FRIDAY’S DRAFT PICKS

SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 2014 • 7COMAHA WORLD-HERALD MAJOR LEAGUE DRAFT

Third-round choice nowmustdecide between pro ball and aHusker scholarship offer

BY MIKE PATTERSON

WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

After waiting to hear his name calledthe night before, Jakson Reetz took amore laid-back approach toward thesecond day of the Major League Base-ball draft.

He was playing video games Fridaywith his younger brothers when he wasselected in the third round by the Wash-ington Nationals.

“I wasn’t paying real close attentiontoday,” he said. “We were playing on thePlayStation when my cellphone blew upwith about 60 texts in a minute.”

Reetz, a senior catcher from NorrisHigh School, was the 93rd player se-lected overall. He had hoped to hear hisname called during the draft’s first tworounds Thursday night, but that didn’thappen.

“I was a little discouraged,” he said.“You obviously want to go as soon aspossible, but I’m extremely excitedabout the way things turned out.”

Now comes the difficult part forReetz, a Nebraska recruit who mustdecide whether to turn pro or honorhis commitment to the Huskers. It’s adecision Reetz doesn’t take lightly.

“The next step is to sit down and talkto the Nationals,” he said. “We’ll seehow that works out, and then I’ll discussthings with my family.”

That family consists of his parentsAndy and Leslie, and his three videogaming brothers — Will (14), Drew (13)and Garet (6).

Reetz becomes the first Nebraskahigh school player since 1996 to beselected in the first five rounds of thedraft. Bellevue East pitcher BuddyCarlyle was drafted in the second roundthat year by the Cincinnati Reds.

Reetz batted .486 and drove in 37runs for the Class B Titans this spring.He also belted eight home runs and hada 2.21 ERA as the team’s closer.

The 18-year-old, who recently wasnamed the Gatorade Nebraska playerof the year, said he was surprised thatWashington was the team that selectedhim.

“I didn’t expect that at all,” hesaid. “But I’m pretty fired up about itbecause they’ve got some really goodplayers.”

In addition to young stars such asBryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg,the Nationals already have someone intheir organization Reetz knows. DrewWard, a 2013 third-round selectionwho is playing Class A ball this season,played along with Reetz on a USA Base-ball showcase team.

“I feel thankful and blessed that Iwas selected in the draft,” Reetz said.“Now we’ll see what happens fromhere.”

Pelini wasn’t yet sure if the 6-foot-2,205-pound receiver would join thefootball team in Lincoln for summerconditioning workouts next week.

“We’re ready for him to come,”Pelini said.

Harrison, who watched the draftfrom the MLB Network studio in NewJersey Thursday, could not be reachedfor comment. Harrison’s adviser, RobMartin, declined an interview requestFriday morning.

The deadline for drafted players tosign professional contracts is July 18.

A Milwaukee front office executiveacknowledged Thursday night thatsigning the outfielder from Lee’s Sum-mit, Missouri, is not a certainty.

Bruce Seid, director of amateurscouting for the Brewers, told report-ers Thursday that he viewed draftingHarrison as an “opportunity” becauseof the prospect’s potential. But noth-ing’s guaranteed.

“We know it’s probably going to bea tougher sign,” Seid said, “but at thesame time, you have to take oppor-tunities like this. If we can make itwork, we’ll make it work.”

Area scout Drew Anderson, who let-tered with the Nebraska baseball pro-gram from 2001 to 2003, will work onMilwaukee’s behalf to try to persuadeHarrison to sign a deal. Seid plannedto speak with Harrison on Friday.

The Brewers have been allotteda total of $7.6 million (ninth-most

among MLB teams) to use on signingbonuses for all of the players theydraft within the first 10 rounds. It’slikely that they’ll offer Harrison morethan $1.1 million, the predeterminedsigning bonus value assigned to theNo. 50 pick.

Seid certainly had plenty of positivethings to say about Harrison’s poten-tial.

“I don’t ever want to put names to aplayer, but All-Star comparisons havecome up on him,” Seid said. “He hasa chance to play center field. He hasgood instincts out there, his stridesare outstanding. He’s got a plus arm,he’s got plus raw power and his speedis above average. It’s just like any-thing: It’s about playing the game, get-

ting enough at-bats and being patientin watching him develop.”

Milwaukee used its 41st overallpick to draft shortstop Jacob Gate-wood, a high school player fromClovis, California. Gatewood, a USCbaseball recruit, may have dropped abit, too.

The franchise’s general manger,Doug Melvin, said Thursday that theBrewers didn’t want to let Gatewoodor Harrison slide for much longer onthat first day.

“If you don’t take them early, you’renot going to get them,” Melvin said.“They’re just going to go to school.”
