ST. PETERSBURG -- With the 13th pick of the 2016 MLB Draft on Thursday, the Rays selected Joshua Lowe, a third baseman/right-handed pitcher from Pope High in Marietta, Ga.

Lowe, who is committed to Florida State, was generally considered the most talented two-way player in this year's Draft.

The Draft continues on Friday with Rounds 3-10. The MLB.com preview show begins at 12:30 p.m. ET, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 3-10 beginning at 1 p.m. ET.

Some believe Lowe will be a pitcher; others believe he'll be a third baseman. He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Georgia after leading Pope High to to the Georgia 6-A finals.
