As the world of college baseball
descends on Omaha, Neb. for the
College World Series, just one event
remains on the schedule for Michi-
gan baseball - the draft.
Held June 5 and 6, Major League
Baseball's First-Year Player Draft
represents the ultimate goal of the
game's elite - a chance at profes-
sional baseball.
As draft day nears, several
Wolverines will be watching intently.
Michigan coach Geoff Zahn said he
is almost positive that senior second-
baseman Scott Tousa will be chosen
and given a chance to play profes-
sionally. He is also said he is pretty
sure that returning pitchers Rich Hill
and Bobby Wood will see offer
sheets next week. Two other juniors,
pitcher/first baseman Jeff Trzos and
No. I starter Bobby Korecky, are
also possibilities.
That leaves Michigan baseball
fans with the $64,000 question: Who
is going to leave school early?
According to Zahn, any and all of
those players could be in the minor
leagues next year if the situation is
right.
"I think that they all have enjoyed
their time here," Zahn said. "But this
is an economic issue. It all depends
on how much money is offered and
how badly the players want to sign."
While Zahn believes that addition-
al time at Michigan could provide
his four underclassmen pitchers with
invaluable experience, he concedes
