What's behind the surge in Kevin Newman's draft stock?
Despite playing on an Arizona Wildcats team that will probably not play in the postseason in any of the three years he's been in Tucson, junior shortstop Kevin Newman is continuing to draw major interest from MLB scouts and draft pundits from around the country.
It was a huge shock when ESPN's Keith Law ranked Newman as the second-best prospect in the 2015 MLB Draft. If you take just his Cape Cod League performances, where he's the only player to win two-straight batting titles, it makes sense to have Newman that high.
