Jarret Martin signs contract with Orioles



Congrats to our client Jarret Martin, who has signed with the Baltimore Orioles. Jarret was selected by the Orioles in this spring's draft. Signed as a pitcher, the lefty is a prolific hitter who set the all-time central section home run record for the Centennial High Golden Hawks last year and tied the Bakersfield College Renegades home run record this year. Jarret is our fifth Centennial High client to play professional baseball. Brandon Roberts is currently playing AA ball in the Minnesota Twins organization; Brent Morel is playing high A ball in the Chicago White Sox organization; Zach Aakhus is playing in Crestwood, Illinois in the independent Frontier League and Jamie Arneson was with the Cincinnati Reds organization but is not currently active.

Read the very nice Bakersfield Californian article about Jarret's signing by my friend Zach Ewing.

We're also going to take the liberty of assuming that Jarret's proud parents and grandparents are very happy that he worked continuing college education into his contract. Great move, Jarret!
