Daniel Buller, who was
a 2003 all-league baseball player at Yosemite High School, last
week was chosen in the 2004 major league draft.
Buller was drafted in the 49th round by the New York Mets. He will
do what is called a “draft and follow.” That means Buller is obligated
to the Mets through the June 2005 draft. If, at that time, he is
not signed by the Mets, he will be eligible to be drafted by another
major league team. The Mets’ scout, Chuck Hensley, traveled from
the East Coast last week to work-out the deal.
Buller, a left-handed pitcher, will continue playing for Fresno
City College during the 2005 season.
Burns is Bee
all-star
Jake Burns, Yosemite High School’s all-league pitcher/first baseman,
received yet another accolade. He was designated as one of the Fresno
Bee’s 2004 all-star players. This distinction was given to just
11 players.
Ted Lilly update
Former Yosemite High School baseball player Ted Lilly is pitching
for the Toronto Blue-Jays. He is 5-3 with a 4.02 Earned Run Average
(ERA). Lilly is a “starter” for the Jays.
