Who was the last big draftee out of NKY? Glaser in the 3rd round?

 

Who before Glaser was a high draft pick straight out of high school? Leo Foster?

Glaser was 2nd round in 1997, not sure before that.

In 92 Todd Etler went in the 5th round to the Reds and Jelani Brandon went in the 10th to KC...

Is Glaser still pitching?

Boone County's Chad Dillion 4th round to the Giants drafted since Glazier

I can't remember for sure, but I think Lenny Spicer from Walton was drafted pretty highly. Don't know what ever happened to him though.

 

Off topic a bit but here's a good trivia question: Holmes grad Leo Foster did something that only one other major leaguer has ever done in the history of baseball in his major league debut, what is it? (Hint: He was the only one to do this until 2002 when Seattle's Ron Wright also did it)

Nope. Finishing up school in the Boston area. Living with his fiancee...

His 12-6 curve was a thing of beauty and great frustration back in the day...

Didn't he hit into a triple play?

Don't know how high in the draft but Bobby Barton(Holmes '63/'64?) probably played in the majors longer than anyone in the NKY area.

 

Scott Wiggins(NCC-Yankees), Brandon Berger(Beechwood-KC), Tim Grogan(CCH-?)

Helped that he set it all up with a 93mph heater...That was fun to watch...

Glaser had a ton of potential.....RandyJohnson body and like you said sticky.. he could bring the heat. Its too bad he didnt pan out and make it to the Majors but that just goes to show you how tough it can be and you need a ton of luck.

 

Berger making it as far as he did was a real shocker to me.

Boone County's Chad Dillion 4th round to the Giants drafted since Glazier

 

Directly out of Boone?

I'd guess Barton was earlier than 63/64.

 

Grogan was a 40th+ pick.

Directly out of Boone?

 

 

Believe he was right out of Boone .Looks like he could still pitch ,still throws hard .Apparently hit low 90's in HS .

 

What about Wera (sp??) from Beechwood ?Believe he is in the Mets organization .Did he get drafted out of HS?
