Just in case you needed another reason to follow the College World Series, the Cardinals have helped you out with their first pick in the 2017 Draft. Scott Hurst has been riding high with the Titans of Cal State Fullerton, who punched their ticket to Omaha in come-from-behind fashion. Hurst profiles as the perfect lead-off hitter that St. Louis always seems to find and could be a steal.
Hurst became the catalyst for the cinderella team and was not to be stopped in May. Just check out these stats leading up to the postseason, something that every Birds on the Bat fan can approve of and one to watch this week.
