Two North Dakota Athletes Selected in 12th Round of

2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft

Friday June 6, 2008 - Two North Dakota athletes have been selected in the 12th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball first-year player draft. 

 

Multi-sport standout Zac Elgie of Minot was picked by the Oakland Athletics with the 364th pick. The 18-year-old right-handed hitting first baseman, who just graduated from Minot High School, has signed to play for the University of Kansas in the fall. The 6-foot-2 Elgie drew the attention of scouts last summer when he hit .473 for the Minot Vistas American Legion team and had 34 home runs and 114 RBIs in 65 games. Elgie becomes the highest high school player to be drafted out of high school in North Dakota history.

Two picks after Elgie was selected, the Minnesota Twins selected Linton native Kyle Carr. The 6-foot-5 left-handed pitcher with a 90 mile per hour fastball, who just completed his junior year on the University of Minnesota baseball team, was selected by the Twins previously. Carr was drafted by the Twins in the 31st round out of high school in 2005. Carr has decided to skip his senior season with the Gophers to sign a contract with the Twins. He will start his professional pitching career in Elizabethton, Tennessee, which is the Twins advanced Rookie League affiliate.

 

The Bismarck Governors would like to congratulate Zac and Kyle on this great accomplishment and wish both of them the best of luck with their future in baseball.
