Congrats to Mark Manfredi for being selected in the ninth round by the Milwaukee Brewers!
It's every young athlete's dream to one day take the field at the highest level, and earlier this week, a former Mayfield High School baseball player got his name called in the MLB draft.Manfredi has been around the game of baseball for most of his life, and he developed his game as a pitcher at Mayfield High.
“The one thing that I would have to say is your dreams aren't as far as you think they are,” Manfredi said. “Sometimes you're just one outing, one opportunity away of establishing your name and getting calls from either teams, organizations or just people that would give you an opportunity.” “I look at my phone, and all of a sudden, I look at the tv and my name's called! And everyone — I started crying, and everyone started freaking out…and then all of a sudden my phone starts blowing up, and I’m just like, this was like 15 seconds. So I wasn't even anticipating it. And it was just like, out of nowhere.
