2016 State Draft Report: New Hampshire
| CROP RATING | |
 |
Solid, not spectacular |
| Rating compares this year’s group to what a state typically produces, not to other states | |
In a given year, the state of New Hampshire typically produces a handful of drafted prospects. In 2013, however, 10 players were selected out of New Hampshire schools. This could be the result of the growth of Division 2 power programs Southern New Hampshire and Franklin Pierce.
This year also has a very strong draft prospect in Kobie Taylor. Taylor, who is committed to Vanderbilt, is a promising athlete with a fluid swing. His talent fits inside the top 10 rounds, but signability will dictate where Taylor ultimately lands.

Cody Dube, rhp, Keene State (N.H.) – Dube had a prolific senior season for Keene State, using his low 90s fastball and 10-to-4 slider effectively and pitching to a 1.20 ERA over 67 2/3 innings. He struck out 84 batters and walked just 13. The 6-foot-1 righthander could be a candidate to sign an underslot deal as a senior sign.
