The Fayetteville Regional this weekend will have a bevy of All-Americans on display, but none of them are expected to be taken as high in the next week’s Major League Baseball Draft as Dallas Baptist University outfielder Jameson Hannah.
Hannah (5-9, 184), a left-handed hitting and throwing center fielder who made his name in the Cape Cod League last summer, is projected by some industry insiders to go as high as the No. 30 pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
That is a slot that would bring over $2 million to Hannah, who is hitting .360 so far this season with six home runs, 45 RBIs and eight steals and viewed as the 32nd-best prospect in draft by MLB.
