Ron Washington Jr is an OF from Texas and he committed to Pitt today. Late commit and a guy that wasn't a huge draft prospect this year- but just two years ago at this time this kid was one of the favorites for the first pick, not just first round but first overall.
What happened is that he was dominating the competition at an early age in part because he physically matured earlier than other kids. Obviously he came back down to earth and doesn't have a ton of physical projection left. But this kid was once seen as a 1.1 talent and has the polish of being a kid who played in all of the biggest national events against the top competition.
Arguably the biggest commitment for Pitt baseball in years excluding the ones that never made it to Pitt because of the draft.
With him and former Vandy transfer Liam Sabino in the lineup next year Pitt could have some quality offense.
