College Corner: I think I've Found Our First Round Draft Pick!

So, I'm surfing through the college boxscores over on d1baseball.com and I come across this stat line from a Univ of Kansas relief pitcher: 2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 6 K's, HBP. That's right, 6 K's in 2 IP as in he struck out the side twice in a row. The kid's name? Brett Bochy!! So I go the Kansas roster page and notice he's from Poway, CA. Isn't Poway near San Diego and isn't that where Bruce Bochy lived when he was the manager down there? I click on his name. Up comes his player bio. Sure enough Parents are Bruce and Kim Bochy. Father is manager of the SF Giants. Here's the address of Brett Bochy's player page:

Look at that melon! Not sure Kim contributed any DNA to that kid! Looks like Boch just went out and found a cloning lab.

Here's Brett Bochy's 2009 stat line: 5-0, 4.34, 37.1 IP, 16 BB, 54 K's.

Hmm....Let's see, Dad's reputation is for building great bullpens. Sonny is a relief pitcher, and a pretty good one at that.........

Not our first rounder, but he fits the mold of the type of pitcher the Giants like to grab in the later rounds, don't you think?
