I have watched his work ethic grow and develop through the 5 years I got to coach him and he understands what it takes to be successful at a professional level."

Meccage was the 57th pick in round 2 of the MLB Draft. It has a slot value of $1.56 million. The article says the Brewers will have to "sign him away from a commitment to the University of Virginia."
