CSUMB draft prospects

As many as five players from the California Collegiate Athletic Association champion Otters baseball team could here their names called in the MLB June Amateur Baseball Draft on Wednesday.
 Rounds 10-40 will take place on Wednesday.
Among the names are San Benito High grad Jacob Tonascia, who hit .328, sharing the single-season school record for home runs with Hayden Duer with 18.
 Tonascia also broke the single-season RBI record for CSUMB with 65, with Duer driving in 61, also surpassing the old record.
 Table-setter TJ Dove is a candidate to be drafted as well, after hitting .380 for the Otters, finishing with a team high 90 hits and 62 runs scored.
 Dove reached base in a school record 49 straight games for CSUMB, compiling a school record 23 game hitting streak.
 Pacific Grove product Kyle Czaplak revitalized his career at CSUMB after a two-year absence from injuries, hitting .382 while playing flawlessly at shortstop.
 And pitcher Colton Fletcher posted a 10-1 record this past spring with a 3.10 earned run average. The left-hander struck out 74 in 81 innings of work.
 Dove and Czaplak have a year of eligibility left, while Tonascia, Duer and Fletcher are all seniors.
 The last player from CSUMB to be drafted was right-handed pitcher Kory Groves, who was chosen by the Baltimore Orioles in 2016.
