Bradley Talents Shine as Braves Sign Bradley Prospects
Bradley University produced three players signed by major league scouts for this year’s Braves, bringing the total to 29 in 12 years under Leo Schrall. Harold Kunkel and Bill Dixon joined the Giants with about 15000 bonuses each, Larry Pohlman went to the Reds for roughly 5000, while Bill Tuttle of Kansas City has been a standout in Schrall’s view. Dixon, a 185 pound junior batting .321 over two seasons, is touted as a faster hitter with big league potential, perhaps surpassing Tuttle’s college impact.
