View Draft Report
McKendree shortstop Brian Dinkelman broke former big leaguer Randy Velarde's NAIA career records for hits (373) and assists (679) and set new standards for runs (303), doubles (96) and total bases (670). The NAIA player of the year, he hit .462-17-65 and led the NAIA with 82 runs, 34 doubles and an .899 slugging percentage. Dinkelman should be a mid-round draft pick because he's a strong lefthanded hitter with decent tools. He's a little stiff and lacks the footwork to play shortstop, so he'll have to move to second base or the outfield, leading to increased expectations with his bat.
