Conor Harber is really, really good. He was having a fine season when he came through Hawaii…but man, his stats now are just awesome. 20.1 IP, 8 hits allowed with 23 K and only 5 walks and 8 hits allowed. He leads the staff with a .119 opponent batting average. He has been drafted twice–by Baltimore in 2013 (38th Round), and Tampa Bay in 2014 (40th Round). You can see what…

Garrett Cleavinger is a fantastic pitcher for Oregon. So far this season he is carrying a 2.70 ERA over 6.2 innings. He has 5 hits, 8 K and walked 5. Batters are only hitting .238 off him. I never actually saw him pitch in Hawaii. The one game he was in I was actually watching an HPU game. There were a bunch of scouts are the HPU game who were listen to the Hawaii-Oregon game. One of the scouts…

When I first got into autograph collecting it was by writing to college baseball players.  I was stationed in Omaha at the time, and with the College World Series right there I was getting really into the D1 Baseball game.  Those first couple seasons were really fun, since most guys replied and some even included a nice note back.  The one reply that I will always remember was from Jeff Francis.…

The Ducks had a bunch of players that I was looking forward to meeting and getting autographs from, with Matt Eureste at the top of that list.

* He was drafted by the Indians in 2011–40th Round, 1,208th overall out of St. Pius X High School in Houston Texas. That is cool.

* He was a Cape Cod League All-Star in 2014,…

INF Mark Karaviotis

Mark Karaviotis is the Ducks starting shortstop this season.  He is a well thought of prospect, and was drafted by Arizona in the 39th Round of the 2013 draft.  He has the chance to improve that position quite a bit over the next couple seasons.  He is a really nice guy too.  He signed two cards for me, and spent 10 minutes while it seemed like half the stadium took pictures…

Everyone goes on about Cole Irvin, and for good reason, but my favorite starter on the Oregon pitching staff is David Peterson.

Peterson had a stellar high school run, culminating in being selected in the 28th Round of the 2014 draft by the Boston Red Sox.  He had actually fractured his right fibula towards the end of the season, and underwent surgery…so it say something that the injury did not…
