Tampa, Fla. -- Keon Barnum is ready for Monday's baseball draft, regardless of when he gets a phone call from a Major League team.

"It don't really matter what team," Barnum said. "Whatever spot I get picked in, just go out and play."

Barnum is a likely first-day draft pick, with the potential to go in the first round. With comparisons to Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, Barnum is big (6'4", 225 pounds) with a smooth left-handed swing.

"When we got him he was a great hitter," King head coach Jim Macaluso said. "We left him alone."
