Orioles take Martin again



It seems the Baltimore Orioles like Jarret Martin. For the second straight year, Jarret was chosen by Baltimore in the Major League Baseball draft. Martin, who set a central section home run record at Centennial High last year and tied the Bakersfield College home run record this year, was chosen in the 18th round, a one-round improvement over last year, when he was chosen in the 19th round. Despite his prolific batting numbers, major league teams are interested in him as a pitcher.

As he did last year, Jarret will now consider his options before deciding to sign professionally or return to the Renegades for his sophomore year. K.C. Hobson, the dominant high school player who led the Stockdale High Mustangs to back-to-back section championships, was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth round.
