    College Baseball Teams

    I know I could look at the power rankings. I know I could do a lot of research and come up with my own conclusions. But I wanted your guys' opinions on the top 10 College Baseball programs.

    Which baseball teams consistently produce winners and scout players that eventually go on to be drafted in the first round from a MLB team. So who are these teams?

    Brewers

    UC-Fullerton is usually a power, Rice has become one. Miami, FLa is well known

    Yeah I like Cal State Fullerton a lot. I like the who the Reds drafted from their team as well. We got Daniel Dorn and "Mr Red" Justin Turner. I was raised in California too, so I might becoming a fan of theirs right now.

    I just don't have a team so to speak and I am looking for one.

    Dude, Pepperdine is always seriously underrated. The team who always seems to produce Major Leaguers and All Star Pitchers is Rice. They too get seriously shafted at times. Watch for some MidWest teams to make noise this year, perhaps Mizzou or Miss St. Both had strong seasons last year I believe.

    But the best ML schools are definety WCC schools, and Big XII schools. Both tend to produce a ton of draftees. Those division winners have been Top Dogs a lot recently...

    CSU Fullerton is like the Miami of Football, and Duke of basketball.

    Interesting observation. I will keep this in mind. Anyone know who the top 10 players will be next year?

    LSU is a regular in Omaha as well. So is either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.

    Long Beach State is usually good. Had Longoria, Crosby, Weaver come out of there recently. I love their nickname: "the Dirtbags."

    I think I am just going to have to start making the Cal State Fullerton team's site a favorite and start following them. They are usually a strong team and bring in quite a few strong players to the draft every year.

    Anyone know of a site that could tell me which school MLB player's attended?
