Sheldon Catchot!!

[gebc1997]

Sheldon Catchot is currently plaing in the AAABA tounament in my home town of Johnstown, PA. He is predictably playing for the New Orleans entry. I havent had a chance to see him play yet, but his school is listed as Chipola JC, not SE Louisiana. He may be a DFE now. N.O. plays at 10 am tomorrow and if they win, I may see them Saturday. I'll try and give a scouting report. At worst, I can give a stat update on him.

Hey nice heads-up and to other rare posters out there Brewerfan works not just because of a few dedicated individuals, but also lots of people just doing little things too!

So far through 4 games, Catchot is 1 for 11 with and RBI. He has yet to pitch. New Orleans was eliminated today, but I have not seen the box score yet. I'll update later.

Catchot plays for New Orleans

Thanks for the head's up gebc1997. I believe we received word a week or two after the draft that the Brewers were trying to convince young Mr. Catchot to attend a JC so they would be able to follow him through next spring. I know they're interested in him quite a bit, although Catchot is also interested in attending school (at least for one year). I'm almost positive that Catchot was at the Brewers pre-draft workout, and he looked pretty dang impressive.

 

Nice to know he's heading for Chipola, certainly a JC with some serious clout in the scouting world. The level of competition won't be in question that's for sure.

 

And gebc1997, do you ever see Pete Vuckovich strolling around town? You share the same hometown.

I'll see Vuckovich occasionally. My brother in law and best friend delivers heating oil to him all the time.

Just to update Catchot's stats

 

Final numbers:

 

13 AB, 1Hit, 1 RBI

 

0 IP, 2H, 3ER

 

Not too impressive, but certainly a very small sample size.
