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
