• ... that Devin Futrell used a post to dodge a draft? Source: https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/college/vanderbilt/2022/06/02/how-devin-futrells-rise-vanderbilt-baseball-began-backyard-ace/9766018002
  • Reviewed: (Third nomination - none needed)
  • Comment: This refers to Futrell's use of a Twitter post to pull himself out of (i.e. dodge) the MLB draft. I mean no disrespect whatsover with this April Fools' nomination. Thank you.
