 Colorado had the third pick, and the Rockies picked Georgia third baseman Charlie Condon, who started college as a walk-on. Projected first by some, the 6'6 Condon led the NCAA this year with a .433 average and 37 homers. The 21-year-old homered in eight straight games from April 26th to May 9th, one shy of the NCAA record, and won the Golden Spikes Award as the top amateur baseball player.
