DraftAmerica talks with Broken Arrow High School baseball coach Shannon Dobson about budding two-sport star Archie Bradley. The youngster has committed to play baseball at Oklahoma University in addition to quarterback for the football team. Dobson dishes on what fans can expect from Bradley, the grind of him playing two sports, and what he needs to do to continue his ascent as a pitcher.

DA: With Archie committing to play two sports, does it go without saying that you are biased on what you want him to ultimately pursue?

SD: I played at OU, so I'm happy he's going there. I think for him you'd like to see baseball more from a health standpoint.

DA: What is the general scouting report on Bradley?

SD: He's a prototype guy as far as pitcher, what you're looking for. He's about 6-4 ans 225 and he's gonna throw mid-90's and he's got a good second pitch in his breaking ball. If you go to the field and scout him, as far as pitching is concerned, he fits the bill as far as his physical features. He's a competitor and really loves to play, got a personality that's outgoing, he's not shy and he talks to people, and he's a good teammate. So he's a guy that has a lot going for him.

DA: What went into the two-sport decision?

SD: That was more of a personal decision, him and his parents. He's got really good parents, but I think it's more or less him liking to compete. I know at this level he can do this year round, but I'm not sure at what point that's going to change. Because that's hard to do, play Division I football and Division I baseball, and I know there are guys that have in the past. But he's one of those rare guys that has the capability of doing that. I don't know when that decision came, when he probably started getting recruited by big schools at the time as far as football interest. I think baseball is his first love, but I can't speak for him.

DA: How has his pitching developed and what does he need to do to continue to improve in college?

SD: He's got all the attributes, so for him it's probably going to be more cleaning up mechanics and learning to pitch in situational stuff and obviously getting command of more of his pitches. I think for him to keep moving and play at the college level and even pro level he's going to have to keep developing his changeup. That's an area that's gotta get better, because when you move on and you're pitching at that higher level it's important to have at least three pitches.

DA: Is it safe to say he has the mental toughness to handle the grind of playing both sports?

SD: I've been coaching for 20-25 years and been around good players, guys that were drafted, but just to see the attention a guy like [Archie] gets... we've averaged 40-50 scouts a game. And he's outgoing and has been able to handle that pressure. Talking to those guys hasn't intimidated him. He's still a high school kid, still young, but he's matured on the field and he's done a great job to this point.

DA: Is there concern about his arm in playing quarterback and also pitching?

SD: The way sports are now, everything is so year-round. I think the arm action isn't exactly the same with football and baseball. But [in high school] we talked about when he would get through with football giving him ample time to rest and not pushing him into baseball too quickly to let him rest physically and also mentally, because it is such a grind. And he didn't really have a lot of rest in the summer playing baseball down in Dallas, so he's been going at a pretty good pace and we just tried, before our season started, to give him some down time because those guys they need their rest, their bodies need to recover. So we tried to do that before our season.

DA: Any idea when he might figure out which sport he ultimately wants to pursue?

SD: To be able to play Division I in both sports is really kind of rare. He can probably go either way, or he could go both ways. It's probably going to be a personal decision on his part, but it's going to have a lot to do with the [MLB] Draft and what opportunities he's going to have there. So we should know more about that, what direction he might go, after the Draft in June.

This is the time when all 30 teams try and take a glimpse into the crystal ball that is their September call-up list. For the contenders it's a chance to have their youngsters make an immediate impact, while the non-contenders simply are figuring out which players will be ready for next year and which ones won't.

The Yankees have such a deep roster already they don't need to expect much from their callups, but the Rays are a different story. Classic overachievers, this is when they need some of those players to step up and make an impact. One in particular, 2005 fourth-round pick Jeremy Hellickson, could be a difference-maker.

3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in four starts in his first stint, Hellickson will be moved into the bullpen for the remainder of the season. With some experience under his belt already, he could really be beneficial to the club down the stretch.

And of course a Chris Sale update. On this the first day rosters expand, Sale, already having earned his promotion, picked up his first major-league save in a critical comeback win for the White Sox in Cleveland. The more we see of this kid, the more impressive he is. He hasn't shown any signs of hesitation being a rookie in his first year of pro ball.

Who will be next from the 2010 class to make it? Sale seems to be a major exception to the rule, but based on his stellar performance thus far, maybe teams shouldn't hesitate to let their bonus babies make the quick jump to the big leagues.
