— FROSTBURG — Pitcher Greg Ross became the first Frostburg State University baseball player to be selected in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft in more than 30 years when he was taken by the Atlanta Braves in the 18th round late Tuesday.
Ross is the third Bobcat to be drafted. John Elder was selected by the New York Mets in 1978 while Jim Riggleman, current manager for the Washington Nationals, was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1974.
A senior right-hander, Ross was 11-2 with two complete games, a save and a 1.49 earned run average this year. He set a single season school record with 112 strikeouts in 90 2-3 innings, and his 11 victories is the second highest total in a single season in school history. Opposing hitters managed just a .192 batting average against him this year.
Ross was named the Capital Athletic Conference Player of the Year, first-team All-Mid-Atlantic Region, and a second-team Division III All-American.
Coach Guy Robertson’s Bobcats finished the year with a 28-14 record, were Capital Athletic Conference champions and played in the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional in Marietta, Ohio.
Additional coverage will be featured in Thursday’s edition of the Times-News.
