A young man who "wants to play professional baseball", has been drafted by the name of Max Peterson, and he is from the same school as ex-Canadian Brad Kilby.

Peterson was 7-1 this year, to go along with his 4.55 ERA.  He struck out 62 in 65 and a third, and walked 37.

Last year he was 5-6 with an ERA above 5.00, and he was a pre-season All-WAC candidate, as named by Baseball America.

From Coach Sam Piraro on Peterson:

"He runs the count [...], he has really good stuff, he’s hard to hit, but what happens is it takes a toll on him later in the game."

Sounds like he can definitely turn out to be a good pitcher.

A closer out of Austin Peay State, Daniel Tenholder was picked by the A’s in the 19th round.  

Last year Tenholder was 4-1 with a 2.72 ERA, picking up 11 saves.  He struck out 41 in 36 innings.

In 2009, Daniel went 3-2, during 30 appearances (1 start), and had an ERA of 2.93.  His 9 saves gave him the most ever for an Austin Peay pitcher all-time.  He averaged just under a strikeout per inning, and held batters to a .234 average at the dish.
