Two more no-schoolers in round 39. Both college-age, though.

Vidal actually is listed as a catcher on Miami-Dade's website, and judging from his .995 fielding percentage with one error, he most likely played catcher all year as well.
This will not change until the Reds win the World Series.......

Round 39: Jacob May, SS, Lakota West High School. The grandson of ex-Red Lee May.
He's got to be headed to college (edit: he is, Coastal Carolina), but this is the first time I can remember the Reds drafting a guy out of my high school directly. Of course, current Louisville Bat Matt Klinker went there, but the Reds picked him as a college guy out of Furman.

Detroit just took Lloyd McClendon's son Bo out of my daughter's alma mater Valparaiso University. I think they said McClendon is Detroit's hitting coach.

Dodgers took RHP Steven Matre, a Cincinnati native, out of Mount St. Joe in round 39.
Dodgers drafted a player from Mt St. Joe, RHP Steven Matre. There were a number of Matres from Reading when I was in high school at Moeller.

Ah, so 3B Garrett Nash, who was one of the no-school guys from round 39- had been on a Mormon mission the past two years. Interesting. Went to Arizona.
Somebody needs to turn up the volume on the Pirates feed. They're always really quiet, sort of like their bats.

http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/...x?article=1864RHP/SS Nick Sawyer (Hebron HS, Carrollton, TX): Sawyer does everything on the field well, including play both shortstop and the outfield at a very high level and swing the bat with power. He topped at 90 mph on the mound with a hard, sharp curveball and a feel for his pitches. Colleges should be all over him for his two-way ability.
Round 40: RF Marvin Orr, McNeese State U. 6'3", junior.
