Four Tritons Taken in 2011
MLB Baseball Draft
Edmonds, Washington - Three current and one former Triton baseball players were selected in the 2011 Major League Baseball draft. Second baseman Taylor Brennan (.370 4 HR) was selected in the 32nd round by the Seattle Mariners. Brennan was selected to the NWAACC’s 2nd Team All Northern Division this year. Right handed pitcher David Reynolds was selected in the 42nd round by the Baltimore Orioles. Reynolds has a fastball that reaches 93 mph and a slider that projects to be an above average big league pitch. Third baseman Bobby LeCount (.330 5 HR) was selected in the 44th round by the Pittsburg Pirates. LeCount was named the NWAACC 2010 Northern Region Player of the Year as a freshman and then voted All Northern Region as a sophomore. “What great honors these three individuals earned with their time at Edmonds. They all have huge decisions to make on what is best for their careers at this point,” Coach Ditter responded.
Former Triton right-handed starter and Pre-season All American Chris Dennis was also selected in the 2011 draft. Dennis set the single season and career saves record at the University of Portland. Chris was selected in the 32nd round by the Colorado Rockies. “Chris is a special player who has done nothing but win since he started playing the game of baseball, and everybody always said he wasn’t good enough, but did nothing but succeed at every step in his career. I see Chris having a long career in professional baseball,” Coach Ditter said.
Former Triton left-handed pitcher Paris Shewey signed a free agent deal with the Houston Astros. Shewey lead the Cougars in Appearances in 2010, and was the Cougar closer this past year. Paris pitched for the Tritons in 2008, helping them win an NWAACC championship. Shewey will finish his bachelor’s degree next fall at WSU in Business Administration.
“What a great accomplishment for all these guys, it’s a great feeling when guys go through our program, earn degrees and play professional baseball. Everybody has a dream to play in the big leagues but so few get to. That degree is earned and allows our former player to be successful after baseball is over “Ditter Stated”
Former Triton shortstop Kirby Young signed a free agent deal with the Anaheim Angles. Kirby played two years with the Tritons before transferring to Sacramento State University.
In addition to those drafted, other Tritons are moving onto four year schools from the 2011 baseball team.
