I got an email today from the San Diego Media Relations department telling me that Rich Hill of the University of San Diego has been one of the eleven collegiate coaches selected to meet with scouting directors and other MLB personnel. A couple of the other big name coaches are Ray Tanner of South Carolina, Augie Garrido of Texas, and Pat Casey of Oregon State. They are going to discuss how the relationship between collegiate baseball and MLB baseball can be improved with the sharing of information on potential draftees and other issues.
