Six of the top questions from the Ask.FM Q&A session on December 10th

What do u think about two-way guys in college? Heard it's tough because of splitting time between position and pitching work. Any comment?

PBR: Being a two-way player in college is extremely tough. It definitely can be done, but it takes a certain athlete that is able to really want to work at it.

Thoughts on three-sport athletes?

PBR: Just my opinion but I love three-sport athletes. One of the biggest things scout look for is how a prospect competes. Being able to compete all year round in my opinion is huge. Wish their were more three-sport athletes out their.

What are most scouts looking for in a high school shortstop? 

PBR: Shortstop is a crucial position and one main thing scouts look for is how they are defensively. Being able to play shortstop at the next level is tough.

Any guesses as to seniors who might get drafted in 2015?

PBR: When you are talking about the 2015 draft, the first name that comes to mind is Chandler Day. Other names to watch are Sam Bordner, Adam Wolf, and DJ Wilson.

Thoughts on the top three leftys in the 2016 class?

PBR: A lot of good southpaws in the 2016 class. In my opinion the three at the top are Nick Bennett, Jackson Tedder, and Michael McDonough.

Top five southpaws for the 2017 class?

PBR: A lot of good lefties in the 2017 class. In my opinion the top five are Michael Kirian, Alex Theis, Matt Dockman, Collin Romel, and Ryan Profitt.
