15th round!!!!

We just watched Bennett get drafted live in the 15th round by the Atlanta Braves. He was Braves' first catcher selected, the first catcher from Colorado selected, the third player from from Colorado selected and the 15th H.S. catcher in the nation selected. He is meeting with a representative from the Braves today at the same time that his college coach is flying in to see him play tonight. No pressure, eh? He will have to make a decision by early August. I completely lost it watching it all unfold. This is all so surreal. No matter what he decides, this is one incredible kid. We love you, Bennett!!!

Stay tuned . . . . Here is the video of the pick:
