Arizona State who made the 2008 College World Series this past season received a major boost in the arm with Josh Spence deciding to return for his senior season while third round selection Jake Barrett decided to attend ASU over signing with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Sun Devils only lost two signees to the MLB Draft this year in Nolan Arenado (second round/Cleveland) and pitcher Chad Thompson (17th/New York Yankees).
Arizona State should be able to have a highly competitive team next year based on the solid squad coming back for next season as many of their top hitters will be entering their sophomore or junior seasons including Kole Calhoun who grabbed my attention at the College World Series.
