Sean Isaac wears a bit of a chip on his shoulder in the best way possible. He pitched in the Angels backyard at Vanguard University, putting up great numbers and attracting the attention of scouts. A couple of times a month he would head to the Big A with a couple of friends and hope for his chance to join the MLB ranks.
Between being a senior with little negotiating leverage and playing for an NAIA school, he dropped to the 35th round before being selected by Billy Eppler and the Angels. So, while being very personable and polite, he carries an evident desire to prove that school size and 34 plus rounds of draft position don’t mean a thing if the player can get the job done.
