This could be a huge turning point in his career.

Well how about that. I thought you were messing around but it really happened.

I wonder if he will forgo playing football and join the Dodgers.

Apparently he was pretty good in high school. Maybe this change is what he needed all along. Wish he would have given it a go with us if this is where his heart was all this time.

I believe last year he went to one of Clemson baseballs open batting practices and was hitting dingers.

They now have him listed as a pitcher on the MLB site. We could’ve really used him this past season as a pitcher.

For sure, if we only could have seen what could have been.

No way he can beat the pitch clock - better find something else

If he can hit ground balls the way he throws them then he could have a Hall of Fame career.

Or hit into a ton of double plays and never go beyond single A ball.

Don’t think the signing bonus for #611 is going to pay the bills for DJ.

I’m pretty sure he was actually the 610th pick though. 😀

16th round of MLB Draft does not have much of a chance of making the Class A team.

Were I him, I'd take the gamble on baseball

Based on what I've witnessed, I really don't think the NFL is in his future

I also just can’t see him getting drafted by the NFL. If he does sign with the Dodgers who knows he might become a future star.

I'd try this route

1. See if I'm worth a darn in OSU's system (football)
2. If not, play baseball for OSU. A season of college baseball should improve his stock from the 20th round if he's a baller.

He stands to make much more money in baseball than he will in football based on the sample space I've observed.

Too funny and strange because I just rewatched the ACC Championship game last night.

There was a definite possibility that he would play baseball coming out of high school as he was highly rated as a pitcher. Didn't he decide not to enroll in January because he wanted to play spring ball with his team. Then he got a freak accident, a bad cut to his hand from a medicine cabinet and ended up not getting to play. He had a major fast ball.

That is what he should have concentrated on all along.

I'm pretty sure he was originally supposed to play baseball as well at Clemson. According to this Clemson Insider article.

If only Streeter had known 2 years ago all he had to do was equip the WRs with catchers mitts….
