Mizzou QB Sam Horn Among Top 200 MLB Draft Prospects
Mizzou QB Sam Horn Among Top 200 MLB Draft Prospects originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite having thrown just 15 innings through two seasons with Missouri baseball, dual athlete Sam Horn might have a shot to make the MLB. Advertisement Horn, a pitcher for the baseball team and a quarterback for the football team at Mizzou, was recently added to MLB's Top Draft Prospects, which ranks the top 200 players with draft eligibility. The Lawrenceville, Georgia product sits at No. 124 in the rankings. As a high school recruit, Horn finished as a top 200 recruit nationally in football and baseball (no. 161 by ESPN and No. 162 by Perfect Game, respectively). The 124th pick would land Horn in the second half of the fourth round, while the whole MLB Draft lasts 20 rounds. Horn through a high of 98 MPH this season while also having a slider in his arsenal that had batters lost in 2025. Horn pitched 10.2 innings this season while striking out 14 batters and allowing seven hits. Six of Horn's seven allowed hits came from Alabama through two outings. The Tide managed to win both contests. Advertisement This in turn raises questions about Horn's availability on the football field. QBs Beau Pribula and Horn are still vying for the starting spot following spring workouts and according to Mizzou coach Eliah Drinkwitz. 'I told every quarterback that we will not be naming a starting QB coming out of spring,' Drinkwitz said in a press conference. 'It was clear to us after the first week and a half of spring, the competition is between (Pribula) and (Horn).'

Most of these known athletes continued their careers in the NFL. These players are able to sign MLB contracts while maintaining college football eligibility. Advertisement While Horn's MLB Draft stock continues to rise, his future remains firmly in his own hands. Whether he leans toward the mound or the pocket, Tigers fans and pro scouts will be watching closely to see which path Horn ultimately chooses.

Kennedy names 8 vaccine committee replacements, including COVID shot critic
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday named eight new vaccine policy advisers to replace the panel that he abruptly dismissed earlier this week. They include a scientist who researched mRNA vaccine technology and transformed into a conservative darling for his criticisms of COVID-19 vaccines, and a leading critic of pandemic-era lockdowns. Kennedy's decision to 'retire' the previous 17-member panel was widely decried by doctors' groups and public health organizations, who feared the advisers would be replaced by a group aligned with Kennedy's desire to reassess — and possibly end — longstanding vaccination recommendations. The new appointees to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices include Dr. Robert Malone, the former mRNA researcher who emerged as a close adviser to Kennedy during the measles outbreak. Malone, who runs a wellness institute and a popular blog, rose to popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic as he relayed conspiracy theories around the outbreak and the vaccines that followed. He has appeared on podcasts and other conservative news outlets where he's promoted unproven and alternative treatments for measles and COVID-19. He has claimed that millions of Americans were hypnotized into taking the COVID-19 shots. He's even suggested that those vaccines cause a form of AIDS. He's downplayed deaths related to one of the largest measles outbreaks in the U.S. in years. Other appointees include Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a biostatistician and epidemiologist who was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, an October 2020 letter maintaining that pandemic shutdowns were causing irreparable harm. Dr. Cody Meissner, a former ACIP member, also was named. Kennedy made the announcement in a social media post on Wednesday. The committee, created in 1964, makes recommendations to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC directors almost always approve those recommendations on how Food and Drug Administration-cleared vaccines should be used. The CDC's final recommendations are widely heeded by doctors and determine the scope of vaccination programs. ___ Associated Press reporter Amanda Seitz contributed to this report. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
