CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State junior third baseman Michael Gretler and redshirt senior left-handed pitcher Max Engelbrekt both heard their names called by Major League teams on Wednesday.
Gretler was selected in the 39th round, 1,168th overall, by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2017 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, while Engelbrekt went in the 40th round, 1,213th overall, by the Washington Nationals.
The selection is the second of Gretler's career – he was also taken in the 39th round in 2014 by Boston but did not sign before coming to Oregon State.
