Just when it looked like the Militello family of Howell would have three siblings playing college ball in Michigan, the plan changed.
Nobody is upset about it, because Justin Militello received an offer that was too good to refuse.
Instead of playing baseball at Eastern Michigan University with twin brother Jackson, his long-time catcher, Justin has signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves’ organization.
He is the first Livingston County player to sign a pro contract right out of high school since 1998 Brighton graduate Drew Henson, who played minor league baseball in the New York Yankees' system while also being a quarterback at the University of Michigan.
