New York City-- Maize High School right handed pitcher Garrett Gould was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second round (65
th overall) of the major league draft Tuesday.
Gould was 6-1 with an ERA of 0.88 in 2009, as he led the Eagles to the 6A tournament semifinals. With a fastball in the low 90 mile an hour range, Gould averaged more than two strikeouts per inning.
Major league scouts told Gould that he would be drafted high, possibly in the first round.
Gould told KSN that reports of him seeking $1.1 million to sign with a professional team were inaccurate. Should he decide not to sign, he has committed to Wichita State.
