2022 Elder Baseball

[pantherland]

When was the last time an Elder player got drafted out of HS? I think Vaughn has a legitimate chance to be drafted next yr.

Maybe Charlie Leesman? He had a cup of coffee in the majors. He probably graduated about 10 yrs ago.

He was drafted out of college, don’t believe he was drafted out of HS.

According to Wikipedia, Leesman was drafted out of high school in ‘05 in the 40th round, didn’t sign, played at Xavier and then was drafted in ‘08 in the 11th round.

Interesting. For perspective, the draft is now only 20 rounds.

He actually graduated 17 years ago. Time flies!

Didn’t know that. Thought it was still insanely long

It used to be 40 until a few years ago but with the massive cuts to the minor leagues, they had to reduce the number of rounds significantly

 

[pantherland]

They have had a handful. Some that come to mind. Brad Hargraves, Billy O conner, Dave becker, Jason Poland are some over the past 25 yrs or so. Probably missing some. Most played at a college level before being drafted.

 

[typeman]

Dave Grawe was drafted in the 7th round of the 2nd ever draft (1966). He is the highest drafted Elder player out of high school.

 

[Coach McCoy]

I seem to remember a Rohrmier (sp?) being drafted, not sure if it was out of high school or not but he had a long minor league career. He hit well in the minors too but never got a call up. Maybe the 70's. Someone on here can shed light on this maybe?

Coach, Danny Rohrmier, class of 83. Cut 3 straight years and kept trying out. Made varsity his senior year and hit .350 with a lot of pop. Had a very long career in baseball. Always hit the heck out of the ball. I believe he had a brief call up to the majors.

Chris Nichting pitched a year for the Reds about 20 years ago.

Yea, I looked him up and it looks like he did get a call up and had like 9 AB's. He spent a long time in the minors and hit well there but only a brief call up.

Who's on Glenway exactly?

 

[Omar]

Luke Vaughn has switched his commitment to Alabama. This is a big deal as SEC schools do not extend a lot of offers outside of the Southeast Region.

 

[EHS 2001]

Who's on Glenway exactly?

West High?

 

[1965 Panther]

West High?

West Hi is on Ferguson

 

[EHS 2001]

West Hi is on Ferguson

But their baseball field is along Glenway.
