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.
