Hoping Zunino falls to us AND we take him.

I’ve watched his whole college career and have never seen him play anywhere else. He calls his own pitches which is really rare in college. He’s a good defensive catcher with some serious pop in his bat. Also, he’s a great leader. I really don’t see him falling to the Bucs, but if he does, they need to take him.

He catches now right? It wouldn’t be surprising that his stock would fall if GM’s are looking at him as more of a corner outfielder or first base type.

I’m a huge Florida Gators fan and Zunino is good but he has struggled against SEC pitching this year. Could be an anomaly, but his good numbers have been mostly put up against non-conference teams. That said, I would LOVE if he fell to us. I doubt it though because he’s good defensively and has a great attitude.
