Unsigned Senior Spotlight: C Drew Green

December 2, 2013

As reported earlier, this fall we saw four class of 2014 catchers sign with major college baseball programs, a noteworthy turn of events for the state of Kansas.  Flying under the radar during the fall recruiting frenzy, however, was Lawrence HS senior catcher Drew Green who spent August through November locked in on his commitment to the Lions football program.

Green wasn’t nearly as quiet last spring on the baseball front when he was busy racking up KABC 6A All-State First Team Catcher and Sunflower League Player of the Year honors.  Those awards were due in large part to the damage the left-hand hitting catcher inflicted on opposing pitchers as he finished the season with a .439 batting average.  

In addition, he ripped five doubles and four home runs while legging out an impressive six triples in just 22 games.  The 5-foot-9, 205-pound backstop also stole six bases in six attempts and struck out only 7 times on the season while adding 14 walks.  When he wasn’t being pitched around with runners on base he drove in 27 runs.

Green comes from a family of athletes as his brother played basketball at Colorado State and his father was a wide out and punt returner for Kansas University back in the day.  He’s currently ranked the #31 player in the class of 2014 Prep Baseball Report Kansas rankings – the top uncommitted player in the state. 

We’ve had a number of high school coaches in the area recommend Green to the Prep Baseball Report as a college baseball prospect.  These reviews have been somewhat generic and of the “he killed us” variety.  

We turned to Brad Stoll, who coaches Green at Lawrence HS, for a more detailed scouting report: 

“Drew can flat out hit.  The best bat speed in the state, hands down.  He has shown above average power and well above average hitting ability during his time with us.”

“He has good arm strength and is a solid receiver.  He can run a bit, too, as evidenced by his six triples and six stolen bases in only 22 games.  Like most high school catchers he would probably need a year to develop back there at a Division I program, but there is no doubt in my mind he can hit right now at that level,” Stoll added.
