The Bay Area proved it is one of the hotbeds for top baseball prospects in the early rounds of this year’s MLB Draft.
No Bay Area players were taken among the top selections of the MLB amateur draft, but it didn’t take much longer for a handful of local standouts to hear their name called on Sunday night.
Palo Alto High outfielder Henry Bolte, a first-team All-Bay Area News Group selection as a senior, was the first local high school player selected as the Oakland Athletics took Bolte in the second round on Sunday with pick No. 56. Bolte, who is committed to Texas, hit .441 with 13 homers and 48 stolen bases for the Vikings this season.
When the draft continued on Monday, three other UC Berkeley players were taken in the top five rounds as former Valley Christian star Steven Zobac was taken by the Kansas City Royals in the fourth round before Monte Vista product and Bears reliever Josh White went to the Miami Marlins in the fifth round. After White was taken with pick No. 142, Bears first baseman Nathan Martorella of Salinas High rounded out the top 150 when the Padres chose the First Team All-Pac-12 slugger.
