NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Mauer, a slugging high school catcher with a strong arm, was taken by the Minnesota Twins with the No. 1 pick in Tuesday’s baseball draft. Mauer, a three-sport star from Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, Minn., is the first catcher drafted with the top pick since Milwau kee took BJ. Surhoff in 1985. The 6-foot-4, 2 05-pound Mauer was a standout in baseball, basketball and football, and in tends to concentrate on playing baseball despite a scholarship to play quarterback at Florida State. Mauer joined Danny Good win (Chicago White Sox, 1971) and David Clyde (Texas, 1973) as the only players to be chosen by their hometown teams with the No. 1 pick. The Chicago Cubs selected Mark Prior, the Southern Cali fornia right-hander considered by some to be the best college pitch er ever, with the second pick. Prior, 14-1 with.a 1.50 ERA, had a school and Pac-10 confer ence-record 189 strikeouts and just 17 walks in 131 2-3 innings for the College World Series- bound Trojans. Some scouts be lieve he could be an effective major league pitcher right now. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Prior has a blazing fastball that reaches the mid- to high-’90s, an excellent breaking ball and a sol id curve. He was drafted by the New York Yankees with the 43 rd pick in 1998, but opted to go to Vanderbilt. He transferred to USC after his freshman year and quickly established himself as one college baseball’s most dominant pitchers. Dewon Brazelton, a hard- throwing right-hander from Middle Tennessee State, was taken by Tampa Bay with the third overall pick. Brazelton went from being an unknown pitcher to one of the best in college after an out standing summer with Team USA, going 6-0 with a team record-ERA of 0.65. Philadelphia chose right-han der Gavin Floyd with the fourth pick. Floyd, from Mt. St. Joseph High School in Severna Park, Md., has a fastball that touches the mid-’90s and sometimes gets up to 97 mph. Floyd also has an impressive, knee-buckling curve, among the best in the draft, and excellent command. Mark Teixeira, the sweet swinging Georgia Tech third baseman considered to be one of college baseball’s greatest switch-hitters, was taken by Texas with the fifth pick. Teixeira was sidelined for 10 weeks with a broken right ankle, but picked up where he left off as soon as he returned to the lineup last month. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Teixeira has hit for power and average everywhere he has swung a bat, including for Tearn USA last summer and in the Cape Cod League in past, sea sons. He is a good overall athlete who developed into a fine de fensive third baseman. The Montreal Expos took UCLA right-hander Josh Karp with the sixth pick. After an out standing performance for Team USA last summer, Karp strug gled with a nagging groin pull and his command. But his size Basketball and repertoire — a fastball that hits the mid-’90s, good tune and solid changeup — have many believing he has the po- ffirir tential to become a dominant I /-% tlon pro pitcher. jUIb ^adm Baltimore went for Chris ;1 high Smith, a left-hander from Cum- 0°pi c s ' nce ’ berland College in Tennessee, Ruling in/!// who helped lead Florida Stateto the College World Series last season as an outfielder. 1 le wanted to hone his pitch ing skills, but Seminoles coach Wotirrf of Reg Hut decisio Supreme C That racial q Compelling Mike Martin preferred Smith lhat the use remain a position player.
