I may be a bit biased. My time as a student at the University of Miami overlapped with Peter O’Brien, who transferred there for the 2012 baseball season to improve his MLB draft stock and convince teams that he could stick at catcher.
It worked. O’Brien slashed .340/.441/.626 with 10 home runs and 40 runs batted in, leading the team in each of those categories. The Yankees selected him in the second round of the draft. Within two years, his bat carried him up to Double-A, but his 6-foot-4 frame proved to be a poor fit behind the plate.
