Just saw in twitter that Marcello was drafted in the 17th rd by the Phillies. Congrats to him, even though I hate Philly

Also saw that Zack Littell, one of our incoming freshman was drafted in the 11th by the Mariners. Hopefully he still makes it up the mountain

Two more selected in the 24th

incoming freshman Matt Brill by the Mets and Sam A-W by the Yankees

Here are our picks as of this post.

RD PICK NAME SCHOOL STATE POS B/T CLS HT/WT/DOB
11 327 Littell, Zach Eastern Alamance NC RHP R/R HS 6’3/190/10-5-95
17 511 Marcello, Rob App State NC LHP L/L SR 6’3/230/10-16-90
24 716 Brill, Matt Moline IL RHP R/R HS 6’2/190/10-25-94
24 734 Agnew-Wieland, Sam App State NC RHP L/R JR 6’1/210/5-31-92

Zack Littell almost certainly won't be at App next year. Good sign for the App program though when you start recruiting guys who pass up school for the draft.

The Mountaineers jumped on Zack early before the bigger schools heard about him and I was excited to see him in the SoCon (before App announced they were leaving) since UNCG never showed much interest until he had become a bigger name. Great kid who has worked incredibly hard and I have had the pleasure of watching him for a long time.

Congrats too on all the other guys getting drafted associated with App, Mountaineer baseball program is looking really good right now.

Coming into the draft I figured Marcello, Callaway, Zupcic, Nunn, Crespo, and Agnew-Wieland would be drafted. I would be shocked if we don't have at least 2 more and possibly up to 4 more taken. Let's just hope Agnew-Wieland and both HS picks taken will return and we should be pretty good next year.

Nunn isn't eligible. Have to be a rising Sr. at least

Curious to see if either Sam or one of our incoming guys decides to forgo App

Another!

Hector Crespo taken in the 34th round by the Evil Empire

and Callaway taken in the 37th by the Giants

The more Apps they pick up, the less evil they become.

Dangit!! Even though I'm a Mariners fan, I was hoping we could still get him up the mountain. Seemed like a pitcher that we could have inserted as a starter right away

just saw on twitter than Hector Crespo is already being promoted to AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre! Big congrats to him!

Wow! That is a huge leap for a guy right out of college. Congrats to Hector!
