The Northeast-10, which includes such nationally ranked teams as Southern New Hampshire University, Franklin Pierce University, and Southern Connecticut State University, is a very strong conference as well. The Northeast-10 is a wood-bat conference. So it's typically produces 10+ MLB draft picks every season. In 2011 alone Franklin Pierce produced four top 5 rounders and Southern New Hampshire produced 2 draft picks. SNHU is currently ranked 13th in the D2 Baseball and Pierce is 28th. Both teams should produce a combined 8+ picks alone this year with Pierce CF Jimmy Roche potentially sitting in the 3rd round.
