From the AJC article on Georgia kids drafted last night:

National baseball analysts praised the state talent pool. Said MLB.com's Peter Gammons, "Georgia is, per capita, the best baseball state in the country."

Good stuff.

Baseball scouts love Georgia. Said MLB.com’s Peter Gammons: “Georgia is, per capita, the best baseball state in the country [for high school talent].” MLB.com’s Harold Reynolds said East Cobb had the “best summer program in the country.

Perception is everything in making projections, which is what a draft is all about. Five Georgians in the 1st round is a good indicator of how the state and particularly ECB, which, let's face it, stirs the Peach State punch, is regarded. I can't imagine Georgia baseball at the top, nationally speaking at least, without ECB's huge contribution. Harold Reynolds's comments deserve as much notice as Peter Gammons's.
