The #STLCards system went 3-5 on Monday. Co-Players of the Day Jake Walsh (p) allowed just one unearned run in six innings for Palm Beach and 2018 10th-rounder Kevin Woodall doubled, homered and plated two for Johnson City. https://t.co/UE5KUChRgh pic.twitter.com/79BU3hBl45

Don’t know how Woodall lasted until the 10th round this year. Here were his stats at Coastal Carolina –

245ABs/.298/.418/.576/.994/19HRs/62RBI/65Ks/45Ws

Maybe it’s because he stayed for his 4th year to get his degree in finance. Any other reasons?

Pretty good plate discipline for a big power hitter. He and Baker are going to be fun to watch come through the system at 1B.

Who would be a good comp for Woodall? Luke Voit perhaps?

[Brian Walton]

Coastal Carolina could also be a factor.

[gscottar]

Was he on their national championship team?

[bccran]

He was on the 2016 team as a sophmore, but didn’t start.

[bccran]

Why would Coastal Carolina be a factor, BW?

[Brian Walton]

Offense-heavy reputation and perhaps slightly lesser conference.

[bccran]

Won the National Championship in 2016. In 2018, they played teams like –

Virginia Tach
Oklahoma
Kansas State
Indiana
Charleston
Illinois
West Virginia
Maryland
Wake Forest
Ohio State
Clemson
South Alabama
North Carolina
Washington
UConn

Not too bad of a schedule.
