BOONE, N.C. – Appalachian State University baseball junior catcher Chandler Seagle was selected in the 2017 Major League Baseball Draft by the San Diego Padres in the 30th round (No. 888 overall) on Wednesday afternoon.
"It's amazing on a day like today to live out a moment that you have pictured in your head your entire life," Seagle said. "There are so many people to thank and I'd have to start with my Mom and Dad for everything they have helped me through in my life."
Seagle continued, "It's going to be hard leaving a group of guys like the ones up at App State, but I know that team is moving toward great things with the seniors that will lead the team next year and the underclassmen that will help push the team toward success.
