience umpiring in one of the top summer leagues in the country to eventually be asked to join the minor leagues the next season as a member of an umpire crew.
