Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

With the 29th pick of the first round of the 2024 MLB Draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks selected Outfielder Slade Caldwell out of Valley View High School in Arkansas. The explosive outfielder is a part of a similar trend of smaller, fast, great bat skills outfielders taken in the Mike Hazen draft history. A short, extremely fast, left-handed, and limited pop outfielder. Sounds like Arizona's liking. Caldwell fits all of that to a tee. The 5' 9 outfielder has an advanced approach at the plate while he utilizes his plus speed on the bases and in the field to cover plenty...

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Travis Bazzana feels like he represents an entire country, not just a college. Cleveland selected the Australian second baseman on Sunday night with the No. 1 pick in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft, and three players from Wake Forest were picked in the top 10. A former cricket, rugby and soccer player who came to the United States to play baseball for Oregon State, the 21-year-old hit .407 with 28 homers and 66 RBIs this season. He became the first Australian and first second baseman taken No. 1. “An opportunity to make an impact on a lot of baseball players and a lot of people back home in Australia, and hopefully change the narrative for baseball there,” Bazzana said.
