Jason Kipnis turned down an offer from the San Diego Padres after being drafted in the fourth round last summer, and it looks like the strategy was a good idea, as Kipnis has made his case for a first-round selection this time around with a monster junior campaign. Flirting with .400, reaching base more than half the time and absolutely mashing the ball when he makes contact, Kipnis has been an offensive force for the Sun Devils this season. Kipnis has a good feel for the strike zone and has walked more than he has struck out for two consecutive seasons despite a big power stroke. He was named Pac-10 Player of the Year.
