Since 2003, GSU has had 37 alumni drafted by Major League Baseball or go on to play
professional baseball. In recent years, those drafts have gotten higher and
higher as they have gone from Scott Youngbauer's 10th round draft being the highest
in their history from their inception to 2000, to Tanner Rogers being drafted
by the Marlins in the 8th in 2003... to Trevor Pippin being drafted 4th by
the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Clayton |
Shunick went 5th in 2008 to the Cincinnait Reds, David Buchanan went 6th to the Mets
in 2009 and 7th to the Phillies in 2010, and finally 2011 saw Catcher Jordan
Weems sign with the Boston Red Sox in the 3rd round. The Panthers have certainly
come a long way in the past decade |
